Still Mountain T'ai Chi Center Presents Michuan Kunlun Taiji Jian Sword Form With Scott M. Rodell

We will study the Kunlun (Old) Taiji Sword Form of the Yang Family. This is a form for the jian, the double-edged, straight sword. We will:

• Be exposed to the rich history of the most revered Chinese weapon, the sword
• Be introduced to the sword form
• Learn how the sword form will bring precision to empty hand form
• Develop fa jin (releasing energy) through sword form practice

Bring your own jian (straight sword), which can be found at any martial arts supplier. You will also need either a durable wooden sword or a one inch dowel the length of a jian. We will do some two person work, so bring your own protection. This is your responsibility.

Scott M. Rodell has over 20 years taijiquan (tai chi chuan) training in two branches of Yang Taijiquan. He is an internationally recognized expert of Chinese historical swordsmanship & the author of Chinese Swordsmanship, The Yang Family Taiji Jian Tradition.
