Considered the most noble and distinguished among weapons. Both men and women can participate on the same levels in mastering the art of the sword, although women especially find the grace of this form appealing. The same basic tai chi principles of energy, balance and coordination apply, only now qi flows through the sword as an extension of the arms. Unity is still the key to create the gracefulness and power required to “Dance with the Sword”, as the practice is referred to in China.
