Taichi for your well-being: Taichi 32-form
Taichi (or Taijiquan) is a traditional Chinese martial art practiced for its self-defence and health benefits. Taichi-32 (or 32-posture Taichi) is a medium-level Taichi sequence that is suitable for beginners. Taichi-32 is mainly based on the Yang-style Taichi but it includes also the essential elements of other Taichi styles. It is a widely practiced Taichi sequence.
