Form List: Yang
Competition Form
The entire content has been lifted from James
Marshall's webpages, who in turn has copied his lists from other
sources. These sources are quoted in italics first, and then his
notes are included as they may be of interest.
Copied from Competition Routines for Four Styles Taijiquan,
translated by Xie Shoude, published by People's Sports Publishing
House.
This form is mainly based on Yang Chengfu's writings, but has some
minor modifications. The Pat Foot movement is new and the form's
difficulty is increaed for example in Kick with Heel and Kick to
Both Sides where the foot must be higher than the waist. The routine
is arranged with the practical needs of attack and defense in mind
while demonstrating the soft, flowing style characteristic of Yang
style tai chi.
