Tai Chi Sabre
The origins of the Taoist Tai Chi Sabre Set are believed to go back to Chang Sang Fen. Comprised of 27 move, the set brings the benefits of working the physiology at the skeleton-muscular level.
Spirals, one-legged dan yus and overhead circular motions are predominant features helping the stretching and relaxation of the shoulders and of the upper back.
Practiced diligently, this set favours the opening of the upper gate that connects the spine with the head.
