Master the Chen Style Taijiquan Double Broadswords (Shuang Dao) — a classic double weapon system from the Chen Small Frame tradition — with 11th-generation lineage holder Chen Yongfu. This 35-form routine covers a rich array of blade techniques: cutting (Pi), hacking (Kan), arcing (Liao), parrying (Gua), thrusting (Zha), crossing (Jie), pressing (Ya), and figure-8 flowers (舞花). The guiding martial proverb — "Single blade looks at the hand, double blades look at the walking" — underscores the routine's emphasis on nimble, stable footwork as the foundation for dual-weapon coordination. Master Chen explains how relaxed, active, and vibrating (松活弹抖) force originates from the root and is directed by the waist, while twining and wrapping (缠头裹脑) techniques provide defensive cover and offensive strikes. Body-Sword Integration and Silk Reeling power are developed through fluid, water-like choreography. An advanced resource for serious Chen Taijiquan practitioners.
