Chen Style Taijiquan Lao Jia Yi Lu Applications

Level: Beginner

Chen Style Taijiquan Lao Jia Yi Lu Applications present a realistic sampling of martial applications from the "basic training" form of Chen Style Taijiquan - Lao Jia Yi Lu - or the First Form of the Old Frame. The genius of Taijiquan's formal training can be seen in its training the practitioner to respond to changing circumstances and potentially attacking in any direction. Most other styles of martial arts only train individuals in fixed drills by rote practice. Master Ren Guangyi is a 12th generation Chen Style Taijiquan master and the leading disciple of Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang. He spent ten years of serious intensive study in Chen Village in Henan Province, the birthplace of Taijiquan. In 1998, Master Ren captured the coveted heavyweight title for pushing hands at the International Taijiquan Competition in Wenxian, Henan, China. That same year, he founded the International Chen Style Taijiquan Association. Since then, Master Ren has appeared on the cover of Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine and has produced several highly regarded instructional books and videos on Taijiquan.
