Entire TaiChi First Section Form
This single form series breaks the long form down into
three sections to make it easier to learn. Once you have
a good grasp on the single forms taught in Single Forms
101-112, Forms 113-122, and Forms 123-30, you are now ready
to pull them together in the first third of the long form.
Master Liao advises that our goal is to perform each section
of the long form as if it were still a single form. This
means the student should aim for smooth, continuous transitions
from one motion to the next, always concentrating on the
flow of energy from beginning to end.

TaiChi Single-Forms 203-213
Master Liao takes the viewer through forms that explore
the diagonal directions. Inward Holding Tiger, Outward
Holding Tiger, and Carry Tiger to Mountain, help the student
move energy in front of the tantien and to the side. Longtime
Taichi students will especially appreciate the chance
to review the proper coordination of Backward Steps and
Repulse Monkey.

TaiChi Single-Forms 214-225
These forms develop rooting, suspension and balance. One-legged
postures such as Golden Cock Stands on One Leg, and Kick
with Sole, combined with the coordination and stretch
of Snake Creeps Down, makes this one of the more challenging
videos. As always, the viewer is advised to accommodate
each form to his/her level of ability. Master Liao demonstrates
how to practice these single forms safely to help your
body gently stretch, strengthen and perform each posture
in a relaxed and confident manner.
