Yang Form - 24 Postures Simplified Form
 The
24 posture Simplified Form of tai chi chuan, sometimes called
the Beijing form for its place of origin, is a short version
of Yang style tai chi composed of twenty-four unique movements.
The form was the result of an effort by the Chinese Sports Committee
which, in 1956, brought together four tai chi teachers - Chu Guiting,
Cai Longyun, Fu Zhongwen and Zhang Yu - to create a simplified form
of tai chi as exercise for the masses. The creators truncated the
traditional Yang family hand form to 24 postures; taking between four
and eight minutes to perform and to give the beginner an introduction
to the essential elements of tai chi chuan, yet retain the traditional
flavour of Yang style's longer hand forms (generally 88-108 postures).
