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.
