The sword is very flexible, and the Qi must be developed in this period before one can use it to defend against a heavy long weapon. The sequence is divided into two parts which match each other, allowing the sequence to be used as a two person set.

It is said Taizu Chang Quan (Taizu Long Fist Sequence) was created by Emperor Taizu in the Song dynasty (960-976 A.D.). It is considered to be an advanced sequence in Long Fist, and it enhances the student's knowledge of Long Fist fighting techniques.

San Cai Dui Jian is a sword matching sequence. After you have learned San Cai Jian, you then practice matching the first and second parts together with a partner. This sequence teaches the basic applications of the sword.
