Demonstration of Tai Chi Eight Methods Five Steps 太極拳八法五步
#八法五步
Eight Methods, Five Steps: Bafa Wubu – China's New Taiji Standard.
The new simplified Tai Chi form has just emerged from the People's Republic of China. In recent decades, China has used simplified forms in order to promote Tai Chi, or Taiji (太極) as it is spelled in PRC-endorsed pinyin romanization.
These simplified Taiji forms are intended to be introductory; however, they can also stand on their own as a simple health practice for those who seek the benefits of Taiji but aren't looking to dedicate the time that the complete discipline requires.
The new form is Bafa Wubu (八法五步). This literally means "Eight Methods, Five Steps."
