About Chen Style Single and Double Broadswords

Chen Style Single Broadsword is considered a "short" weapon. 13 key movements and energies are exploited thus the name, 13 Method Single Broadsword. This is a short form with good, solid Single Broadsword basics which include: close; thrust; block; chop; cut; intercept; twine; slice; parry and raise. This version shows characteristic Chen timing, reeling, softness and stepping. Played lightly for a Single Broadsword but within the scope of Tai Chi's flavor.

This Double Broadswords set consists of 35 movements which include: hack; chop; parry; thrust; intercept; press; push; slice; block and swing. The old saying that, "With the Single Broadsword look to the free hand, with Double Broadswords look to the feet," is true since footwork controls the angles of the blades and alterations of this attitude. This is a good, solid Double Broadswords that, due to the requirements of the weapons, doesn't show any particular tendency toward the Chen or any other style. Just good, comfortable Double Knife work.

Chen ZhengLei, one of China's most famous Martial Arts masters and the 19th generation exponent of Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan). He is considered by many to be a major representative of Chen Style Tai Chi. His tireless and inspirational teaching has done much to raise the profile of the style around the world.
