Wudang Taiji 28 Shi (Wudang Taiji 28 Movements) includes 28 groups of movement. This form is based on the original Wudang San Feng Taiji 108 Shi. Though Wudang Taiji 28 Shi seems like a long form, it was actually created as a shorter form of Wudang San Feng Taiji 108 Shi to make it easier for practitioners to remember.

This form as all Taiji forms uses softness to overcome the hard & stillness to combat movement. This form is good for body strengthening & self-defense. By practicing it, people can convert strength into inner energy & then into spirit. This practice combines Kungfu with inner alchemy & helps to achieve longevity, clarity & physical strength.

All forms of Wudang Taiji incorporate movement with stillness. With this practice the internal & external movement work together to help create an overall well-being in addition to improving physical health.
