The traditional Yang style tai-chi chuan slow form is commonly referred to as the 'long form' or 108 form. It was originally derived from the Chen style tai-chi 'lao jia yi lu' form and while there is some common names to the postures, it is clearly very different. There are many branches of the Yang style family tree but the most common is that which has been passed down from Yang Cheng-Fu as this one.
