Five Section Tai Chi Short Form


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.
