Chi Sword
Chen Tai Chi Step guide?
Can anyone recommend a website that has the step by step play for the first 83 movements? As well are there any Tai Chi routines for the thin sword used for Tai Chi?
As well the movements are no problem with me.
If you are asking about the 83 movements, then you might be referring to the Chen Style known as Xin Jia, or new frame. If you are a new student to Chen Style I would recommend that you begin with Lao Jia or one of the many introductory forms that have been made. My website has a short video on the 13 section form.
www.chenstyletaijiquan.org
Many other instructors and even the Great Four (Chen Xiaowang, Chen Zhenglei, Zhu Tiancai, and Wang Xi'an) have their own versions of introductory forms. Outside of that you need to start with Lao Jia (Old Frame) as Xin Jia is more complicated. However if you are already a seasoned student, I would recommend searching the internet for videos by Chen Zhenglei or Chen Xiaowang. Other videos by Chen Yu, Chen Bing, Ren Guang Yi, and many others are also available and are very good. They are all different in one way or another, but look beyond the choreography and try to look for the source of movement. Please be advised, however, that it is of the utmost importance that you learn from a qualified instructor with a legitimate and verifiable lineage.
These websites might be of interest.

To answer your second question, yes Chen Style also has a form for the straight sword known as the "jian." Check out the curriculum page on my website and it will give you a comprehensive list of the forms in the Chen Style Taijiquan curriculum.
Good Luck!
