In the tai chi track of 44 the presenters say the moves are based off of a sword dance. Does anyone know the history behind the sword dance where they got the moves from??

it dosen't matter if your old enough, as long as your good enough

I don’t know where the moves came from for the Tai Chi track in 44 but there are several examples of Chinese/Tai Chi Sword dance forms on the internet.  Some say the different Sword dances were a way of maintaining a military vigilance during peaceful times in China.  As for history they were mentioned in literature during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) but probably started during the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD).

I have also seen sword dances before... a long time ago.

It's a form of martial art, but not necessarily "tai chi"

Kinda like that all cognacs are brandy, but not all brandies are cognac...

You are awesome.

I think the dance inspired from 44 is more Middle Eastern flavored...looks and feels that way

"This is my body and I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it, study it, tweak it, listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on... What am I on!?! I'm on my bike, busting my ass 6 hours a day. What are you on???"
