This is the 4th video in a series where I explain the basics of Tai Chi Straight Sword (Taijijian) training. In this video I discuss the main purpose for holding the Sword Fingers hand posture with your empty hand while practicing Tai Chi Straight Sword forms. There are a lot of different beliefs out there about why the Sword Fingers hand posture exists and several of those are discussed in this video also.
