Good choice for a Tai Chi Class

Posted by Western Illinois Martial Arts on Jan 23rd 2024

My students use both the bamboo fans and the steel fans. Both perform well for Tai Chi Forms- Folding easily, and providing a satisfying snap upon opening. I’d recommend the bamboo fans for longer practice times, or if the practitioner is older, as the steel fans are heavier than you might expect and may tire the hands and palms. Although the steel fans give students a feel for being a true martial artist. You might want both.
