Tai Chi Sword Training - Sword Shaking

This is one of the best exercises you can do when starting to learn the jian sword, or even if you know how to use the jian this is an excellent way to warm up and increase wrist strength and flexibility. The key is to get the body to power the movement by either turning the waist left and right, or tilting up and down. This drill is also better with larger movements than smaller subtle movements.
