vendictive_gargoyles Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Hey, hope I'm posting in the right place... kinda new to this site. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows the 2nd form for Taiji Quan nunchucks. I've been trying to track it down for a while now, but haven't had any luck so far.... If anyone could help, or point me in the right direction, I'd be really greatful. Thanks.
JerryLove Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 The nunchuck is an Okinawan improvisational weapon. Chinese styles (like Tiaji) pretty much universally use war weapons, not improvised weapons. Further, IME, Taiji doesn't have weapons forms.. it uses the same forms with and witout weapons. This is fortunate, considering most people spend years on a single form. I would be very suspicious of a nunchuck form in Taiji. https://www.clearsilat.com
The Hammer Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Jerry: Taijiquan does have weapons forms, including dao (broadsword), gim (straight sword), spear, and staff. These weapons forms are not the same empty hand forms performed with a weapon. They are forms designed specifically for the applications of the weapon. The Hammer
