The Round 34 Step Hand-Form
The Round 34 Step Hand-form follows the same sequence as the Square 34 Step Hand-form, it is the form within which you will learn to express your personality, whilst still adhering to the sound principles of good Tai Chi Chuan. Your personal form should remain recognisable, and adhere to the accepted conventions of Tai Chi Chuan, in the same way that your longhand script must adhere to the conventions of writing and grammar to be both legible and comprehensible. Some of your letters will resemble your block lettering more closely than others, just as some of your round-form movements will be almost the same as the square form (minus the stops) yet you will become able to express ideas, or intentions with greater ease through practice.
