Taiji - Chen Style Fan (48 form) 陳式太極扇48式

Hola!... I had the opportunity to ask the Grand Master Chen Xiaowang on tai chi fan and in me that: 'in Chen taiji There is no any set of fan...'

I was training with Leming Yue one of Chen Zheng Lei's Students on the 14th of Febuary 2009 at Telford and he taught us a Fan form based on the Chen 11 one of his own simplifications of the Chen 18 form taught by chen zheng lei. I don't suppose that the chen family have a fixed fan form but they don't not use fans. He explained that it helped to teach fa-jin as when the fan opens it must be due to the projection of chi/energy/momentum. Hope that helps some how.

Very well done. I have watched several other fan performers. This is the best one so far.

Very enjoyable to watch, thanks!

outstanding performance. Classical movements, no modern gimmicks added. Traditional taiji at its best.I am 46 female and i love to see elder ladies performing like this.

I understand that traditionally there isn't a fan form in the Chen style curriculum. On the website of Malisa Ng, a disciple of Zhu Tiancai, it is written that the fan appears to be a relatively late arrival to the Chen family weapons routines and probably came via Yang style taiji. There is also video of a Chen Style fan form on the website.
Anyway, this 48 fan forms is beautifully demonstrated by Ma Chunxi. Does anybody know who her teacher was?

taijigongfu: Thanks for the information concerning the fan form. I appreciate your honesty

It's the Chen Style 48 Fan Forms.
