42-step Taiji demonstration

The video is not of great quality since it's filming by a viewer at a competition, but the performance is rather nice.  42-step Taiji is the standard competition form, and has a combination of postures from various styles.  Mostly Yang, but certainly Chen and Sun (I do not know anything about the other styles, so I can't tell).  This is the routine that professor Li De Yin co-created.  I started this routine when I lived in Pennsylvania, but I had to move before I finished it.  Hopefully some day I will learn it again!

32-step is an interesting routine.  It's much more complex compared to the 24-step routine, but in terms of combining styles it's still very Yang centric.  I liked the routine when I learned it, specially since it's more demanding and there are more curves built into it (I particularly loved the beginning of the form).  However, now that I think back, I think it would have been just as effective if I had started 42-step right after 24.  I don't think 32-step adds much value for somebody who wants to learn the competition form anyway.  Nevertheless, I found this nice demonstration of the form which I'm adding here as a reference:
