Ancient respected Chen Style Taijiquan Routine I of Old Frame by Chen Qingzhou 3DVDs

The Chen-style Taijiquan Old Frame called Big Frame too, was created by Chen Changxing, the 14th successor of Chen family. Its ancient characteristics are retained completely, so it is called kung fu frame. The routine I of Old Frame mainly emphasizes softness, but also contains an element of hardness within. Its characteristics are: large movements, agile and steady footwork, naturally erect posture, internal energy governing the body, with the chan-si-jin (spiraling strength) as the core, the waist as the central axis of movement, and each separate movement linked together in a continuous whole. When movement commences the whole body is set in motion, when movement ceases the entire body is still. All the movements in the routine are performed continuously like floating clouds and flowing water. When applying force, one does so with a relaxed, active and elastic type of strength, and with an unbroken continuity of energy.

GRANDMASTER CHEN QINGZHOU

Chen Qingzhou is a 19th-generation lineage holder in Chen Family Taijiquan Gongfu and a direct descendant of the ancestral founder of Chen Village where Taijiquan originated. Born in 1934, he began training in Chen Family Old Frame under his father, Chen Wufang. He was later sent to study with the 18th-generation master, Chen Zhaopei, disciple of Chen Fake.

From his early youth, Chen Qingzhou had a tremendous love for Taijiquan. He practiced diligently and took careful notes of all he learned. As a result, Chen Zhaopei permitted him to teach after only one year of study and in 1962, granted him the status of rumen disciple.

Chen Qingzhou spent twenty years training and teaching in the Liberation Cemetery in Wenxian. Today, he teaches all over the world.
