very nice, if u know sworfighting with real swords, u see how he plays with his Students, and this i have seen in all his forms, wich are focused on real combat swordfights with an illusionary Enemy most other Tai Chi Forms only use the Sword as Toy for looking nice..

@sphiral84 I see what art do you study if you don't mind my asking?

[sphiral84]

@vashcat i meant that he is doing cycles by weapon, combining it with a footwork

@ReReShow80 you're thinking of western fencing

asian fencing is way different

I by no means want to sound like I think I'm some educated martial artist, but this to me looks like just one exercise in a chinese sword style. It seems similar to sticking hands in Wing Chun. Just an exercise in deflecting the energy of your opponent. Not the entire style of swordplay itself.

Does she EVER score a hit on his "center line"? No she doesn't, so to answer your question he clearly does unrstand the concept of a center line.
