This is a partner form of the t'ai chi tao. This is a rarely taught t'ai chi Tao form. Tao also spelled Dao is a single edged broadsword, similar to a machete. This is a more practical form than most solo sword forms. No real swords are allowed on campus and sharp swords are inapproporate for partner practice. Bring a practice sword or a stick. A similar sized stick to those used for the t'ai chi walking stick would work perfectly. A rattan stick as used in arnis would also work well. We can usually finish this form in one session.
