Description

Chen Style Taijiquan, a martial art with roots in Chenjiagou village, Henan Province, has evolved over centuries into various styles and frames. This translation focuses on the "Small Frame" (Xiao Jia), a traditional practice method within the Chen Style system, as elucidated by Chen Ziming, a disciple of Chen Xin. What You'll Discover: Historical Context: Learn about the origins of Chen Style Taijiquan, created by Chen Wangting, and how it has evolved over three centuries into different styles, including Yang, Wu, and Sun. Introduction to "Small Frame": Understand the philosophy and techniques that make "Small Frame" unique, from reducing large circles to small ones to the concept of "no circles," the pinnacle of the art. Technical Insights: Dive deep into the intricacies of "Small Frame," including Body Method (Shen Fa), Hand Techniques (Shou Fa), Footwork (Bu Fa), and Strength Method (Jin Fa). Modern Practitioners: Get to know the contemporary torchbearers of "Small Frame," such as Chen Kezhong and Chen Boxiang. The "Bible of Martial Arts": Explore references from Chen Xin's "Illustrated Explanation to Chen Family Taijiquan," considered the definitive guide to Chen Style Taijiquan. Why This Translation Matters: This translation aims to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern practice. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer to Taijiquan, this work offers a comprehensive look into the "Small Frame" of Chen Style Taijiquan, a method that remains relatively unknown yet profoundly influential.
