This class continues from beginner level. Chinese straight sword and the fan are both are traditional tai chi weapons and practiced across many styles.  It is recommended spending between 3-6 months practicing basics with any weapon before starting with the form. This may seem like quite a long time but the sword and especially fan takes quite a lot of practice. What looks quite easy often is a little trickier than you first think.

It is strongly advised to take the beginner level classes and move into this level at the advice of the instructor.
