Tai Chi Chuan: The Yang Style Long Form
Price £24.95 BUY NOW from Amazon.co.uk
This is the whole 108-posture Yang Style Long Form on one DVD.
The introduction explains the basic principles.of Tai Chi.
The Form is then shown in two sections: from start to second close up and from second close up to finish. Each section is shown from the front and then from behind with subtitiles and verbal instructions.
The complete form is then shown from the front without interruption and variations of the form are explored.
This is the form originating from Yang Sao Chung, who did the form with the body inclined in his early days but in later life changed to the upright stance we see today, which is more in keeping with its roots in Chen style and is also seen in older versions of Yang Style.
A list of the movements and a free MP3 audio file of the vocal instructions of the form is available on our Tai Chi Forms page.
