Tai Chi Broadsword
Darn Dao ~ Tai Chi Broadsword
The Tai Chi Broadsword is also referred to as a Dao. Its' translation in English is Saber or Wide Blade Sword and referred to as a Broadsword. Usually, the Dao is more than 1 1/2 inches wide. In Tai Chi the emphasis is on feeling. Like Push Hands, you want the sword to become part of you so you can "SENSE" or feel your opponent. This practice thereby requires you to focus beyond the blade tip and takes total concentration.
The broadsword in constructions has the following components:
-
The Blade
-
Tip
-
Back edge which is dull
-
Blade edge which is sharp on the first third to two thirds
-
Blood groove which allows the weapon to be withdrawn from the opponent after being thrust into the body
-
The flat edge used to block an opponents weapon
-
-
The Guard protects the hand from other weapons during its' use
-
The Handle
-
The grip or handle where you hold the sword
-
The pummel at the end of the handle
