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 Quicktime (for free) and any similiar VCD player program.Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow!

CHEN TAI CHI "THUNDER STYLE" (Hu Lei Jia)

Demonstrator/Teacher: Chen QingLei .
Hu-Lei Jia or "Thunder Style" is the last flowering of the Chen Family Tai Chi. It specializes in Fa Chin or Energy Issuance but at a much higher level than many other versions of Chen. It is also known as having definite "levels of performance" that take the practitioner through a regimented. Thunder Style orginated in Wang Ge Dang village less than ten miles from Chen Jia Guo and is considered an authentic and important branch of the Chen that, until recently, was almost extinct.

Chen QingLei is a 15th generation Chen Tai Chi inheritor and a Fourth Generation lineage holder in Thunder Style. Thunder style, almost single handedly rescued from oblivion by Adam Hsu, is the "last" form of Tai Chi developed by the Chen Family. An amazing style we were privledged to observe on our 1994 trip to China demonstrated by this man and his relatives. Thunder Style, besides having an unusual and explosive method of Fa Chin (Energy Issuance) is very important in the Tai Chi world as having discernable levels of competence which can be applied to ANY form of Tai Chi. Long time practitioners will see how useful this is in honing Tai Chi skills.
