The hallmarks of Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan (Taiji Quan) are variation in speed, alternating soft and explosive movements, and a kind of spiraling movement known as Chansi jin (silk reeling energy). Emphasizing lower stances and a more energetic performance, Chen Style has forms suited for both beginning and advanced practitioners.

For advanced students, the Hunyuan Taiji 48 Form is twice as long as the 24 Form, with the moving-step Tai Chi Regular 24 Form comprising roughly the first half of the 48 Form, with important variations. The 48 Form both requires and develops greater coordination throughout the body, including kicks and spins that are not present in the intermediate Tai Chi Form (the Taiji 24 Form).

Prerequisite: Intermediate Tai Chi (Hunyuan Taiji Regular 24 Form)
