Significantly different from other fan forms, this is not a dancing-type stage show. All moves are practical, useful techniques for self-healing and self-defense, based on traditional Yang Style Tai Chi for ease of learning and recall. Combined with the fan's openings and closings, one practices stress release and energy circulation. It also emphasizes self-defense as each move has clear martial meaning. The closed fan can be a baton to deflect, strike, stab, or bludgeon an opponent. The open fan can be used to shield, distract, or even cut because traditionally, the ribs of the fan would have sharpened points.
