The Five Section Short form, created by my teacher, Sam Masich, is an excellent form to learn for many reasons. Here are a few:
It is a great point of entry for those new to Tai Chi. The movements are fewer and easier to learn.
It takes far less time to learn this form than the traditional long form, less time to practice, and less space is needed for practice.
The Five Section form easily lends itself to practice in both left and right directions offering a balanced and satisfying practice session.
It is an excellent form with which to study deeper fundamental principles and then carry that learning into the traditional form.
For more advanced students, it serves as a way into more free form practice of Tai Chi movements and principles.
