This is a short documentary on Tai Chi Sword or Taiji Jian 太极剑 as practiced in the Wudang Mountains and taught by Master Yuan Xiu Gang.
We see some definition of the style and it's characteristics, fighting applications, combat strategy and some philosophy and training techniques.
An emphasis on the use of softness to overcome hardness is demonstrated.
I've translated the audio and added subtitles. They may not be perfect, but should give you a fairly accurate understanding of the dialogue.
This is an amazing view into the life and practice in the Wudang Mountains in China.
