24 form Taijiquan at SASS - Part 2

This 1.5 hour class at St. Andrews, St. Stephens Presbyterian Church (SASS), is in-person class only.

This class is unique in that it will be comprised of a mix of long-time students (called Level 2 Beginners and Intermediates) practicing alongside Level 1 Beginners.

Since we are teaching Part 2 of the 24 form, new students must already have the basics of tai chi plus some knowledge of Part 1 of the 24 form. 

Newbies can sign up for the April 2022 session. The information can now be found in our New! SPRING section of our website. Registration will be available starting March 6th. Check out what is available. 

Part 1 has already been taught during the September-December 2021. Part 2 of the 24 form is being taught in this January 2022-March 2022 session. Students who wish to join Part 2 should have some experience in Tai Chi.

More Information About 24 Form

This is the most popular beginner Yang-style form in the world of Taijiquan today. During this class we will review the basics of each of the 24 movements. Once learned the form can take anywhere from 4 minutes to 20 minutes to perform, depending on your speed. By the end of this class you will be able to join the millions of people who enjoy this lovely form.

Tai Chi is learned as a series of movements. By mastering several movements in combination you will have learned a tai chi “form” or set. The easiest forms to learn, and the best for Newbies, are the short forms which are usually comprised of 14 – 24 movements in length.

Level 2 Beginners and Intermediates benefit greatly by revisiting a form they once learned and repeating the learning process. Every class you will learn something new about your mind-body coordination, focus, and flow.

Those who have already learned the 24 Form will gain self-awareness by reviewing the movements in more detail. You will learn how to increase our Qi flow with each movement and can focus on intentions such as breathing, body posture, and depth of form. Those experienced in the 24 form students will be given weekly intentions to practice.

Tai chi can improve both lower-body strength and upper-body strength.Tai chi strengthens both the lower and upper extremities as well as the core muscles of the back and abdomen. Tai chi can boost upper and lower-body flexibility as well as strength. Learning the 24 Form will introduce you to “what is tai chi” in the best possible way.

Learning 24 Form is an excellent alternative or addition to jogging or aerobics and for those with limited time or health for exercise.
