TC: Form – Endless River, Section 3

The end section of the Endless River form, from Grandmaster Brian Jones’ Integrated Kun Tao Tai Chi Chuan system. A good portion of the movements are repeated from the first section, so we have only included videos of the new moves here (ie. the ones you haven’t already learnt).

Traditionally you start with the Form on the right side, and then when you have finished you start again from the beginning on the left side to do the mirrored version.
