taichi 24 posture names
In spite of the fact that the Beijing taichi 24 form is both modern and a standard competition form, you will find variations in both the names of the postures and the way some of the moves are grouped together.
You may even find that the form is split into beginner and advanced - as far as I know this is linked to tai chi belts and grading.
