The Yang 24 Form is one of the most popular Tai Chi forms. Yang is the most appropriate Tai Chi style for beginners, although some of the forms in the 24 can be physically challenging. Snake creeps down, a deep squat then reverse in direction, and Heel Kick, a high, slow kicking movement, can require many years to master, although these forms can be modified for someone with less balance and flexibility than a Tai Chi master.
Tai Chi Yang/Chen 12 Form, part 1
Two videos of this form are presented--one individual and one with a student. Both front and rear views of this performance are included in these videos.
Developed by Grandmaster Yong So, this form aims to mitigate some of the challenges that Tai Chi presents to students with physical limitations, such as arthritis. This short form eschews some of the most demanding forms, such as Heel Kick and Snake Creeps Down in favor of forms that require skill and balance, but not exceptional flexibility. The biggest challenge to overcome in this form is that it changes direction twice (front to rear to front) during the performance.

Tai Chi Chen 36 form
Chen style Tai Chi has more in common with Kung Fu than does Yang style Tai Chi. The Chen style features a more energetic performance, involving slow and fast, passive and aggressive movements punctuated by short pauses and explosive startups. This style is more appropriate for intermediate and advanced Tai Chi students, who possess the speed and flexibility to perform fast movements and leaps. This form is performed by Grandmaster Yong So.
Kung Fu Fan form
This video is the Editors Choice of Master So’s Tai Chi DVD. It combines the energetic martial arts movements of Kung Fu with the beautiful flowing brandishing of the fan. As such it embodies the dual concepts of Kung Fu as a martial art and as an art form. This form is performed with a plastic and silk fan, although regulation Kung Fu fans are weapons made with metal blades and sharp points on the spines.
Kung Fu - Dragon Long Fist 7 Star
The Dragon Long Fist 7 Star is typically performed when a student is testing for the Kung Fu Black Belt. It demands speed, flexibility and balance, and its performance is enhanced by a certain amount of grace in movement. As such, it can be viewed as an art form as well as a martial art. In this video, Grandmaster and 10th-Dan Black Belt Yong So overcomes the challenge of performing on the mats laid down for Hapkido classes in this Monterrey, Mexico studio.
