MORE ABOUT THIS CLASS – THE 27 FORM Yang Style Form

The 27 form is not just a graceful, structured introduction to traditional Tai Chi, but long-timers will enjoy this short form that has many of its movements reminiscent of the 108 tai chi form.

The Yang Style 27-Form, also known as the New Compulsory Routine, is a beautifully composed short form that offers clear structure, traditional energy, and flowing transitions. With 27 movements drawn from classical Yang-style Tai Chi, this form is suitable for all levels — including complete beginners.

While often mistaken as a follow-up to the 24-Form, the 27-Form is actually quite different: its legwork and transitions are rooted in traditional Tai Chi walking versus the more contemporary 24 form “style.” Movements such as “Ward-Off”, “Rollback” or the infamous “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” are performed differently. Students will find themselves comparing the two, experiencing new yet familiar flowing movements, and enjoying the new journey into rootedness and whole-body integration.

Though still new to many schools, the 27-Form is gaining traction in international Wushu and Tai Chi circles as a modern, structured way to learn authentic Yang-style principles — in a short, accessible sequence.
