We all know tai chi practice is in slow motion, but many beginners feel they are lost because the slow moves have no clear purpose.

Here you can try a different approach: Practice Tai Chi with a Sword".  The beautiful flowing tai chi sword movements attract many people's interest. Your moves are much clear with a purpose - blocking, parrying, pointing, slicing, cutting and stabbing, so easy to understand.  Most important, it is much effective to release out your inner emotion and stagnation.  Sword practice will improve your balance, strengthen your body, increase your stamina, sharpen your mind, and raise your spirit.  Come to tai chi sword class and train to be a warrior!
