This simplified tai chi form was created in 1956 by the National Physical
Culture and Sports Commission of the People's Republic of China as part of
the drive to document and standardise Wushu training and introduce competition
forms.
The Beijing 24 is aimed at the beginner and uses 24 representative moves from
the Yang style. Although it has been simplified by reducing the repetition
of moves and some of the more difficult kicks it contains the important and
traditional characteristics and features of Yang style forms.
The short form enables beginners, old and young, to concentrate on, and appreciate, the essential principles of Tai Chi of effortless movement, relaxation and awareness of the mind and body as one.
Depending on how fast or slow you like to do your form the whole form takes between 4 and 8 minutes to do.
It is said to be the most popular tai chi form practiced today. And because of this you will be able to find lots of books, dvds and classes for you to enjoy.
