Most Westerners are familiar with Taiji Quan (often spelled T'ai Chi Ch'uan), the graceful, dancelike exercise movements practiced by the Chinese to promote health and longevity. However, many do not realize that Taiji is also a martial art, and that it includes practice with weapons, including the ancient sword called jian. As with Taiji Quan, the practice ofTaiji Jian is based on Chinese yinyang, fiveelements, and Daoist philosophical concepts, and combines meditation, martial, and healing arts.The Art of Chinese Swordsmanship is the first complete Englishlanguage introduction to Taiji Jian. It describes the history of jian swordsmanship, its fundamental principles, and its essential form of thirtytwo postures, including a thorough discussion of both internal and external components. Written by a master who has practiced the sword form for twentyfive years, it will allow interested Westerners to study and practice this rewarding path to physical and mental wellbeing.
