What is the best tai chi style for beginners?

For most beginners, Yang Style is the most accessible entry point — its large, slow, open movements make it easier to learn basic principles without complex coordination. Chen Style offers a more traditional path with alternating slow and explosive movement. Sun Style provides compact, joint-friendly forms. The "best" style is the one you will practice consistently.
