First, be advised that all of these VCD's are IN CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quick time (for free) and any similar VCD player program. Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow! |

SHEN style Tai Chi The movements of this style are based on the Tai Chi Chuan created by Shen Zhi Long (Jia Zhen). Shen himself has direct lineage to Yang Chen-Fu (Yang Tai Chi) and through teachers to Tung Hai-Chuan (BaGua). By using his knowledge and background of Shaolin, Tong Bei, Tai Chi and BaGua, he constructed a system of relaxed and somewhat simplified movements which allowed more entrance to the average player. Other forms within the style were developed by Shu Yan-Chen a 2nd generation lineage holder. Demonstrator: Kai Bing-Li is a 3rd generation inheritor of Shen style.
