The Sabre is often the first weapon learned in this system of t’ai chi. It is a powerful exercise which develops power, footwork, cardiovascular conditioning and traditionally is said to forge the willpower.
Movements are of the ‘tiger’ type, meaning stances can be done very long and low, stretching the body and hips and building a power base.
Techniques are driven powerfully using a coiling and whipping waist driven action, helping students to develop powerful whole body mechanics.
Footwork patterns and stance training are varied and include many single leg stances, cross legged spinning movements, jumps and leaps.
