Telescopic Tai Chi Sword Description
Initial thoughts may lean towards this not being a very good sword to practice with. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised with this Telescopic Tai Chi Sword. It has pretty good balance and enough weight to give you a good feel in your hands. The beauty of this Telescopic Tai Chi Sword is that is a collapsible so you can carry it unnoticed in you bag or even just in your hand. This means you can get to class or training without lugging a full length sword around. When finished, with a quick nudge, it will fully collapse back to it’s packing size.
Made from a lightweight sprung steel, which collapses down neatly inside itself, It gives the sword a bit of weight when training, so you get some feedback during practice. The telescopic Tai Chi sword slides out effortlessly and grips very well when practicing your forms. The handle is made out of a tough plastic, so it is fairly durable. However, this is purely so solo practice and won't withstand any partner practice at all.
At full length the Telescopic Tai Chi Sword is extendable to 37 inches or 94 cm. and it is collapsible to 10.25 inches or 26 cm. It comes with an end cap to hold the sword in it’s collapsible position. A great design for someone who travels a lot or doesn't want to be seen carrying round a full length Tai Chi Straight sword. Good design and super useful.
Advice from the shop on Telescopic Tai Chi Sword
“These are slightly different to the ones in the video, the handle is plastic not metal because of this they are slightly cheaper too. Still very usable and durable“

Nothing at all to complain about. Perfect
If I have a slight reservation is that there is a hardly noticeable give in the sword when moving too quickly, however, this should not be an issue, it is a Tai chi sword after all.
