杨式太极刀和太极剑一样，是由太极拳发展而来的，具有太极拳练习的一般特点和要求。但是，太极刀和太极剑也有区别，如“剑重轻灵，刀求稳重“，“刀如猛虎，剑似飞凤”，“刀走黑，剑走青”（即刚猛与轻灵之别）等说法。太极刀较为威猛，而太极剑更显潇洒，在手法和运用方面也有区别。如太极刀与太极拳、剑的运动，都是圈，而刀法运行的圈，“缠头过脑”为其突出特点。缠头刀，即手举过头，刀尖下垂，刀背从肩外贴脊背向身后缠绕。

过脑刀是举刀高过头，或转身，或转刀，使刀从头顶绕过，但刀背不贴脊背。缠头过脑，攻防兼备，配合腰功，能使出几倍于手臂的力量。

杨式太极刀的传授，其动作顺序都是用歌诀贯穿。歌诀；

太极刀诀;
七星跨虎交刀势，腾挪闪展意气扬，
左顾右盼两分张，白鹤展翅五行掌，
风卷荷花叶内藏，玉女穿梭八方势，
三星开合自主张，二起脚来打虎势，
披身斜挂鸳鸯脚，顺手推舟鞭作篙，
下势三合自由招，左右分水龙门跳，
卞和携石凤还巢。
