Taijidao • Sabre Solo & Partner Practice

The taiji sabre (dao) is an important part of the taiji curriculum. Studying the sabre helps the taijiquan practitioner in many ways; it improves balance and coordination, heightens one's sense of martial awareness, and introduces the medium-length weapons. All aspects of taijiquan, including the taijidao, are based on the thirteen-powers theory. In this class, we will learn the basics of sabre handling, stance, and partner interaction while exploring this time-honoured theory. Please bring a wooden or metal sabre.
