Taijiquan offers a unique and invaluable exploration of traditional Chen Taiji
as practiced by one of its most accomplished teachers. The 38 Movement Short
Form, created by the 11th-Generation Chen Taiji standard bearer Grandmaster
Chen Xiaowang, is the only basic Taijiquan routine that provides training in
both Lao Jia (Old Frame) and Xin Jia (New Frame) versions of Chen Taijiquan.
This book provides readers with hundreds of photographs demonstrating the basic
skills and techniques of the traditional Chen style, as taught in Chenjiagou
in Henan, China, where Taijiquan developed as a distinctive martial arts style.
It also includes rarely seen demonstrations of select fighting applications
based on the 38 movements form.
This complete and thoroughly practiced handbook to Chen Taiji offers students,
teachers, and enthusiasts both the unique, long-term benefits of Taijiquan,
along with a fascinating introduction to one of the most important classical
forms.
