A heavy spear is often used to practice the techniques, forms and spear sticking exercises in order to develop a very useful kind of physical strength.
Power and strength from heavy spear training focuses on shoulder developmental, core strength and control, back and also the grip.
Below we can see a spear form demonstration by a Wudang Tai Chi practitioner in Hong Kong.
When practiced continually and with expressions of power not only is refined and focussed power emission developed but anaerobic fitness is also built. This is particularly true if we do several rounds of spear form.
Spear applications are very practical and direct and can be applied with objects such as umbrellas.
