Taichi Sword (Wu An)
The Tai Chi (Taiji) sword delves into the depth of Tai Chi Chuan practice, combining slow, graceful movements with mental focus and deep breathing. Like Tai Chi Chuan, it is often practiced for health benefits such as improving balance, body alignment, and relaxation, while also cultivating internal energy. The sword acts as an extension of the body, challenging the practitioner to coordinate the whole body while strengthening the limbs.
In this workshop, participants will learn and practice:
- Basic sword principles individually and with a partner
- The 54-move sequence (beginners start with a few initial moves)
- Techniques and applications
Prerequisite: Experience with empty-hand Tai Chi Chuan is required. Prior weapons experience is helpful but not necessary.
Sword: A wooden sword is required for partner practice. A metal sword may be used for solo training. If you don’t have one, wooden swords are available for purchase at the school.

At Studio Emkan, practice was never just about movement—it taught me to live more consciously in my body. For years, Tai Chi had been a mental concept to me, but here, I experienced it in action: focus, presence, and inner balance. This space became a point of reconnection with myself—calm, structured, and sincere.
