15 Children Form

This Form is especially created in order to teach the children the principles of movement of Tai Chi Chuan. Special care is taken so that the Form attracts the children’s interest and does not tire them. Tai Chi Chuan is an ideal system of exercise for children, because it respects their soft body. Not only it exercises their body in a correct, balanced way, but it cultivates their sensitive personality. Tai Chi teaches children to love their body, to practice self-observation, to cooperate with nature and to abandon antagonism. The myth that holds that Tai Chi Chuan is suitable only for adults must be vitiated – it is absolutely incorrect. We have been teaching Tai Chi Chuan to children since many years, and we know that the only thing it takes them to love it totally, is to learn it in a way that is agreeable with their nature. And this training must be free from stereotypes, which are anyway wrong.
