Description
Chen Family (or Chen Style) Taijiquan is a martial art, not a meditation exercise like Western-style Taiji. Chen Family Taijiquan incorporates a variety of vigorous techniques such as leaping, dodging, striking, throwing, and locking. This guide clearly explains the fundamentals of all legitimate Taiji systems and provides step-step breakdowns of several Chen Family exercises, including basic hand and foot techniques, standing meditation, the first solo routine, two-person combat exercises, and martial applications, along with the history and theory of the practice.
Old Frame Chen Family Taijiquan is an essential study, guide for anyone interested in Taijiquan. Newcomers to the art will find useful intormation on how to identify a qualified instructor, while the martial arts theorist will find a thorough discussion concerning the origins and evolution of Taiji.
Mark Chen is a 20th-generation lineage holder in Chen Family Taijiquan, and a formal, ruinen disciple of 19th-generation Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou of Xulü Village, Henan Province, China. He holds an instructor's credential (quoti shi rank) from the certification board of the Wen Xian International Taijiquan Conference, the official accreditation body for Chen Family Taijiquan instructors in China. He is also a certified senior instructor in the Chen Qingzhou Martial Arts Association and the public-relations director for the National Neigong Research Society.
