Free Class: Tai Chi 100 "Fang Song"

The Practice That Represents Chen Bing Taiji Academy Itself: The 8 Essential Exercises Derived from the Oldest and Mother Form of Tai Chi

Tai Chi 100: Fang Song is not only our foundational public offering — it is the very practice that represents the essence of Chen Bing Taiji Academy (CBTA).

This unique method, developed by Master Chen Bing — direct lineage holder and founder of Chen Bing Taiji Academy(CBTA) — distills the deepest internal principles of Chen Family Taijiquan into 8 essential relaxation techniques. These exercises draw from the "Old Frame First & Second Roads" and embody the core of the Chen family’s classical system.

[What is Fang Song?]

“Fang Song” (放松), meaning “Relax” or “Loosen Up” in Mandarin, is far more than physical release. It is a gateway into the internal world of Tai Chi — harmonizing the body, calming the breath, and centering the mind.

Through these 8 integrated movements, practitioners experience:

Deep whole-body release — from head to toe
Gentle spinal decompression and joint opening
Regulated breath and Dantian-centered awareness
Internal calm and nervous system rebalancing

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, Fang Song will meet you where you are — offering both a soft entry point and an advanced internal method for those seeking authentic depth.
