T'ai Chi is Nature, Across Styles, by Paul Lam

Paul Lam

In his video Yang Style T'ai Chi 40 Forms, Paul Lam gives a brief demonstration of different styles:

• Chen.  The oldest style, complex and vigorous movements.
• Sun.  Higher stances, smaller steps.  Contains unique, powerful Qigong elements.
• Yang.  Most popular, created by Yang Luchan.  Gentle, graceful and expansive movements.      

Lam encourages us not to rush the study and practice of T'ai Chi.  It is, after all, nature.  This is how I learned it, and this is the attitude I adopted: Practice one movement a week, and be sure to master it as best as possible.
