This is not the square form. It's correct name is the Joint Form (關節拳). The precise movements are designed to excercise the joints.

Thanks for the comment. Your observation about joint exercise is true but one of the minor applications of Square Form.. The major application is to learn how to delineate the yin and yang parts of the body during tai chi movement.

I teach a similar square form to beginners, we also do it as a group with the more experienced practitioners so I can make corrections to posture and the individual movements. The whole class can all watch and learn from each correction. Thanks for posting this video it's nice to see and hear an explanation of the square form. I teach the Wudang as taught by Cheng Tin Hung, seems very similar.

dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance ....

am I the only one who see's the awesomeness?

[JianChuanTaiChi]

This form has similarities with Wu Kung Yi's square form (son of Wu Jian Quan). Perhaps GM Yang also trained with Wu Kung Yi while in Hong Kong?

I like what he says in his commentary.

If you are not doing a square form and tell your students that it is square, isn't that misleading? Should you do some research when you realize that what you've doing is not what you think it is?

If you've found out your mistake, do you want to hide it from your students?

[georgehsliew]

Bemusing and foisting are not the right term for my previous comments. I was only pointing out what form it was accordingly to my knowledge. And I subsequently said,"this is only my opinion."
