Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei and Grandmaster Kongjie Gou. The Tai Chi 11 is a simplified
form based on authentic Chen Style Tai Chi Old Frame or Laojia and holds true to all the
principles and philosophy of this the original form of Tai Chi. The Tai Chi 11 is short,
easy to follow, and easy to learn making it excellent for beginners and people who have
limited time. Yet despite its simplicity the form does not compromise any of the principles
that have made the practice of Tai Chi famous throughout the world.
