Chen Family Taijiquan (陳氏太極拳) is regarded as the progenitor of various Taijiquan styles, including Yang, Wu, and Sun. The art was developed about 400 years ago in the late Ming dynasty by Chen Wangting, a 9th generation representative of the Chen family.
Chen Wangting invented the style from a combination of the Yin and Yang theory found in the Yijing (易經: yìjīng), breathing techniques of Qi Inducing Practice (導引吐納: dǎoyǐntǔnà), the 29 postures of the military tactics book (紀效新書: jìxiàoxīnshū) by Qi Jiguang (戚繼光: Qī Jìgūang), and the theory of meridians in Chinese medicine.
Chen Family Taijiquan emphasizes sturdiness, softness, fastness, and slowness. Practitioners are expected to embody all of these qualities to fully capture the principles of Taijiquan. Without incorporating each of these elements, the essence of the style cannot be fully realized.
In essence, the absence of sturdiness and fastness would render the practice incomplete and untrue to the principles of Taijiquan.
The Chen Bing Taiji Academy is considered to be the most authentic lineage of Taijiquan in the world because its founder, Master Chen Bing, is a direct descendant of the creator of Taijiquan, Chen Wangting (陳王廷).
Master Chen Bing is the only son of Chen Yonghe, who was the eldest brother of Grandmasters Chen Xiaowang and Chen Xiaoxing. Currently, Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang is a representative of Chen Family Taijiquan, and their lineage is the only pure bloodline of Chen Wangting's direct descendants.
Historical records and research have shown that Chen Family Taijiquan is the original form of Taijiquan. The Chen family has been practicing their family's martial arts for over 400 years, since the 1600s. It's quite rare to find a family that has created its own martial art and maintained it for such a long time
Reeling Silk Power, also known as Silk-Reeling Force (纏絲勁: chánsījìn), is a technique used in Taijiquan that involves rotating the Dantian, which is a point about 1.5 inches below the navel. This movement helps Qi (氣, energy) flow throughout the entire body.
The practice of Reeling Silk exercises can have many benefits. It can help to open up the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, which are energy pathways in the body. This can help to balance the Yin and Yang energies in the body and develop the core of the Dantian, leading to better physical and mental health.
To achieve these benefits, the practitioner must use spiral movements from the Dantian, deep relaxation (Fangsong), and other specific training methods to allow energy to penetrate through all of the bones, joints, and nerves.
One of the key benefits of Reeling Silk exercises is that it can help to alleviate physical and mental ailments by removing blockages in the meridians. Anyone can practice Reeling Silk exercises, regardless of their age or body condition.
By understanding the profound principles of Taijiquan and applying them to the practice, practitioners can experience positive effects on various aspects of their health.
Merely performing slow and gentle movements does not represent the essence of Tai Chi, as true Tai Chi involves the study and application of internal principles that transform external forms into an internal art.
To achieve the true art of Tai Chi, it is necessary to study and practice the 25 key disciplines of Chen Family Taijiquan, which are both intricate and profound.
The classical style of Chen Family Taijiquan emphasizes the harmonization and interchange of energies between hardness, softness, fastness, and slowness. If a practitioner solely focuses on slow and soft movements, they cannot fully capture the essence of Tai Chi.
