Customer Reviews

Very clear photos & text
Greatlittle book on the classical Yang style sword form. With a DVD or perhaps youtube videos to hand you could definitely teach yourself this form to a decent standard with a bit of hard work. This would be especially possible if you already practised Taiji and 'understand' what it's all about.
Highly recommended as a reference book or a learning aid. I particularly liked the arrow concept on the photos which work very well. This book fills in the blanks left out in Chen Weiming's book.

At the Cutting Edge - a book for swordsmen
A beautifully-illustrated and well-conceived workbook for anyone wishing to learn Tai Chi Sword. Those who have a general interest in sword work will also find this appealing.
The research in this book is first rate and the instructive nature of the text is easy to follow.
Whichever style of Tai Chi you practice, you will find this book a boon.
