Wudang Taiyi Xuanmen Sword
(Taoist Sword)
NEW CLASS starting in JANUARY 2021!
Wudang Taiyi Xuanmen Sword
Starting in January, 2021 I will start teaching Wudang Taiyi Xuanmen Jian (Wudang Taoist Sword)!
Sword play has a very special role in traditional Chinese weapons. Wudang Mountain is famous for its sword and has many sword forms, but Wudang Taiyi Xuan Men Jain is one of the oldest and most coveted of all of the sword forms in Wudang. This set has a history of at least several hundred years and teaches over 70 unique Wudang sword techniques. The movements are simple and unpretentious. The speed is both fast and slow.
This course is open to all, but students that already have some basic training in some form of martial arts, dance, or other similar physical practice, will find it much easier to learn. Please note that to learn Taiyi Xuanmen Jian properly, one should practice every day for the entire length of the course. To support you at your home practice, you will be supplied with special weekly practice routine videos to follow. It will take us 4 months (3 lessons per month) to learn the entire set. We will work slowly and carefully.
Each class will include some basic sword drills, learning new movements, review, and corrections on your movements. The classes will be taught livestream via Zoom and available as video recordings afterwards. Handouts, videos, and other relevant materials will be made available on the course private webpage.
I look forward to seeing you in class! This is a wonderful form. I promise that you will love it!

大家好，我将于2021年1月初与大家一起分享武当太乙玄门剑。
武当太乙玄门剑是武当剑的一套有代表性的剑法，至少有几百年的历史，由道门内流传，于上世纪90年代才开始公开对外传授，
太乙玄门剑，共74式，动作朴实无华，但剑法快慢相兼，刚柔相含，
学习者最好有练拳的基础，先练拳再练器械，有练拳的内定功，中定功，再练剑则好很多。
太乙玄门剑，坚持每天练习，每个月3节课，3到4个月可学完整套剑法。
