Tai Chi for health & wellbeing
Lately it has been too wet to practice my Tai Chi weapons’ forms so I’ve had to practice in my living room.
I use my wooden sabre and sword for safety reasons but my eight foot spear can be a problem. Especially near a television set or over hanging lights not to mention the walls. So far I haven’t destroyed anything yet.
Just had a work out with my Tai Chi spear form practicing strength drills.
As I was training I noticed I was occasionally off balance, particularly when I was using fajing.
The spear is about 8 feet in length, made of bamboo and a weighty beast.
I need to make sure I stay in control of the weapon which is easier when I practice my sword, sabre, and fan forms because they are lighter in comparison.
Next time I go into the garden and practice I need to remind myself to – relax and stay in control of the weapon.
