Chen
Style Tai Chi Double Broadsword
There are 35 movements in this
routine, which is reasonably
and cohesively arranged. Its
main movements include hack,
chop, parry, thrust, intercept,
press, push, slice, block and
swing in figure-8 form. With
smooth and round body movements
and agile and stable footwork,
the two broadswords are wonderfully
played, fully embodying Chen
style Tai Chi Chuan features
of hardness and softness in
harmony, fastness and slowness
in interval and looseness, activeness
and explosiveness in force application..
Exercise requirements: the broadswords
should cooperate well with the
steps, as the saying goes that
"Looking at your hands
when using single broadsword
and watch your steps when using
double broadsword which emphasizes
the importance of your footwork
when practicing two broadswords.
