Started learning Tai Chi sword with Kwek Li Hua Shifu last year November. I find this a good mix to our usual traditional Sun style empty hand form.
Thankful to my Shifu, he has been very patient with us, sharing even on things as fundamental as 'how to' hold a sword during our very first lesson.
Our regular weekly practice in the studio now comprises of 3 segments - typically 3 sets of Sun style practice, followed by Taichi warmup exercises (silk reeling) with the last half an hour on sword training.
So you get the best of everything you can get out of Taichi, building strength, dan tien Chi, balance and great relaxation in preparation for a good sleep at night...
