What is the most common form of tai chi?

I want to go back to learning tai chi (it's been 2 decades) and I would like to learn the form that has the most representation in instruction, in terms of both schools and video tutorials.


Thanks.|||Yang style tai chi is the most popular style, with Yang 24 as the most popular entry level form. Someone you would want to YouTube is Sitan Chen (a.k.a. Tai Chi Prince). He specializes in Yang style and is also a very good instructor.|||Currently, among the many tai chi styles,the Yang and Chen family styles are well propagated and supported by video tutorials. There are three popular schools in the States, Yang, Chen and Wu and perhaps, 20 years ago, you might have learned the Yang style. In those days, its either the 48-steps or the long form, 108-steps. Good luck!|||A trendy form of Tai Chi now being practiced is "Wolverine Tai Chi." It is a form of Tai Chi based on the graceful movements of the Wolverine.|||Yang is the most popular style of Taijiquan. I personally refer Chen Style Taijiquan.


Its more important that u find a knowlegable instructor than a particular style.
