ABOUT YANG STYLE TAI CHI, Simplified 24-Form
?In 1956, the Chinese Sports Committee recognized the need to provide exercise for the physical and mental well-being of the general population of factory and office workers in a modern industrial state. The Committee assembled a team of four Taiji instructors who were given the task of developing an effective, yet easy-to-learn exercise routine.
?They created Simplified 24-Form Yang Style Taiji, a routine that takes about six minutes to perform, is easy and quick to learn, and has the desired health benefits. It is based on the Yang Style Long Form which has 108 moves, and despite being distilled down to only 24 moves, practitioners experience the essential elements and traditional flavour of Taijiquan.
?Actively promoted by the People's Republic of China as a general health exercise since the 1950s, Simplified 24-Form Yang Style Taiji is today's most widely practiced Taiji both in China and throughout the world.
