Taichi Sword 42 Session 2 - the best! (Copy)

ONE OF OUR BEST EVER WORKSHOPS!  Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu is celebrating its hugely successful Taichi Sword 42 Session 2 Workshop held on 6 November 2022.  A hard routine - Taichi Sword 42 is the standard for international competition - and a difficult routine to learn, but made easy under the guidance of Professor Lily Sun.

After the fascinating Taichi Sword 42 Session 1 Workshop, completing Session 2 ensured students were totally enthralled with the beauty and joy of taichi sword.

Under Lily’s expert instruction, we were captivated by the Taichi Sword 42 routine, we stabbed, thrust, blocked, parried, and pointed the sword, while moving left and right, back, front and oblique. We were delighted to discover our improved balance and posture, focus and control of the sword, and our strength and endurance as well.

Professor Sun was very impressed with how attentive and diligent workshop students were, and glad to pass on more of her knowledge and skills of the taichi sword to future practitioners.

“I was excited to see students quickly adopt the correct posture, stance and balance – improvements from the first session. I am very proud of the good technique students demonstrated and delighted with their efforts.

“Students have focussed well and learnt faster, and their hard work practising the first session and foundation taichi sword movements is evident in the impressive achievements today. I am also delighted to see the photos which clearly demonstrate the high standard achieved at the workshop.”

“Training with the taichi sword increases ability in all the foundations of taichi, particularly balance and posture. It develops focus and spatial awareness, strength, coordination, and fitness. It strengthens the arms and wrist and improves energy coordination throughout the whole body.”

Professor Lily Sun has practiced taichi sword since eight years old, it being her speciality short weapon during her Wushu career. Professor Sun is rare among Australian taichi practitioners as she has won gold medals in taichi sword at the national level in China.  Her superior training techniques has ensured correct foundation and technique as the practical applications of each movement were taught, not just simply the basic movements.

Review sessions for Taichi Sword 42 are planned for January 2023. Stay tuned for more information soon.

Please enjoy the photos of the day.
