The Yang 24 delivers excellent health benefits for the masses.

Because of its official support, the Tai Chi Yang 24 is the most well known set of Tai Chi Form in the world.

The Yang 24 Tai Chi Form it only takes 10 minutes to complete. In this short duration, Yang 24 promotes

  • flowing circulation,
  • full body balance,

The first set of Tai Chi that I learned from Sifu Chin was the Yang 108. We were required to go through slowly, taking us 45 - 60 minutes to do one set.

Later, in Texas, I practiced they Yang 24 and others health styles, within a Chinese Community in Houston, as I developed a friendship with Lian Ping Zhang 

The Yang 24 provides a gentler, milder opportunity to learn health style Tai Chi and Chi Kung.
