Tai Chi
The 42-form sword routine is a competition form in Tai Chi, combining key techniques from several major styles.
It is known by names such as “42 Movements Taiji Jian” or “Competition 42 Form Sword” for Wushu/Tai Chi sport events.
This set is more advanced than the beginner sword forms (e.g., 32-form) and emphasizes both technical precision and performance quality.
Practice Tips
Practice slowly at first, emphasizing smooth weight transfer and vertical balance.
Focus on structure → flow → spirit, not on speed or flourish.
