Simplified 42 Forms Tai Chi Chuan Video

Here is Simplified 42 Forms Tai Chi Chuan Video page

In 1980, the Chinese Sports Committee standardized competition Forms. It had chosen the five major styles and combined Forms. These five sets of Forms were created by different teams of experts, and later approved by a committee of Tai Chi experts in China. All sets of Forms thus created were named after their style, e.g., the Chen Style National Competition Forms is the 56 Forms, and so on. The combined Forms are The 42 Forms or simply the Competition Forms, as it is known in China. Since the creation of these Forms, they become the essential and most sought-after sets for competitions. The Chinese Sports Authority has made books and videos for these Forms.

In 1990, the 11th Asian Games were held in Beijing, China. For the first time in the history of the Asian Games, Wushu (martial arts) was included as an item for competition. The 42 Forms is the only Forms being chosen to represent Tai Chi. This set will be the official Form in the year 2008 Olympics Games. This form is based on all four Tai Chi styles. Prior to Asian Games separate forms were developed in all the different styles. Competitions are still held in Asia using these various forms however only the 42 movements Tai Chi is used in the major international competitions. A very brief description of The 42 Forms is that it is a condensed version of The 48 Forms, and is based mainly on The 48 Forms. One of the main differences is that where are three repetitions in The 48 Forms, The 42 Forms has only two repetitions. In October 1990, the 11th Asian Games were held in Beijing, China. For the first time in the history of the Asian Games, Wu shu (martial arts) was included as an item for competition.

Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan
Exhibition and Competition Form
(49 Postures) Introduction
by Master Yang Jun

In 1986 in order to adapt to the changing needs of society, my grandfather, Yang Zhendou, based on his experience gained from practicing Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan for many years, arranged the 49-posture exhibition and competition form. The new form did not deviate from the postures or characteristic style of the Traditional Form, but only deleted many of the repeated moves, slightly rearranged the sequence and changed a small number of transitions. Generally, the form takes about 12 minutes to perform, but when used in competition, the form must be performed in 7-8 minutes.

Although the 49-posture exhibition and competition form differs somewhat from the Traditional Form, it is not a simplified form. The 49 Form includes all of the postures in the Traditional Form, not giving up any of its moves. The 49 Form radiates with the splendor of traditional Chinese culture.

(Note: A 49 Form Competition video performed and taught by Master Yang Jun is available in the Tai Chi Products section for details.)
