A whole series of exercises with the Chen version of the Tai Chi ball which is generally associated with the Yang Family branch. One unique aspect is that Master Chen uses the ball almost as a massage device keeping it tight against his torso and rolling it along the front there. Tossing the ball, turning it, many types of movements which are also shown without the ball directly as self massage moves. Also, as a bonus this DVD ends with a demonstration of PAO CHUI, the second Chen set. |

This is the Old Frame, also known as Large Frame, the major set of Chen Tai Chi as it was developed by Chen Chan Xing. Chen Qing Zhou, a 19th generation inheritor, shows a highly instructive version of this set where if one finger moves the entire body moves. His is an excellent balance, unlike some Chen practitioners, of fluid movement and functional awareness. His actions are precise by flowing. Most importantly, he knows what he is doing. Of course there are different interpretations for movements in the Tai Chi spectrum but the essential ingrediant is to have SOME authentic interpretation. One of the best version of Lao Jia ranking the best of the [...]. |

Two sets for the price of one. First is a version of Saber (Broadsword) with a strong martial spirit and some of the Fa Ching practice associated with Chen Tai Chi. Next is something you don't often see, a form with the Long Pole (Chang Gan). This is an excellent series of power issuing moves demonstrated initially by Chen and then each move also shown by an advanced student. |

The "Five Tigers Capture the Sheep" staff is a classic. Shaolin, Long Fist and many styles share the same set. It's just a good overall staff set known to many teachers often in a few versions. Here is the Chen Five Tiger and it is one of the best sets shown by Master Chen. The general structure is about the same as most five tigers with the distinctive moves of whirling that staff here and there over the head that gives the set its name. For those who want a Tai Chi staff set that is, first and foremost, a good stick set and also partakes of the Tai Chi styles. |

This is a Chen version of the Tai Chi sword which, pretty obviously, harks back to the martial origins of the weapon. There is a not a lot of overplayed Reeling Silk Energy. In fact the movements are somewhat conservative. But there are unique stomping actions reminding us of Pao Chui many tight movements of the wrist with correctly positioned sword actions. Many of the moves are similar to the Yang style 13 Method sword and may historically show some linkage here. A slightly stilted but perfectly respectable set that will be particularly interesting to the Chen enthusiast or just Tai Chi collector. |

While the title might seem like something more likely to be found on one of Letterman's Top 10 Lists ("Future Careers of Movie Has-Beens" or "Reasons to Wear Pajamas in Public"), David Carradine's Tai Chi Workout for Beginners is nothing if not completely serious. Carradine narrates and helps a certified tai chi instructor lead three students through the Chen style, considered by some to be the original style of tai chi. Against an ever-changing (and distracting) nature video backdrop, the 60-minute tape breaks the exercises into sections: "Opening the Gates" loosens and warms major joints; "Specific Health" movements relieve headaches or soo [...]. |

Without a doubt one of the highlights of this series. Sort of an extension of Tai Chi ruler this "bang" is a short instrument about four inches on each side bent at something less than a 90% angle. Master Chen demonstrates the exercises while holding it and twisting his hands then shows the exact correlative movement for Chin Nah practice. Very interesting. He also shows many principles of Push Hands utilizing the Tai Chi Ball as a concept but in a different way from his solitary Ball practice. Applications. |
