Yang style t’ai-chi ch’uan has been shown to improve balance and be excellent for stress reduction.

This video contains the complete 28 movement symmetrical Yang style form, Section One of the Symmetrical Yang Style. This is the first section of the Tchoung-Yang Long Form. This DVD was designed specifically for NWTCCA students to be used as a class review.

This video will review the first ten movements and then go into the last 18 movements of the form. It will include some adaptations of the movements for students who have orthopedic problems.

Basic concepts are explored in detail as well as methods to adapt problem movements for at risk students.

This video is the second in a series and assumes the student understands all the exercises and movements taught in Volume One. It was designed for NWTCCA beginning students and is ideal for the beginning students to review material they learned in class. It also will be of interest to students and teachers of other styles who may learn exercises to supplement their training program.

This style is called the symmetrical form of the Old Version of Yang Style. It includes concepts and movements that are unique to this version of Yang style.

It is recommended that students take classes with certified instructors, as DVDs are not recommended for self-study. But rather are useful for class review.

All students should clear this exercise program with their physician. Do not do any exercises that you know will cause you pain. Do only the exercises that are appropriate for you. There should be no pain or discomfort in any of the exercises shown.
