Tai Chi 24 Form with English titles inserted between postures; edited version of video copied from www.taiji.de. The performer is Gao Jiamin. According to Kungfu Magazine (July 2000 issue) she was born in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China June 26, 1966. At the time of the article she had "won 32 gold medals, a record that has never been achieved by any other competitor". She is (or was) a chief instructor at "US Wushu Center" in Portland, OR. The background music is "Simplified Tai Chi Chuan (24 Form)" from the CD "Tai Chi Melody" by the Shanghai Chinese Traditional Orchestra. The MP3 can be purchased from Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010ZOLA4/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=123...

  • The form needs to be connected into a flow to be meaningful.

  • Absolutely correct. However, the forms are called "42 form", "24 form", "8 form", etc., because each form consists of a number of conceptually distinct (and countable) movements. The purpose of this video is to help beginners distinguish the movements.

  • Luv this lady so much~

    I used to learn 42 forms also from her when I was doing my undergraduate degree in China=)

    She is awesome.

  • Do you know here name and where she is from? It would be nice to give her credit on this video.

  • Gao Jiamin is also the performer in Li Deyin's instructional DVD "42 Forms Tai Chi Quan" (ISBN: 7883068040).

    The 42 Form was created in 1989 by grandmaster Li De Yin (aka "Li Deyin") for the Chinese Sports Committee and was one of her instructors. I believe she is also a demonstrator of correct form in a 2003 International Wushu Federation (IWUF) rules video.

  • Thank you very much for the information. I'll post it with videos.
