Stickman Tai Chi: Partner Saber Form: Really Simplified Yang Style Tai Chi

Saber Form is the first weapons form taught in traditional Yang Style Tai Chi, for several reasons. It's simple to learn, the basic movements are the same as the move advanced and complex Sword Forms, and the concepts are similar to those of all weapons forms. In a light-hearted manner, this book teaches the basics of a fun and easy Saber Partner Form. Although there are solo practice Saber Forms, this Partner Form is short and easy to learn. There are only 9 movements per side plus a transition movement to easily shift from A side to B side or vice versa. The transitions allow the Tai Chi player to use this form as a solo form as well as to enjoy it in play with a partner. Unlike other "how-to" Tai chi books with grainy black and white photos, Stickman figures clearly illustrate each step of the movements. The accompanying text descriptions are clear, complete, and concise. Introductory to the instructions for the form are important details about the parts of the Saber and their purpose, the three Zones of Attack, and the necessary role of the left hand during Saber play. The Kindle format lets you take this instructional ebook with you as you practice at home, in a studio, in a park, at the beach, or anywhere in your Kindle, iPhone, or smartphone.
