Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 4: Single Whip

This fourth video of our Yang Tai Chi 108 Form instruction series takes us into a new move of the form called "Single Whip." This posture shows up multiple times throughout the form, so be sure to spend time really getting it down this time. It will pay off down the road.

I hope this video helps you in your training. :)

Tai Chi Compass Wall Hanging

Traditionally cardinal directions are used to teach Tai Chi forms. It helps students understand which way to turn when moving from one movement to the next. Most forms start "facing south". Although, it is not important to face actual south, hanging this piece on a wall in your training area will help orient you. Always start your form facing this piece. If you step to the left, you have stepped East. If you then step forward, you have stepped South. If you turn right, you have turned toward the West. That is the footwork for the beginning of the Yang Style 103 Form. Using the cardinal directions makes instructions easier to follow, which makes this piece ideal for practicing Tai Chi or learning Tai Chi via distance-learning technology.
