Welcome to Tai Chi Day - The Wodlands
This year’s topic is the 42 Form, aka the competition form. Designed in 1989 by Professor Men Hui Feng and Li De Yin. It combines Chen, Yang, Wu and Sun tai chi styles. It emphasizes the fundamentals and incorporates modern science to provide a psychologically sound exercise that is balanced and health oriented.
