Another performance of the Yang ‘Beijing’ 24 Form, but this time the video shows the routine from 2 angles, using a split-screen display. The woman demonstrating gives a very subtle, compact and soft performance that is somewhat akin to performances of the Cheng man Ching 37 form. A good reference for beginners to the form that need to learn the moves in detail before adding more nuance and depth.
