Traditional Chen Taijiquan ("Lao Jia") is widely acknowledged as the oldest and the ancestor of all other Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi) styles. It has a comprehensive system that contains empty hands and weapon forms, silk-reeling exercises, and qigong. Traditional Chen Taijiquan is characterized by low powerful stances, very supple whole-body twining and coiling movements, stomping, and explosive releases of power that are mostly absent from the practice of other styles of Taijiquan. However, Traditional Chen Taijiquan can also be practiced with graceful, slow, and light movements. One can practice Traditional Chen Taijiquan in its entirety as an internal martial art or solely for its health benefits.
In my classes, you will be introduced to the Traditional Chen Taiji form, qigong and silk-reeling exercises. My goal is to promote Traditional Chen Taijiquan in the San Francisco and South Bay Areas of California. I want to share this wonderful art of Traditional Chen Taijiquan -- its health and martial aspects -- with others.
