weapons

In Chinese martial arts and in our system of t’ai chi, weapons training is used to build strength, fitness and skill.

We practice forms and drills using the sabre, spear and double edged sword.

Each weapon builds up different kinds of fitness or power development develop different type of movement skills.

The spear is the most powerful while the sword is the most subtle.

When you have a good familiarity with each weapon then using everyday objects can become easy to use for self defence if needed.
