DVDs: CHEN TAI CHI (Old 108 Style) Demonstrator/Teacher: Yun Fu Chen, Coach and Committee member of Xian Wushu Association, also Vice-Chairman of Xian ChuaHua Wushu School. This
Chen Style Long Fist is said to have been created by Chen TingYuan.
Some people believe that it was the foundation of when we now know
as Chen Tai Chi. Certainly records indicate that there were more
Chen style sets than in existance today. As with a number of other
recorded sets this one was lost to the Chen Family in its 13th generation,
because the sole 12th generation inheritor left out of Chen JiaGou
(Chen Village). This Chen BuFu is believed to have committed a crime
while aiding other people. He relocated to ShanXi region and changing
his name to Guo YungFu. In 1975 Chen LiQing, from ChenJizGuo, visited
master Hsu FongQin Hsu in ShanXi and recovered the form which is
presented here spanning 4 sets in its entirety. |

#10308 Chen Tai Chi Old 108 Form This is a series of Chen Style Tai Chi DVD's showing an older, longer form and its constituent weapons and hand sets. Yun is a student of the esteemed Chen LiQing one of the last of her generation of Chen stylists. This
is the complete version, in SEVEN DVDs, of the "long"
108 set which is said to be one of the historically fundamental
sets of the Chen style. (And, in our opinion probably is...) |

#10312 Chen Tai Chi Small Frame (Xiao Jia) Form This is a series of Chen Style Tai Chi DVD's showing an older, longer form and its constituent weapons and hand sets. Yun is a student of the esteemed Chen LiQing one of the last of her generation of Chen stylists. This
is a TRIPLE DVD showing a version of
Lao Jia in the smaller frame. This obviously older version has many
"loops" of hand motions with strong emphasis on - to our
eyes - a more correct application of Reeling Silk Movement. Explosive
but controlled actions also spice up the form. Definitely related
to older forms of Chen's famous Lao Jia. |
