 Tai Chi Long Pole Tai Chi Long Pole,
sound as “tai ji da gan” in Chinese pinyin, has been known
by quite many foreign practitioners, but most of them
exercise with it as a weapon, in spite of that it is a
traditional instrument for basic training of push-hand. When
you are doing with Tai Chi Long Pole as a weapon (a long
spear), you should always think and do in the |
defence and
attack meanings, which a weapon should does all the time.
And this way you will lose many methods of the instrument,
which was originally used just for basic training of
push-hand in its own methods.
The course of Tai Chi Long Pole in JTC system offers you a
original teaching about the training methods with the
instrument. This way you could get a real practical knowledge
how to train with this traditional instrument of Tai Chi. |
