A beginner only learns one form: the Yang
Cheng Fu slow form.
It takes 10 belts worth of practice to achieve a
reasonable reproduction of the form.
But it is still riddled with faults.
The 6 experienced belts teach one new form per
belt, along with a wide range of additional
material.
These new forms draw principles and postures from the initial form and enrich
the practice.
In terms of the Yang Cheng Fu form, the intermediate focus is primarily upon
understanding the meaning of the postures.
The student must apply every posture martially.
