Tai Chi weapons and demonstration videos
Explore Tai Chi sword, spear and pole source recordings. Read the collection notes, then watch each video below or open its individual page for the recording description and navigation.
The available material is a focused weapons and demonstration collection. One rain-courtyard sword version represents a family of six edits; the two Wu-style spear files retain their A and B labels, and the Thirteen-pole source includes an empty-hand section. These recordings do not form a verified general beginner curriculum. Spoken audio language is unverified and no subtitle tracks are supplied.

Tai Chi sword — Rain-courtyard demonstration
One representative recording of a solo sword demonstration in a wet courtyard. Five other supplied music/edit versions are retained privately as alternatives, rather than presented as five additional lessons. This source is a performance reference, not a verified step-by-step sword course.

Two supplied recordings labelled Wu-style Tai Chi spear, retaining their original A and B designations. Sampled images include presentation and spear demonstrations.
