Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan - beginners
Tools - Tai Chi ruler - comments on origins
For the tai chi ruler and tai chi bang and weapons like the staff, the area where the hands grip
does not have to signal any preferred orientation to the hands because the rest of the weapon
is not very concerned with direction. As can be seen in the image holding a blond rattan stick
(baton), it does not matter much where on the stick I grip, nor does it matter what angle the stick has
been rotated to.
