HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Pushing Hands (Tuishou) is the essential bridge between solo Technical Routine practice and actual combat application in the Chen family lineage. In this authoritative archive, Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei, a 19th-generation successor, elucidates the systematic methods of 'Knowing the Opponent' (Zhi Bi). The practice is rooted in the centuries-old tradition of Chenjiagou, where Sensitivity Training was used to test a practitioner's 'Internal Power' (Nei Jin) and structural integrity. This DVD serves as a professional standard for understanding how the circular principles of Taijiquan translate into effective martial grappling and neutralization.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The core of Chen Style Pushing Hands is 'Tactile Sensitivity' (Ting Jin) and 'Vector Neutralization' (Hua Jin). Master Chen explains the fundamental principles of 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) and 'Neither Letting Go nor Confronting' (Bu Diu Bu Ding). The biomechanics involve utilizing the 'Dantian' as the central engine to redirect an opponent's force through a 'Fluid Structure.' By mastering the eight methods—Ward-off, Roll-back, Press, Push, Pull-down, Split, Elbow, and Lean (Peng, Lu, Ji, An, Cai, Lie, Zhou, Kao)—the practitioner learns to 'Hold Skill rather than Strength,' using bio-mechanical alignment to overcome superior physical force through 'Internal Alchemy' and 'Dynamic Equilibrium.'
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND COMBAT APPLICATIONS
This instructional media provides a rigorous standard for examining one's Taijiquan proficiency. Master Chen demonstrates how to integrate 'Clutching, Grabbing, Throwing, and Striking' (Qin Na, Shuai, Da) into the flow of Pushing Hands. The instruction covers the five traditional levels: Rolling Up (Wan Hua), Fixed Step (Ding Bu), Moving Step (Huo Bu), Large Deflection (Da Lu), and Random Flower (Luan Cai Hua). The 'Spiral Force' (Luo Xuan Jin) is applied to neutralize incoming pressure and return it with 'Explosive Power' (Fa-Jin). Each level is explained with a focus on 'Avoiding the Solid and Striking the Void,' ensuring the practitioner can detect an opponent's intention before they execute a movement.
PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
As a cornerstone of the 'Chinoisere2008 Traditional Wushu Collection,' this DVD is vital for any serious martial artist. Master Chen Zhenglei’s teaching is 'Fact-Driven' and 'Scientifically Grounded,' stripping away mysticism to focus on the biological reality of combat. Pushing Hands is described as the 'Standard for Examining Kung Fu,' and this archive provides the benchmark for that examination. By following this guide, practitioners can transform their 'Knowing Self' (Zhi Ji) skills from form practice into the 'Knowing Others' (Zhi Bi) skills required for true martial mastery, preserving the authentic combat heritage of Chenjiagou.

Chen Zhenglei : A Comprehensive Overview of Martial Arts Mastery and Lineage
Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei is one of the most prominent figures in modern Chinese martial arts. He is a 19th-generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan and is officially recognized as one of the "Top Ten Martial Arts Masters of Contemporary China." His work has been instrumental in transforming Tai Chi from a local village tradition into a global phenomenon.
1. Lineage & Heritage
Chen Zhenglei’s background represents the purest direct descent of the Chen family traditions:
Chen-Style Taijiquan: Born in Chenjiagou (the birthplace of Tai Chi), he was trained from a young age by his uncle, the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaopei, and later by Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui. This dual heritage allowed him to master both the "Old Frame" (Lao Jia) and "New Frame" (Xin Jia) systems.
The "Four Tigers" of Chen Village: He is celebrated as one of the "Four Buddha Attendants" (commonly known as the Four Tigers) of Chenjiagou, the four masters responsible for reviving and preserving Chen-style Tai Chi after the Cultural Revolution.
Comprehensive Mastery: Beyond the empty-hand forms, he is a master of the Taiji Spear, Taiji Sword, and the specialized "Push Hands" (Tui Shou) Sensitivity Training.
2. Major Contributions & Achievements
Global Pedagogy: As the founder of the Chen Zhenglei Taijiquan Federation, he has established a massive network of schools across North America, Europe, and Asia. He is a primary architect of the standardized teaching methods used in modern Tai Chi education.
Literary & Visual Legacy: He has authored numerous definitive works, including "Chen Family Taijiquan: Theory and Practice," and has produced an extensive library of instructional media. His books and videos are considered the "Gold Standard" for practitioners seeking the authentic Chenjiagou curriculum.
National Recognition: He holds the highest rank (9th Duan) from the Chinese Wushu Association and has served as a senior consultant for various national and international martial arts organizations.
3. Technical Style & Martial Characteristics
Grandmaster Chen’s performance is often cited as the textbook definition of the Chen style:
Silk Reeling (Chan Si Gong): His movements exemplify the continuous, spiral energy that is the hallmark of the Chen system.
Dynamic Contrast: His style perfectly balances Yin and Yang—moving as smoothly as flowing water one moment, followed by sudden, thunderous Fa Li (explosive power) the next.
Scientific Systematization: He is credited with breaking down the esoteric "internal" concepts of Tai Chi into logical, step-by-step training modules suitable for modern students, regardless of their cultural background.
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.
