Students learn Yang Style Long Form, Tai Chi Ch’uan through repetition, martial arts applications, TCM understanding, and by studying the history, philosophy of the Tai Chi Classics.  Eight Silken Forms and Five Elements forms also increase learning.  Staff, Fan, and Sword forms are for advanced practitioners.
