Fencing is an important part of Tai Ji Chuan, and it can also be said that it evolved from Tai Ji Chuan. It should not only have the characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan, but also keep the style of Taiji sword. Fencing is an extension of boxing. If there is no boxing foundation, you will get twice the result with half the effort from the beginning.
