Product Description
Chen-style Saber is considered a "short" weapon. 13 key movements and energies are exploited thus the name, 13 Method Saber. This is a short form with good, solid saber basics which include: close; thrust; block; chop; cut; intercept; twine; slice; parry and raise. This version shows characteristic Chen timing, reeling, softness and stepping. Played lightly for a saber but within the scope of Tai Chi's flavor.This Double Saber set consists of 35 movements which include: hack; chop; parry; thrust; intercept; press; push; slice; block and swing. The old saying that, "With the saber look to the free hand, with Double Sabers look to the feet," is true since footwork controls the angles of the blades and alterations of this attitude. This is a good, solid Double Saber that, due to the requirements of the weapons, doesn't show any particular tendency toward the Chen or any other style. Just good, comfortable Double Knife work.
