Taiji single sword is one of the short weapons of Chen-style taijiquan. It has 49 forms, which are reasonable in arrangement and compact in cohesion. The sword methods includ stabbing, chopping, upper cutting, parrying, pointing, slicing, and supporting, blocking, sweeping, intercepting, thrusting, and pushing.
To practice the Chen-style taiji sword, you should use taijiquan as the base, and you must use the mind to guide the qi. The force is focused at the tip of sword, so that the weapon and body move naturally as a whole.
