Tai Chi Swords—a Brief Introduction
The Tai Chi Chuan or Taijiquan is a martial art which originated in China. The students have to use one of the Tai Chi swords and other weapons. The training will only require them to use Tai Chi swords made from wood—whether it is a straight sword or jian or a sabre or Dao. However, as the time and training progresses, they will leave their wooden Tai Chi swords behind and will use swords made from steels instead.
However, makers of Tai Chi reproduction swords produce poorly crafted swords which are a shame for the ancient martial arts. But what is more difficult to understand is that Tai Chi practitioners also use these kinds of flimsy and weak swords, even if they are doing Tai Chi for several years. Sure, they are cheap but if you love what you are doing, don’t you want to use the best instruments required to do it the best way possible?
The reason for this is that these people think that investing in the original and first class Tai Chi swords is a luxury which they think is not something that they should spend their money on. Collectors will think otherwise.
However, a sword created for the purpose of fight and battle should not just be kept in a cabinet or hung on the wall. The craftsmen’s skills and time spent to produce such fine weapon will just go to waste. So it is best to get antique swords that cost a lot and use them for their purpose.
