This week we are going to focus on weapons, because if one element appears anachronistic to a 21st century urban warrior,  then it surely is the training in sword that Tai Chi practitioners still love to promote.

And the Tai Chi martial agenda is certainly broad : broad sword, sabre, staff, fan, ruler, compass, ball, poppadom, tortilla, fish-finger…the list of tai chi weapons is as endless as the debates and interpretations of the spelling of Tai Chi, or Tai ji, or Taijiquan or...

      There are those that believe to practise Tai Chi without tradition or without confirmed lineage, is simply  a waste of time - or shadow boxing. It is an art that lacks substance like Bean Curd lacks solidity. But Bean Curd Boxers beg to differ. We claim that Bean Curd is the ultimate yielding substance, it maintains its shape and form, and is sold at a fair price.
Additionally, it can be superbly crisp when deep fried and absorbs insults like it absorbs flavours. Bean Curd is a fine symbol of the adaptability of 21st Century Tai Chi.

"Be Like Bean Curd My Friend."Said Bruce Lee. (Well, something like that).
