In this mini-video, Master Chen Zhonghua teaches the negative circle with a sword. This is a basic sword foundational exercise. It is in total congruence with the negative circle of the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method foundations.
Doing the negative circle with a sword further extends the arm. This in turn helps to show the rules of movement of taijiquan. When done incorrectly, for example, the the hand leading the way back, you will cut yourself with the sword.
