Taiji Saber - Thursdays at 6pm
Taiji saber, sometimes called Chinese broadsword, is a good introduction to short weapons in your Taiji practice, and is traditionally learned before proceeding to the straight sword. The form involves large sweeping motions and some spins, and should be accessible to anyone who has learned the barehand form. It encourages the development of external energy, balance and stepping. This form is a fun way to expand and deepen your practice. Instructor: Ariana Berns. Open to class card and monthly members.
