Tai Chi (Taiji) 24 Form - Beijing Yang-style - Valerymo CA, Mojave Desert

In this video Skee demonstrates the Taiji 24 form (otherwise known as the Beijing 24 Yang-style). This is the most widely recognized of all Taijiquan forms and is usually the one that you see people doing at the park or in massive crowds in China. The 24 form was first introduced in 1956 through the Chinese Sports Committee and was intended as a 'form for the masses'. It is a truncated version of the 108 form but features many of its most important postures and is intended as an introduction to Taijiquan for beginners. The form has come under a great deal of attack over the years (especially by Taiji purists) who regard it as an empty shell - all form with no spirit. One reason is the posture 'single whip' is performed on both sides while usually should be only performed on one. Whatever the case the Yang-style 24 is a beautiful, concise form and a transcendent, universal language with can be enjoyed by people of all cultures, religions and backgrounds. Both front and rear views are shown for those who want to follow along. ______________________ For more information about how you can learn and grow in your Tai Chi / Qigong practice come visit us at: http://www.skeegoedhart.com/tai-chi-q... website: www.skeegoedhart.com IG: goedharttherapies Music Credits: Leigh Spusta Root Chakra Resonance
