A new standard short form in China
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2022 3:36 am
Apparently this is the new standard first form of taiji taught in China.
I've looked at the research. Using computer modelling and groups of people they compared things like hip and ankle flexion, weight loading, total impact of the exercise etc. and found that minute for minute it was the same or better than the 24.
I kinda like it, for beginners anyways. Then there still needs to be a bridge form to the long form -- maybe something like the 24 but a bit longer since we have this form now. Any thoughts?

Apparently one of the reasons it was developed or had become popular is because of confinement due to covid-19.
