CHEN STYLE WEAPONS
Chen Style Tai Chi weapon forms are an extension of the barehanded forms. A variety of short and long range weapons are practiced to enhance and reinforce the underlying principles. The jian (thin sword), broadsword, spear, and guan dao vary in complexity and number of movements but all are fluid and high-energy forms.
