The traditional Tai Chi learning program consists of two parts: the Large Frame Form or Large Circle Form and the Small Circle or Small Frame Form.


The Large circle form uses extended arms and large step size to strengthen the lower body. It also introduces students to Tai Chi movements.


Small circle Tai Chi, one of its unique

attributes, takes full advantage of the most powerful part of the body namely the core of the body. So called internal power instead of the muscle power of the limbs. As such the movements are more compact, closer to the power source. For martial art applications, it's more effective and powerful.


Small Circle Tai Chi Form was reserved for selected students chosen to be important members of master’s martial art franchise. These were usually heirs to the franchise. 

This system faded out after firearms became available in China. The Tai Chi franchises lost their major income source- security protection services. The main mission is now in teaching and the martial arts’ health benefits. 

Small Circle Tai Chi is now seldom taught simply because it requires extra effort on the part of the teaching master when there are no video tools to help remember the details of the form. This is unfortunate because Small Circle Form gives most of the Tai Chi health benefits. 

This Form’s emphasis on internal movements and internal power allows you to achieve an old Tai Chi saying “Live Forever in the Spring Season of Your Life”.

The Forms stimulate the body’s internal organs, blood flow, lymphatic circulation and Qi.

Since Small Circle Tai Chi is not known to most people, I am using this course to give an overview of it.

This course now includes access to the WhatsApp Classical Tai Chi Group when you Enroll. This community will allow you to find others in the course to exchange experience and contact your instructor directly.
