About this activity
The 48 Form is a beautiful and well-balanced routine, combining the 4 main styles of Tai Chi (Taijiquan): Yang, Chen, Wu, and Sun. The general flavour of the form is that of the Yang style, but is peppered with movements from the other styles. All of the movements of the 24 Form can be found in the 48, but the order is different. This form offers a little more complexity and technical challenge than the "simplified" form. Experience with the 24 Form is recommended, but not crucial. No class September 22 & 29.
