Greetings!
Here is a demo for the grip of a Tai Ji sword with a three inch POB. The grip may be done with all the fingers to wrap around the handle of the sword. The design of the sword is for slow movements. Thus the practitioner does not have to fight with the weight of the sword. BTW I had ordered a sword exactly like it from China. It is much easier to handle than the traditional one. Of course, I had practiced with the traditional sword(6" POB) once awhile to appreciate the lighter one.
