HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame (Xin Jia) was developed by the legendary 17th generation master Chen Fake. While it retains the core principles of the Old Frame, the New Frame introduces more complex circularity, smaller circles, and a higher frequency of explosive power (Fa-Jin). Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, the grandson of Chen Fake, provides an authoritative demonstration of this advanced system. This routine, specifically the 83-posture Yi Lu, is renowned for its technical depth and its requirement for high-level body coordination. It represents the evolution of Chen Style as it moved from the village of Chenjiagou to the wider world of Beijing in the early 20th century.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The New Frame is characterized by 'Spiral Force' (Luo Xuan Jin). Unlike the larger, more obvious movements of the Old Frame, Xin Jia utilizes intricate wrist rotations and subtle chest-waist folding to generate power. Master Chen Xiaowang explains the 'Body-Sword Integration' of the limbs, where every joint acts as a gear in a complex machine. The movements are 'Fluid and Cohesive,' requiring the practitioner to maintain a constant state of 'Silk Reeling' while executing rapid transitions. The focus is on the 'Dantian' as the central engine, with the limbs acting as the transmission system for internal pressure.
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND APPLICATIONS
This 4-DVD set provides a comprehensive breakdown of the 83 postures. Master Chen emphasizes the 'Small Circle' theory, where the defensive and offensive applications are hidden within tight, efficient movements. The routine is a masterclass in 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui), teaching the practitioner how to neutralize incoming force through subtle changes in angle and pressure. The Fa-Jin in New Frame is often more 'Short and Crisp' (Duan Jin) compared to the Old Frame, requiring a high degree of relaxation (Song) followed by instantaneous contraction. Each posture is analyzed for its combat application, showing how the internal spirals translate into devastating martial techniques.
PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
For the advanced practitioner, this DVD set offers a roadmap to higher-level Taijiquan. Master Chen Xiaowang’s teaching style is rigorous and fact-driven, stripping away the myths to focus on the biological reality of movement. By studying the New Frame under his guidance, students learn to refine their internal kinetic chain and achieve a state of 'Moving like a Great River.' This archival record is indispensable for those seeking to master the technical nuances and the profound internal power of the Chen family legacy.

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.
