Extinction?
Most taijiquan/tai chi for health exponents in the world have absolutely no idea what to do with the form movements.
For them, form is essentially a dance or 'moving yoga'.
This is a little sad.
The once great martial art (supreme ultimate fist) - considered the pinnacle of Chinese fighting systems - has been largely forgotten in modern times.
People have settled for less, and the Art is at risk of extinction.

1950's China
Faced with a major health crisis, the People's Republic of China turned to tai chi for a solution.
Just think about what that means...Tai chi's reputation for health was so well founded that the government of China thought to employ the Art officially as a means of improving wellbeing.
The Art was introduced to schools nationwide and taught to people of all ages.
