Tai Chi Sword is as different from Western swordsmanship as calligraphy is from typing. The embodiment of the Tai Chi Form and training in Sensing Hands are pre requisites for learning the Sword Form. The sensitivity and delicacy of the prior forms are needed if the practice of sword is to be of benefit to the practitioner. When one becomes proficient in the Sword Form they can progress to fencing where the principles of Sensing Hands apply.
