The Golden Flower Tai Chi School offers authentic tai chi from the Yang Family lineage taught in a way that is accessible to most people. The Golden Flower Tai Chi Form is a series of slow, flowing movements that express the fundamental principles of tai chi. It is derived from the three main interpretations of the Yang Tai Chi Form: the Short Form; the Traditional Long Form; and the Small Circle Long Form.
