Quick tips for learning Tai Chi online - 
The transition move between Squatting Single Whip and Golden Rooster is more important than the move itself. 
Why is this? Simply because if you lost your root and connection with the ground in the process of trying to look good, trying to get down or get up as far as you can to impress yourself/your friends/your audience/ your teacher or students - then you are missing the point. 
Take it slow, stay rooted, and don't try to impress anyone with high moves or deep squats. Save that for the Youtube thumbnail or book sleeve.
