Red Tassel

Description

This authentic red tassel is designed for Taiji and Gongfu swords and will match any such swords in your collection.

Taiji and gongfu sword tassels are more than just decorative items; they play an integral role in the practice and performance of Chinese martial arts. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of the sword, aid in the development of technique and can even be used to distract and feint in combat.

Tassels can help practitioners develop better balance and control over their movements. The weight and movement of the tassel provide feedback on the fluidity and accuracy of the sword techniques. The presence of the tassel encourages practitioners to maintain smooth, flowing movements, which are essential in Taiji and Gongfu forms. Watching the tassel’s motion helps ensure that movements are continuous and coordinated.

Tassels are typically attached to a loop or hole in the pommel. If your sword doesn’t have a hole in the pommel, then the tassel is fastened around the handle base and the pommel will prevent the tassel from sliding off. Some practitioners use additional tape to secure the tassel firmly in place. In Chinese culture, tassels can symbolize various qualities such as honor, bravery, and the connection between the sword and the practitioner, and they are most commonly red.
