HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame Second Routine, famously known as Pao Chui or Cannon Fist, represents the most dynamic and explosive aspect of the Chen family martial heritage. While the First Routine (Yi Lu) focuses on silk reeling and internal structure, the Cannon Fist emphasizes the practical application of power. This specific lineage was refined by the 17th generation master Chen Fake, who introduced more complex movements and increased the frequency of explosive releases. Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, as the 19th generation lineage holder, presents this routine with the technical precision and historical accuracy that only a direct descendant can provide. This instructional archive is a vital record of the transition from internal cultivation to external martial expression.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The technical core of Pao Chui is defined by 'Song Huo Dan Dou' (Loose, Lively, Springing, and Shaking). This DVD set delves deep into the biomechanics of explosive force (Fa-Jin), demonstrating how power is generated from the ground, amplified through the waist, and expressed with thunderous impact. Unlike the softer Yi Lu, Cannon Fist requires 'Flash-like' movements (Shan Zhan Teng Nuo) and sophisticated jumping mechanics. Master Chen explains the kinetic chain required to maintain internal cohesion while performing rapid, high-impact movements. The 'Springy Power' (Tan Xing Jin) is emphasized, showing how the body acts as a compressed spring that releases energy instantaneously without losing its structural integrity.
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND APPLICATIONS
The choreography of Xin Jia Er Lu is significantly more complex than the foundational frames. It prioritizes the 'Four Corner Hands' (Cai, Lie, Zhou, Kao) while utilizing the 'Four Square Hands' (Peng, Lu, Ji, An) as support. Throughout the 3-DVD set, Master Chen breaks down the 'Stamping and Exerting Force' (Zhen Jiao Fa Li) techniques, ensuring the practitioner understands the grounding required for such powerful movements. The routine is a masterclass in 'Hardness containing Softness,' where the external speed is governed by internal stillness. Every jump, strike, and turn is analyzed for its combat application, providing a bridge between solo form practice and real-world martial efficiency.
CULTURAL HERITAGE AND MASTERY
As a cornerstone of the 'Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection,' this DVD set is more than just an instructional video; it is a piece of living history. Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang’s performance of the Cannon Fist is legendary for its combination of raw power and fluid grace. This archive provides practitioners with the tools to master the most challenging routine in the Chen Style curriculum. By following the detailed explanations of internal movement and external expression, students can ensure their practice aligns with the authentic standards of Chenjiagou, preserving the technical excellence of the Cannon Fist for future generations.

Biography of Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang
I. Basic Information
Year of Birth: 1945
Birthplace: Chenjiagou (Chen Village), Wen County, Henan Province, China.
Status: 19th Generation Lineage Holder of Chen Family Taijiquan; Leader of the "Four Tigers" (Four Arhats) of Chenjiagou.
II. Growth Background & Early Life
Chen Xiaowang’s path to mastery was defined by the hardships and strict discipline typical of a traditional martial arts lineage:
Illustrious Lineage:
He was born into the very heart of Taijiquan royalty. He is the grandson of the legendary Chen Fake, the 17th-generation master who first brought Chen Style Taijiquan to the public in Beijing, and the son of the accomplished master Chen Zhaoxu.
Hardship and Perseverance:
Chen Xiaowang lost his father at a young age and grew up in a period of significant economic difficulty. Under the guidance of his uncles, Chen Zhaopi and Chen Zhaokui, he began rigorous training. It is said he practiced his routines dozens of times a day regardless of the weather, forging a foundation of "bitter labor" (Ku Lian) that resulted in his world-renowned internal power.
Preserving the Flame:
During turbulent historical periods in China when traditional arts were at risk of being lost, Chen Xiaowang and his peers (like Chen Zhenglei) continued to practice in secret, ensuring that the ancestral techniques and internal secrets remained intact for future generations.
III. Professional Career
Early 1980s: He began representing Chen Style Taijiquan in national competitions. Due to his profound skill and authentic form, he won consecutive gold medals at the first and second National Taijiquan Competitions, becoming a household name in the Chinese martial arts world.
Global Outreach: In the 1990s, he relocated abroad (primarily to Australia) to promote Taijiquan globally.
Global Association: He founded the World Chen Xiaowang Taijiquan Association, which now has branches in dozens of countries and tens of thousands of students worldwide.
IV. Core Achievements & Contributions
1. Theory and Modernization
Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang made monumental contributions to making traditional Gongfu accessible to the modern world:
Simplified Routines: He created the Chen Style 9, 19, and 38-move routines to lower the barrier for beginners while maintaining the essence of the art.
The "Five Levels of Kung Fu": He systematically codified the progression of Taijiquan into five distinct stages, turning vague traditional concepts into a scientific, measurable standard for practitioners.
2. Technical Mastery (Fa Li & Silk Reeling)
Rooting and "Thousand-Pound Drop": He is famous for his unshakable "Stake Standing" (Zhan Zhuang). In public demonstrations, he has famously remained unmoved while several strong men attempted to push him, showcasing the ultimate level of "neutralizing and redirecting" force.
Explosive Power (Fa Li): His style is characterized by deep stability followed by lightning-fast strikes. His execution of Fa Li is considered the global "Gold Standard" for Chen Style mechanics.
3. Honors and Recognition
9th Duan Master: The highest rank awarded by the Chinese Wushu Association.
National-Level Intangible Cultural Heritage Holder: Officially recognized by the Chinese government as a primary guardian of the art.
Lifetime Achievement Awards: Recipient of numerous prestigious honors at international martial arts festivals.
HERITAGE ARCHIVE: This instructional media is part of the Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection. Our mission is to preserve the authentic lineage and technical standards of Chinese martial arts through systematic digital documentation.
