The Form List was created as a sort of Cheat Sheet to remember the postures. It was not intended that somebody could learn the postures through this document. However, the forms list can help a student remember the posture names, order, and some details. The Cheng Man-Ching 37 Postures Simplified Tai Chi Yang Style Form, as taught at Soft Answer Tai Chi, is divided into five sections.
Note: These Postures are not always counted the same by all teachers and students but all counts manage to end up with 37 postures. We cannot clear up any confusion on the ordering of the form but have tried to demonstrate ways in which the form has been counted differently in different publications.
