Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.

The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.
