When I first learned this form I was surprised at how little one swings the saber versus how much time is spent pushing and shoving with it. Your brief explanation is excellent, and the reality was that in combat one is not always blessed with the perfect distance. These saber techniques are also interesting when compared to European “half-swording “ we see in the classic manuals from Italy and elsewhere. Two different ways to solve the same problem. Thanks!
Ciao David. It is precisely a characteristic of this particular Taolu of Yang style Taiji, the Chen style sabre, although much more complex, is more "normal". 🙏🏽
O Dear Shaolin Master Dante, your Kung Fu is excellent always , your stance work is really great, your foot work is great as well, keep up your great works,😂😅
I noticed you holding your arm outside the blade when handle is forward. Why are you protecting the blade with your arm? The arm is vulnerable to a complete seveence.
Interesting. Good leg/balance work. Thanks.

Dante Basili. Posso usare lo stile Tai Chi Quan Yang anche per l'autodifesa in strada?
Si, se lo si allena anche come arte marziale e non solo per la salute.
@DanteBasili Adesso ho 61 anni! Diventa sempre più difficile difendersi!
watch his foot movement
Bellissima forma. Mi piacerebbe vedere qualche applicazione ✌🏻

You will see it in many Chinese forms. It's weird for people who practice Hema or Fencing
