I love it. Your timing and the graceful movements for a "big person" is great!!! I enjoy your performance. I share this video with my students. I love the tibetan folk song music in the background. Western China folk song. Perfect for this kind of exercise. Glad to know that others have the same kind of taste of music. Thanks for posting it.
Right, I was going to say that with qishi and shoushi, it makes 10, but didn't want to confuse things. Quinshi00's comment is incorrect--this form is widely practiced all over China as the ba shi taijiquan.
Yes sure. But the name is not that important. This form has qishi(opening) + 8 movements + shoushi(closing), so that explains the confusion. A lot of forms try to come out on exactly a multiple of 8, sometimes this is only possible if you force the count a little bit.
I have just started Tai Chi and been working on the 8 form, i have been looking for something to help me practice during the summer break, this is a great memory jogger.
It is one of the formalised forms, part of modern Yangstyle. This is not a difficult form, but there are some technical points that have to be taken care of. Especially the repetitive turning over 180° is very important because it teaches you the correct weight distribution in your legs. This is very important if you want to progress to higher forms. The problem is that up till now the 24 form is considered to be the geginners form

I'm with marchey. This is called the ba shi taijiquan, the eight style taijiquan.

From my beginner's eye this was slow, balanced and beautiful.
I will try to learn it along with learning the 24-form.
