The Yang Family Tai Chi Kung Form or 10 Form was developed so that people new to tai chi could learn a form in a relatively short period of time. Such as a college semester or intensive multi-day seminar. It was first debuted at the International Tai Chi Chuan Symposium where all five families of tai chi taught a ten movement form of their style. The form sequence consists of movements that are fundamental to Yang Family Tai Chi. These movements focus on the main skills to understand the essence of Yang Family Tai Chi. Kung means skill and therefore, the form is called Tai Chi Kung (skills of tai chi).
When learning this form it is important to focus on the skills required to complete each movement more than learning a sequence of movements like one would do in a dance routine. All of the movements are directly out of the Traditional Long Form (103 Form). As with all modified or shortened forms you may notice different transitions between each movement in the sequence, but the movements themselves are the same. After learning this form you should have a good foundation of basic tai chi skills. These skills will help improve your balance, coordination, focus and relaxation to name just a few. Learning the movements in the Tai Chi Kung form will also be a great foundation for learning the other forms more quickly and you will be able build on the skills you learn in this form.
