HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Taiji Broadsword (Taiji Dao) is known for its vigorous, powerful movements, contrasting with the more delicate straight sword. In the Wu Style tradition, the broadsword routine embodies the 'Fluid Structure' and 'Explosive Power' (Fa-Jin) of the Northern lineage. Grandmaster Wang Peisheng (1919-2004) was a master of the broadsword, and this VCD represents his definitive teaching on the subject. Filmed in 1994, it captures the 'Traditional Wisdom' of a master who spent his life refining the 'Internal Method' (Neigong) of the Wu Style, ensuring that the martial essence and 'Adhere and Follow' principles of the broadsword are clearly communicated to future generations.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This VCD provides a comprehensive study of the Wu Style Taiji Broadsword. Master Wang begins with the basic methods and techniques of the broadsword—such as chopping, slashing, and blocking—establishing the foundation for the full routine. He then provides a detailed, step-by-step instruction of the sequence, focusing on the coordination between the weapon and the body's kinetic chain. A unique feature of this VCD is Wang’s thorough discussion of the martial applications for each movement. He provides valuable insight into how the broadsword is used in actual combat, emphasizing the use of the 'free hand' to maintain balance and facilitate grappling transitions.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The biomechanical focus of the Taiji Broadsword is on 'Centrifugal Force' and 'Rooted Power.' Master Wang explains how the weight of the broadsword is governed by the rotation of the waist and the stability of the legs. The instruction covers the 'Five Bows' alignment, ensuring that the practitioner can absorb and deliver impact without losing their center. Biomechanically, the broadsword requires a dynamic shift between 'Softness and Hardness,' where the 'Mind-Intent' (Yi) leads the heavy blade through complex arcs. Wang’s teaching ensures that the 'Internal Command' remains the source of all movement, preventing the practitioner from relying on 'Stiff Force' (Li).
LINEAGE AND MASTERY
Wang Peisheng was a 7th Dan Wushu master and one of the most influential experts of the 20th century. His ability to explain the martial logic of the broadsword makes this VCD an essential resource for any serious practitioner. This is part of the only instructional series he ever produced, offering a rare and authoritative look at the Wu Style Taiji Broadsword. Whether you are interested in the historical 'Technical Routine' or the practical 'Combat Applications,' this VCD provides the expert guidance needed to master this powerful weapon under the tutelage of a true legend of the internal arts.

Grandmaster Wang Peisheng
Grandmaster Wang Peisheng (1919–2004), also known by his courtesy name Yuebin (履宾), was one of the most influential and revered Chinese martial arts masters of the 20th century. He was a third-generation lineage holder of Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan and served as the President of the Beijing Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan Research Association.Famous for his profound martial applications and internal mechanics (Neigong), Wang played a pivotal role in modernizing, preserving, and popularizing Wu-style Tai Chi globally.1. Lineage & Martial Heritage Wang Peisheng's lineage traces directly back to the founders of Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan, establishing him as a highly authentic authority of the system:Founder: Wu Quanyou (吴全佑)2nd Generation: Yang Yuting (杨禹廷) — One of the "Great Three" masters of Beijing.3rd Generation: Wang Peisheng (王培生)Wang began his training under Yang Yuting at a very young age. Due to his exceptional talent and dedication, he mastered the complete curriculum of the Wu style, including the traditional long form, weapons (sword, sabre, spear), and push hands (Tui Shou). Throughout his life, he also mastered other internal styles such as Baguazhang (Yin Cheng lineage) and Xingyiquan, which deeply enriched his understanding of combat mechanics and explosive power (Fa Li).2. Core Contributions to Wu-style Tai Chi The 37-Posture Simplified Wu-style Form In 1953, to make Tai Chi more accessible to the public for health and combat practice without losing its core essence, Wang Peisheng condensed the traditional long form into the Northern Wu-style 37-Posture Simplified Tai Chi Chuan.Characteristics: This form retains the signature traits of Wu style—compact frames, parallel footwork, forward leaning while maintaining a straight spine (Chuan Zhang / Piercing Palm mechanics), and high therapeutic value.Impact: It became the standard teaching curriculum across northern China and eventually spread worldwide.Scientific and Psychological Approach to Internal Power Unlike traditional masters who taught purely through esoteric terms, Wang Peisheng was famous for explaining internal mechanics using a systematic, mind-body approach.Mind-Intent (Yi): He emphasized that internal energy (Qi) follows the mind's focus on specific anatomical points or joints.Combat Applications: He was highly respected in the martial arts community for his peerless Tui Shou (Push Hands) skills, demonstrating that even in old age, a smaller practitioner could effortlessly neutralize and neutralize heavy, aggressive attacks using structural alignment and absolute relaxation (Song).3.
