    This video is great. I watch it all the time to get better at my forms. I love the music that go along with it. Want to buy the music CD so I can practice with it but I don’t know what it’s called. Does anyone know what the name so I can buy it?

    all taiji forms have value for qi development! However all development is dependant on ones intention, motivation and having a mentor to guide such development…

    YeLL04YeLLow, I practice Chen style, and my teacher actually advised me to learn the 42 part form to help with chi development! It is excellent for this purpose. All the movements are taken from Yang, Chen, Wu and Sun TaiJi.

    as far as I know the 42 form has been created in 1989 by chinese taiji masters as an advanced competition form. It has elements of the old Yang style as well as Chen style in it and some Sun and Wu. Many movements are from the 48 form. I’ve learned it just now – its amazing. And YeLL04YeLLow: If you do taiji what form soever – if you do it well and concentrate of course you do develop Qi – no matter if you perform in public or do it in your garden.

    I don’t play 42, but I can see that the movements are just broken down from the 108 perhaps, I don’t know if they train the chi-kung aspect or the martial, that would make a big difference, but her flow is very nice.
