Bamboo Tai Chi Fan Description

The Bamboo Tai Chi Fan is a common sight in China and, especially on a hot day, you’ll see people with them everywhere. Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi has weapons that started of as everyday items and got slowly developed into training weapons. The fan is no exception and nowadays people across the world use these simple items to practice their chosen arts with.  

Bamboo is a common building material in China partly due to it’s abundance but also because of it strength to weight ratio. It’s equal to steel. This Bamboo Tai Chi Fan has ribs that are made entirely of bamboo with the end ribs being round to fit well with your hand and make it comfortable to hold. The material fixed to the ribs is a nylon / polyester. When closed it can make a hard baton like implement and open a perfect fan. It also comes with a silk style satin case to hold it in. 

The red nylon material is attached to red painted ribs giving a total red look. The fan is lightweight so very easy to use and move around for your forms and practice. Great for all Tai Chi practice but will also suit all styles of Chinese Kung Fu that use them.

Advice from the shop on your Bamboo Tai Chi Fan

“Those looking for a natural material for the fan will be sorely disappointed, they all come with a nylon / polyester covering. They are lightweight which is great for training, many try the Red Metal Tai Chi Fan if you want it to be a bit heavier.”

Doug Swift – Owner of Enso Martial Arts Shop
