54 Step Competition Form of Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan

The 54 step form was curated by Master Wu Kwong Yu and his Uncle Master Wu Tai Hsin between 2000 an 2002 to provide a common platform for judging in Tai Chi Forms competitions. It is meant to be performed as a continuous, circular set of larger frame forms, i.e. larger than the standard 108 movements. The recommended time for The 54 Form is between 5 and 6 minutes.
