In fact the form is original and the demonstration is perfect ... bit the Master do the form under an absolut control and not whith a real good kung-fu. That's why people said more dance than Tai-chi.

So much different from the traditional Yang style sabre as performed by grandmaster Yang Zeng Duo or Yang Jun.. Too many additional movements been added to make it look flowery and dancelike..

Edward is a rather skillful practitioner.

But better not to call it as "Yang's Taichi Saber."

Martial art can be creative, and changing over time.

But if we use the name, we better stick to the traditional forms.

it is modern wushu-fied Yang saber form. the traditional does not have pung-lu-ji-an in beginning nor other added movements.

I have to agree with simmspaul, not very traditional, making the form more appealing to the eye, more graceful, robs it of spirit and intent, making it more like a dance than the martial art it is.

not very traditional, fella.....
