What is a long form of tai chi?
Tai Chi Chuan, more often known as Tai Chi, is a form of martial arts that came from Chinese culture. There are many Tai Chi styles, each of which consists of a different combination of Taje Movements, Tai Chi forms, Program Length and Targeted Bond. The long form of Tai Chi consists of a total of 103 individual positions, which is significantly higher than most forms derived from other styles. Depending on how the attitudes are grouped together, some Tai Chi instructors will describe a long form that has from 85 to 150 positions, but 103 is the most widespread number.
There are five basic classes of Tai Chi, each of which has named a family that helped create and influence their development. Of the five, Yang's family style is the most commonly practiced style, especially in western cultures. The Yang family was also known for the development of a long Tai Chi form.
The long form of Tai Chi is considered one of the most advantageous forms, including the largest number and diversityST positions tai chi. Beginning practicing long Tai Chi forms will learn basic forms gradually. More flowing movements that most people are familiar with are designed to support health and relaxation. The long Tai Chi form emphasizes controlled breathing techniques, balance and mental focus.
Every form of Tai Chi has a specific name that often describes the movements it includes. Some of the eloquently named from 103 forms in long Tai Chi are "Grasping The Bird's Tail", "White Crane spread his wings" and "saying good out the mane of the wild horse". Other forms are slightly less creative in name and rely more on the exact descriptions of the movements themselves. These include kicks on the heel, separation kicks and "fist under the elbow".
There is a specific order in which movements are performed in a long form of Taichi that allows practical easy movement from one position to secondu. After the practitioner has managed all the steps, it gradually increases the speed at which the movements are performed. The 103 Tai Chi series should take an average user just below 30 minutes. This is significantly longer than five minutes that usually lasts for a short form of Tai Chi, but many people believe that it is a more intense series of movements focusing on specific areas of the body that could otherwise be overlooked in other styles.
