@@huwhitecavebeast1972Very cool! Yiquan is a wonderful practice. Both very approachable to start, and very deep once you get into it at the same time! If you like Yiquan you might like a video on our channel about how to benefit from standing meditation in a way that's beneficial and easily accessible. A couple people told me afterwards that it helped them understand standing post meditation much more! Thanks for commenting and I look forward to meeting you whenever you decide to do a west coast martial journey! 😃 kzitem.info/news/bejne/ymeImH54bGeUiZg

@@phoenixmountaintaichi Thank you, I am definitely going to check it out. Much appreciated. Zang Zhuang changed my martial arts, and my life. I really hope I can get over there to train with you in the future, perhaps even as early as this fall. I find your teaching style very enjoyable and effective.

Too bad he wasn't showing actual sword use. You don't push on the edge of a two edged weapon. Interesting use of a sabre, though. Thanks.

Oh yes you're right. I should say saber and not sword, not two sided sword at certainly! Thanks for bringing it up because fingers are precious! 😀🙏

It's also called broadsword. Not "jian" though you are right about that.

@@KingoftheJianglYes good point. I probably should change the title to say Dao or broadsword. I sort of geared it towards general knowledge people, non-experts, who may not really know what a Dao or a broadsword or saber really means! But I appreciate you helping to clarify in the comments. Thanks! 🙏

Don't laugh about HEMA because what are you doing is to apply HEMA sword principles for binding. Edge is stronger then flat, what is above is stronger than what is below, what is coming from above is stronger than what is coming from below, the closer to the guard part of the blade is stronger than the closer to the tip one, the centered to the body blade is stronger than the one placed more aside. After this are the winding principles. More than this, if you are study the Rapier Destreza you will find a lot of the taiji principles there but better physical al geometrical explained. Is as a Taiji fighter laughing about a MMA fighter one. Try to fight with a real HEMA fighter to see if all what you said have the same efficacity. Is not about energies ,is just about geometry, leverage, mechanics and perfect understanding of the timing. Otherwise is a very welcomed kind of videos about the taiji sword. Please keep going!

Thank you for the thoughtful response! I totally agree with you about the mechanics of movement in blade work! And there is a lot of sophistication to the design of a blade as to where the edge is, where the flats are, and what angles they occur. And curvature. Even a few inches of difference in curvature is worlds apart in handling and usage! I appreciate your respectfulness. I do not laugh at HEMA practitioners, more that I laugh at the HEMA practitioners who laugh at me, and I think you understand what I mean. 😀🙏 Because we understand it i's wonderful to have an open mind and invaluable to experience different methods directly. You're right about rapier usage, and I have noticed a lot of relevant and interesting concepts. You're right too about the lack of explanations in a lot of Tai Chi teaching, and hence I present some of the material here. I can tell we both love these martial and pragmatic aspects of the arts! So it's nice to meet you and thanks for commenting. 🙏
