1 - Simplified

The Simplified or 24 step Tai Chi form was created in the 1950’s to aid the newcomer to Tai Chi. The movements are mostly taken from the longer Yang form. It provides the beginner with a short set of movements to learn and practice. The gentle appearance of the Tai Chi form belies the leg strength needed to perform the movements properly, however learning this form both familiarises the student with the basic movements and gradually strengthens the legs.
