6 COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
​TAI CHI SWORD

1: What are the benefits to learning the Tai Chi sword course?

  • Many people feel that they would love to learn something unique, something magical and something that is a little different.
  • But not everyone wants to enter a class full of energetic and already skilled practitioners.
  • Some prefer to learn at their own pace, in the privacy and tranquility of their own home.
  • The sword teaches grace and balance, fluidity in movement and imparts an overpowering experience of harmony within the dynamics of each move.
  • Forget learning the sword as something martial - it is magical. 

2: Do I need to have practised Tai Chi before learning Sword at home?

ANSWER: No.​  Despite what you may think, you do not need to know Tai Chi in order to learn the Sword. And it's not just me that thinks so, other authors and sword teachers agree that the sword Form teaches a different set of skills. The two practices are inter-dependent, meaning that you can learn one, without necessarily having studied the other first. Think of it like learning High Jump and Long Jump. They are related, but you don't need to practice both to achieve competency in one. 
If you do have any Tai Chi experience then you will find some of the moves familiar. But the sword is different and has another sense of movement altogether. 

3: How Much does it cost to buy a Tai Chi Sword?

ANSWER: It's Cheaper than you think! I am using an Amazon $20  - extendable sword  - blunt edged -  easy to transport and good price for quality. Don't opt for any cheaper version - it'll fall apart (see video above). Go for the $20 - or better, look at the $50 Physcool version (my favourite).

Don't want a retractable sword? Some people prefer solid metal swords, wooden swords, broom sticks, bamboo canes, or even baguettes. See the videos below for examples of other swords. .

4: Is the Tai Chi Sword difficult to learn?

All the Tai Chi Forms are challenging - both empty hands and weapons Forms.  However, each time I teach the sword, I find students learn it easier than the empty hand Tai Chi Form. So for the first time, I'm opening up the course to everyone.
​
THE 32 STEP SWORD FORM
To help, many of the postures get repeated, and they are big moves, exaggerated moves, which means if you are relaxed, the momentum of the body carries you along.  
Additionally, each month you'll have extra recap videos sent to you, lists of instructions in a PDF that build into an ebook as well as audio help files and more.  We even have a Facebook group.to optionally connect with (your choice).

5: How can you learn Tai Chi Sword at home?

LEARN IN YOUR OWN TIME
​Most Online courses consist of old updated DVD material. I'm offering classes that consist not only of videos showing the moves from all angles, but audio walk through-files, a monthly ebook of the Sword Form that builds over the course into a comprehensive sword manual - and lots more that together create another learning experience.
All classes are delivered to your email inbox - where you can stream or download the lessons to your laptop or mobile device. 
Too busy that week to do the posture? No problem, it will stay there for when you are ready. Prefer not to do it weekly? Then save up the files and practice them together when it best suits you. 

6: How much does the Tai Chi home-study online sword course cost?

  • The cost is £10 a month and the course lasts a year.
  • You get 4 classes a month - so it works out at £2.50 a class. ​
  • You will receive one week of preparation classes in sword basics and sword exercises before beginning the 32 Step sword Form itself.
  • ​You can join anytime. There is no specific start date, nor end date. The classes are there for you whenever you want them.
  • I am producing the classes each week at the moment, so any questions - just fire away. ​
