Learning Tai Chi sword is easy when you remember Tai Chi principles and basics to stay relaxed and connected in your movements, even when holding a sword. If your first experience with Tai Chi sword is learning a sword form, STOP NOW and watch this video. In order to properly flow with your sword, you need to first adopt the MINDSET that the sword is not an external object you wield, but an extension of your hand. After you adopt this mindset and remember that Tai Chi with a weapon is still Tai Chi, you will find it much easier to move with your sword.
