48 Form Taijiquan

In 1976, the 48 form sequence was compiled by the Chinese National Athletic Association. This form includes postures from the Yang, Chen, Wu, and Sun styles of Taijiquan but all postures have been modified and are performed with the characteristic “flavour” of the Yang Style.

The 48 form is very popular because the movements ebb and flow between even paced, fast, slow, high and low stances, smooth or with fajin (power emission).

For the January – March session, unless you already know Part 1 of the 48 form Taijiquan form, it would be challenging for newbies to join in. It is important to always start a tai chi class as close to the beginning of the session as possible.

More Information About 48 Form

Many of the movements are practiced both to the left and to the right, which means the brain is getting a great workout with the rest of the body. Students will learn the footwork patterns and postures from four different styles: Yang, Chen, Wu and Sun. Students will learn rootedness, staying balanced, body posture, relaxation, qi flow, and how to perform these movements in a lively and graceful manner.

Once you have learned the whole form it takes about 10 minutes to practice. It has a beautiful choreography. It enhances and stimulates your mind, body and spirit in a holistic way.
