The Eight Techniques Medium Frame Solo Form developed from Master Vincent Chu's
20 years of teaching seniors. The routine he taught in his first seniors course was
the 22 Techniques Tai Chi Chuan Medium Frame Solo Form abbreviated from the traditional
Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. It was too much for the nine week course so he reduced it to
15 Techniques. Due to the nature and composition of the student body, he divided the class
time in half. One half focused on the 15 Techniques Solo Form and the other half on the
exercises from the Tai Chi Kung. This ensured the students had a good workout after
each class.
After some time, he realized that the students did not spend enough time practicing at home due to
the length of the routine, so it was necessary to make the routine even shorter. Shortening the
routine would allow the students to be able to spend more time practicing the movements rather
than learning and remembering them in class. After all, the benefit from practicing Tai Chi Chuan
is derived from practice, not from learning and remembering. Therefore, he decided to reduce the
15 Techniques Tai Chi Chuan solo form by keeping the first eight movements. It included the
beginning and ending movements.
