Yang Family Tai Chi: Long Form


The Yang Family Long Form is one of the most important parts of a Tai Chi practitioner's core practice. It allows the practitioner to use their Tai Chi Principles in a variety of positions for an extended period of time.

There are three basic versions of this form the large frame, medium frame and the small frame. A practitioner starts by learning the larger frame, to learn how to expand the energy to the limbs; they later may learn the medium and small frame, after having mastered the large frame.
