This 50-minute DVD demonstrates the graceful and relatively unknown Yang Tai Chi Saber form, followed by a step-by-step teaching sequence.
Saber teaches extension of "chi," the life energy which promotes strength, wellness and longevity. The student practices extending the chi beyond the hands into the saber. In studying the Saber the student learns to send chi through any object, transforming the object into a vibrant tool for concentration and martial arts.
The saber is heavy and would quickly tire a person who was training with it if they did not utilize the natural momentum of the falling saber along with the circles of the Tai Chi form. The particular movements in this form reflect the smoothness, grace and fluidity of the Yang Tai Chi movements. This form is a beautiful and a natural extension of the Yang solo form and a wonderful way to augment your practice.
