  • According to my teacher who taught me this Chen style taiji is from Grand master Du Yu Ze's lineage (his teacher is Chen Yenxi, father of Chen Fake), which has original flavor of Chang Quan (Long Fist)

  • this guy must also do wing chun?... I am guessing based on his stance. even grandmaster Du was not so rigid or with his knees bowed inwards.

  • @chentaichiacademy If you would like to see Du, Adam Hsu and two other practitioners, the following links might help you understand what you are missing.

  • @chentaichiacademy While you can structure a form to issue power without moving the legs, the ability to move the leg and issue power is a distinct advantage in a combat situation.

  • @chentaichiacademy With regard to the knees, they are intentionally in on the horse riding stance (how else do you grip the horse?) This was how Chen Yen Xi taught it. The softness of the inner body refers to mentally opening the energy channels and we do not take this literally. The feet shift on fajing because the source of power comes from the legs.

  • @chentaichiacademy When Chen Fake moved to Beijing he modified the form. This version that you reject comes from Chen Fakes father, Chen Yenxi! Du Yuze was the same generation as Chen Fake. He learned directly from Chen Yenxi when Chen Yenxi was his fathers (Du Yen) body guard. He studied with the elder Chen for many years.

  • @chentaichiacademy It's ironical that you profess knowledge of Chen's Taiji but lack the training to recognize the roots of the modern form. Elderly people from the Chen village have nostalgically said that this is how they used to practice when they were children.

  • This guy is making a lot of very fundamental mistakes, is this something he made up, knees wrong position, feet shifting on fajing (/) he has obviously done some kung fu, but has a very rigid inner body, tight out , tight inside. This is not Chen Tai Chi, I see it done by loads of top masters in China daily, never seen anything like this.

  • Hi,

    I never saw that form before.

    Who is teaching this one?

  • Nice.
