This is arguably the oldest Tai Chi form & the basis of traditional Chen style Tai Chi training.
Because its so long & contains several difficult movements, the form was cut down into the newer 18 posture form, which is much faster to learn & still contains many useful movements that provide a range of health benefits.
There are two Lao Jia (Old frame) forms:
The Yi Lu, or first form, which helps develop good posture, footwork & technique
The shorter, second Pao Chui form, which is faster & develops power & strength.
Below are the names of the 74 Postures of the Lao Jia Yi Lu form, taken from “Chen style Taijiquan, Sword & Broadsword” by Chen Zhenglei, 2003
