Changing 24's Look Might be More Like Changing the Body of a VWBeetle than the Engine
B-Rad said, "So, where am I going with this - if you choose to USE the 24 Posture routine but modify it, it is no longer 24 so call it Taijiquan but do not call it 24. Sort of like if you were to take a VW beetle and remove the engine and replace it with a front mounted engine - V8 - it would NOT be a VW beetle (I actually knew of someone who did that and won a lot of pink slips racing due to people thinking of it being a beetle."
Because to look at the vehicle it Is a VW Beetle the analogy might more be switching out the body of the beetle for a high performance sportier vehicle. In this way how it drives is the same as 24 but the look of it has been snazzied-up and is not the external form of the engine driving it.
