HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF
TAIJI SABRE
Grandmaster Wong performing "Reverse Hitting of Purple Bell" of the Taiji Sabre
The Taiji Sabre is like a Shaolin sabre. In fact, if Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan), which is normally performed slowly and gracefully, is performed fast and powerfully, it looks like Shaolin Kungfu.
The most deadly of Taiji Sabre techniques is the reverse slash. It also includes other techniques like the chop, the sweep and the thrust.
In researching the Taiji Sabre, I examined many classics and sources. I maintained the characteristics of Taijiquan, namely being flowing and "soft".
