Tai Chi Sword practice is probably the most popular of all of the Tai Chi weapons, but also one of the most difficult to master. The practicioner must have a flexible body and wrist to truly make the sword an extension of the body.
Below is an excellent book about the Tai Chi Sword. It covers subjects such as how to grip the sword handle to principles of usage. A highly recommended book for the Tai Chi student who practices the sword.
