09.01.2022 Beijing 24 In 1956 the China Sports Committee gathered several Tai Chi experts together to create a short version of Tai Chi (based on Yang Style). This short version was mainly designed for beginners, as it is easier to learn than the original, long version. As the new short form consisted of 24 representative moves from the Yang style, and was created in Beijing, it has become widely known as the Beijing 24 Form or the Condensed or Simplified 24 Form. Although it has been s...implified by reducing the repetition of movements and some of the more difficult kicks contained in the 108 Long Form, the important and traditional characteristics and features of the Yang Style as well as the essential principles of Tai Chi remain. This new short form was developed to progress logically and gradually from the easy to the difficult. Less physically demanding than longer forms and other styles, the Beijing 24 Form appeals to students of various ages in different physical conditions because it is easy to learn, practice and remember. The Beijing 24 Form and takes between 4 and 7 minutes to complete depending on how fast or slow you like to practice the whole form. The Beijing 24 Form enables beginners, old and young, to concentrate on, and appreciate, the essential principles of Tai Chi - the gentle movement, relaxation and awareness of the mind and body as one. It provides a good introduction to the basic elements of the Yang Style Long Form and when done properly, the short form can exemplify grace, beauty, and many fundamentals of the art. For these reasons, Beijing 24 form is now the most popular tai chi form with millions of people throughout the world practicing it every day. No matter where you travel in the world, you will be able to find other Tai Chi practitioners familiar with the Beijing 24.

03.01.2022 In the beginning of learning Shaolin Boxing, you must perform each technique, in every bending and extending, with sincerity. Gradually progress from slow to fast, from fast to snappy, from snappy to spiritual. The process is similar to practicing calligraphy, in which you progress from a standard script to a more flowing script to a fully cursive script and finally to an innocent naturalness. Before the brush draws a stroke, the mind has already made the word. Before the fist arrives, the intention has already hit the target. Therefore be able to separate and engage, to connect and disconnect, stopping and starting, starting and stopping. Practitioners who are experienced and skillful simply adapt to the situation as they please.
