Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan - beginners

Tools - Tai Chi ruler - comments on origins

The tai chi ruler and a sai (Japanese; 'gen' in Chinese). Now we have a serious problem - the sai

is not very useful at countering attacks if the three tips are aligned perpendicular to the line of your

hips. The sai is best (if that is good enough) when the three tips are parallel to the line of your hips.

I believe the handle is also incorrectly engineered.
