Chen & Yang Tai Chi Jian - Sword forms?
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:01 am
The Chen and Yang Sabre forms are completely different from each other in every way, as they should be.
But the Chen and Yang Jian Sword forms follow the same order of movements. The Chen version is more elaborate, but still follows the same basic pattern.
The Yang version is obviously abbreviated and simplified, compared to the Chen version.
Yang form is supposed to come from General Li, and he was said to have made it up, introduced to Yang Cheng Fu.
The Chen version is supposed to come from Chen Wangting or earlier, they don't know.
Then since they come from two totally different sources, why is the pattern the same?
Yangs say the Jian form is not Tai Ji, it comes from General LI's mixed background.
Did Chen and General Li get the form from the same source (but they say General Li made it up)?
