Chen Style Taijiquan (Tai Chi) – Xin Jia Er Lu

Performed by: Michał Ignatowicz Music: Kings of Shining Metal Chen Style Xin Jia (New Frame, or New Method) is a variation of Chen Family Taijiquan made by Chen Fa Ke and his students. It consists of 2 hand routines: 1st set - Yi Lu, and the 2nd set - Er Lu. The 2nd set of Xin Jia, just like in the 2nd routine of Lao Jia (Old Frame or Old Method) concentrates mostly on explosive power (Fa Li or Fa Jin), while the 1st set concentrates mostly on details and softness (Chan Si Jin) of techniques. This version of the 2nd routine is based on Chen Zheng Lei’s and Wang Er Ping as well as Zhang Jian Qun’s interpretation. Chen Chao – thank you for the inspiration!
