There’s a saying :

“If you practice Simplified Tai Chi, you have millions of friends around the world!”

 Why?

The Simplified Tai Chi 24 Form is the most popular martial art exercise form in the world!  In 1956, Master Li Tianji created the Simplified 24 Step Tai Chi Form from the traditional Yang Family Style Long Form, by deleting repetitive movements and designing the sequence of steps to progress from the most simple steps in the first two sections, to gradually progressing through more intermediate level movements in the third section, then culminating into the more challenging combinations in the  final fourth and fifth sections.

These 24 postures only take about six minutes to perform, yet give beginners an introduction to the essential elements of the art of Tai Chi, while retaining the traditional flavor and benefits of the Traditional Yang Family Long Form. 

Simplified Tai Chi has opened up millions of people’s eyes to what had previously only belonged only to a very small, specialized group of martial art athletes.
