38 Chen Tai Chi form is one of the most popular form for training.
This was the first condensed form of 108 Movement form of Chen Tai Chi. At a good pace, the 38 Chen Tai Chi form should finish in 20 minutes instead of 50 minutes with the 108 Movement form which allows a practitioner to train properly in a fast paced world with limited time for training.
Later condensed forms such as 18 or 9 Movement exist but they are pointless and is used by masters for money making.
