One of the best articles I have read concerning Chen:

Scientific Principles and Methods
of Chenstyle Taijiquan
By Hong Jun-sheng (1906-1996)

All that pertains to real life and that conforms to objective laws of reality will necessarily conform to scientific principles. There are many variations of method, but principles are invariable. Method may change due to people, events, or terrain, but it still conforms to principle, you could also say it conforms to necessity.

Although Chenstyle Taijiquan has been handed down a long time from generation to generation, it was not until Chen Xin (1849-1929) of the 16th generation that the scientific principles and methods of this boxing style were summarized and put forth in writing. Chen Xin wrote that "Taijiquan is the twining method...." and added emphasis to this by saying: "if you don't understand this, you don't understand boxing". The twining method (chan fa) that Chen Xin refers to is a spiraling style of movement; through spiraling, the entire body gradually attains through practice a "silk-twining energy" (chan si jin). This type of energy is a blend of both hard and soft and is the "Yin inseparable from Yang, Yang inseparable from Yin, a blend of Yin and Yang" energy spoken of in Wang Zong-Yue's Treatise on Taijiquan (Taijiquan Lun). This energy is the product of training by utilizing scientific methods. In terms of physiology, this kind of energy can bring about the movement of the joints, muscles, and each cell of the entire body, so that when there is movement, everything is set into motion, even to the point where there occurs a self-massaging function of the internal organs as the spine rotates left and right. As the years go by, because there is the unimpeded circulation of internal energy (qi) and blood, good health is naturally obtained.

From the point of view of combat, because rotation can be easily changed, no matter which part of my body the attacker's energy comes close to, I can turn slightly in the same direction of the attacking force - making it easy to neutralize the attack away from me. This is the "leading the attacker off harmlessly" (yin jin luo kong) required by Taijiquan. When you turn, because you are moving in a circle, although this half of the circle is for neutralizing, the other half circle comes around as the rotation continues - naturally forming a circle that is half soft neutralization and half hard issuing power. Suppose the [attacker's] movement is slow, you could turn a quarter of the circle and easily accomplish the result [of neutralizing the attack]. When your skill is greater and the speed of movement is faster, you can make a very slight rotation and achieve the effect of neutralizing and striking at the same time. Taijiquan therefore requires one to go from big circles to small circles and from small circles to no [apparent] circles at all. Large circles and small circles are the rotation of your vertical axis [spine] coordinated with the rotation [of your limbs] left and right, front and back [so-called "gong zhuan" or common rotation]; no circles at all makes use of the rotation of your vertical axis [so-called "zi zhuan" or self-rotation].

Hong Jun Sheng lived in Jinan for many years and is suppoed to be one of the most knowledgeable.

If i'm not mistaken, this is the demo of either Xinjia ErLu or one of his own creations. A great clip I must say. Other than that, RAF pretty much covered everything web site I know plus some.
