the ruler created specifically for taichido.com to accompany its
'Tai Chi Ruler' DVD can also be bought separately.

The Ruler is hand crafted by Mr. Robin Lacey. Robin works in The Bere Forest in Hampshire U.K. He helps care for that environment and also lectures on Wood Craft and Forestry. So that it may allow the flow of Chi through it, a Tai Chi Ruler should always be made from wood. We consulted with Robin at length on this issue and he explained that 'hard woods' are those that allow more nutrients to pass through the grain of the tree, and so in theory chi energy can be passed more readily in the same way. We therefore chose to use only woods such as Mahogany or birch as our raw material, taken only from naturally fallen trees.
