I was wondering if there was any store near by, where I can buy a practice Collapsible Tai Chi Sword. I live around San Jose, Winchester Huff Avenue. Is there any place near by where I can buy one? Like a Chinese, Viet, store etc. Do you think they even sell it at a flea market not the real one, but a practice one?|||Almost all Chinese martial arts supply web sites sell collapsible Tai Chi sword.
But my advice to you is not to waste your money because this kind of sword is really not suitable for practice. Here are the reasons:
1. It is collapsible like an antenna so the inside of the blade is hollow. This make the whole sword very light and out of balance. We practice weapon today because it help us work on our overall balance, focus and to build our wrist, arms, and shoulders. You get none of these if you use a hollow collapsible sword.
2. The workmanship and material of these kind of sword are very low quality. Years ago someone in our taichi class bought one and it felt apart when he tried to close it (push the blade back into the handle). This happened the first time he used it.
Get a good metal taichi sword with good balance and weight to practice, not this type of juke.
