Chen 18 Essence Sword Form 

Sword Workshop
This 6-week session will start on Monday, September 21 at 8:00 pm
and will continue every Monday through October 26.

Monday Nights 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm

18 Posture Essence Sword - Shi Ba Shi Jing Jian

Grandmaster Chen ZhengLei created the 18 Movement Form as a short routine suitable for beginners. While the form is easier for a new student to learn, it still offers the more experienced student the opportunity to develop important principles, energies and techniques for the straight sword or jian.

This routine is also an excellent introduction to the traditional 49 movement sword form from Chen Village. The initial movements are taken directly from the traditional form and presented in the same sequence. Only one movement is modified slightly to simplify the footwork before the ending of the form. Once the short routine is mastered, you can easily move on to the longer form, or stay with this compact form you can practice for health, skill and fun!

If you already own a straight sword, please bring it with you. Please note that sharpened weapons are NOT permitted at Jing Ying Institute. We have a limited number of loaner swords available for the class, plenty of sticks, and we also have swords available for purchase.

Program taught by Shifu Billy Greer who learned this form from Grandmaster Chen ZhengLei when it was introduced to the US at the 1st International Chen TaiJi Seminar in LA.
