This is my version of the Chen Pan-ling taiji sword form. I've only been doing it for about a year, so it's not perfect but it is what it is -- a beginner level practice. I find the form to be very difficult and there's so much meat to the practice that it's almost overwhelming sometimes. Sword is extremely difficult to do well and the practice is very humbling.
The form is 42 moves long and takes a little over 3:30 to do. The range of motion is greater than in the taiji barehand form and will really challenge you athletically. Some moves go from a low position to a high one or viceversa, really testing your balance and coordination.
Those of you who know the form will see that I flubbed up the footwork near the end. The reason is that I was trying to stay within frame. The form goes very far to the right, making it difficult to stay within frame while being close enough to see some detail. So I cut the footwork a bit.
Hope you enjoy the performance.
