Weapons anyone?

[Taiji fan]

I'm afraid I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on this. It used more higher, narrower stances, more 180 degree turns, and kept the arms closer to the body (comparatively).

no probs...I was just curious

I lil late with this...sorry...
The staff form I practice is pretty cool but basic- Sifu just calls it Northern Staff form...my staff length is to just above the eyebrow...

I just started the darn dao/saber/broad sword form I was talking about before and apparently it is not Yang Shr...Yang Cheng Fu designed a saber form that is taught widely now but what we practice is possibly the Tung form mentioned above--there is indeed a "stabbing stamp" and the form also has a San Ti stance in it suggesting some Hsing I influence...He learned the form from Nick Gracenin and I saw it performed last year in Orlando with an old style Dao...pretty nice...I'm stoked...

So far, what Ive gained is a little soreness in my shoulder regions and the sword seems to be getting lighter with each practice...pretty neat!
