HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Chen Style Taijiquan is the ancestral root of all Tai Chi styles; originating in Chenjiagou over four centuries ago. This comprehensive 20-DVD collection; presented by the esteemed Master Zhang Dongwu; represents the complete technical routine and martial logic of the Chen family. Master Zhang; a direct disciple of Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei; bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern instructional clarity. This series covers the foundational Old Frame (Lao Jia); the sophisticated New Frame (Xin Jia); the vigorous Cannon Fist (Pao Chui); and the elegant Single Sword; providing an exhaustive resource for serious practitioners seeking internal mastery.
COMPLETE SERIES CONTENT LIST
This master collection includes the following specialized volumes:
1. Chen Style Tai Chi Old Form Routine I & Combat Theory (7-DVD)
2. Chen Style Tai Chi Old Form Routine II Cannon Fist (2-DVD)
3. Chen Style Tai Chi New Form Routine I & Combat Logic (6-DVD)
4. Chen Style Tai Chi New Frame Routine II Cannon Fist (3-DVD)
5. Chen Style Tai Chi Single Sword & Combat Applications (2-DVD)
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Chen system is renowned for its spiral mechanics and the distinct contrast between softness and hardness. Throughout these technical routines; Master Zhang emphasizes the cultivation of 'Silk Reeling' (Chan Si Jin) energy—a continuous; spiraling force that connects the entire body. The routines transition seamlessly from slow; meditative movements to sudden; explosive force (Fa-Jin). The New Frame volumes explore the intricate micro-adjustments refined by Chen Fake; while the Cannon Fist volumes focus on high-intensity martial applications and rapid-fire strikes that mimic the firing of ancient artillery.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
From a biomechanical perspective; this series is a masterclass in kinetic chain alignment. Master Zhang explains how the 'Dantian' acts as the engine; driving the rotation of the waist and the movement of the limbs. The instruction focuses on 'Body-Sword Integration' in the weapon routines and structural integrity in the empty-hand forms. By mastering the 'Five Bows' and maintaining 'Peng' (buoyant pressure); practitioners learn to generate immense power through skeletal alignment rather than raw muscular tension. This ensures that the internal organs are strengthened while the joints remain flexible and protected.
LINEAGE PRESERVATION
As a 7th Dan Wushu Master and one of the 'Ten Great Tiger' disciples of Chenjiagou; Zhang Dongwu offers a level of technical depth rarely seen in instructional media. His pedagogy is rigorous; focusing on the 'Yi' (intent) that guides the Qi to every extremity. This 20-DVD set is not just a demonstration; it is a preservation of the scholarly and martial heritage of the Chen family; ensuring that the sophisticated combat logic and internal alchemy of the birthplace of Tai Chi are accessible to the global martial arts community.

He has spent decades teaching internationally, establishing a reputation for his technical clarity and his dedication to preserving the traditional mechanics of Chen-style Tai Chi in a contemporary global context.
Martial Arts Background: Authentic Chen Village Heritage
Zhang Dongwu’s background is rooted in the rigorous training environment of Chenjiagou, the birthplace of Tai Chi. His mastery encompasses the entire Chen-style curriculum, including the Old Frame (Lao Jia), Small Frame (Xiao Jia), and New Frame (Xin Jia) routines, as well as traditional weaponry such as the Tai Chi sword and broadsword. His training emphasizes the hallmark "silk-reeling" (Chan Si Jin) energy and the unique explosive power (Fa Li) that distinguishes the Chen system from other Tai Chi lineages.

As a world-class educator, Zhang Dongwu has been instrumental in the international spread of Chen-style Tai Chi.

Artistic Style: Dynamic Power and Spiral Mechanics
His style is characterized by the distinct Chen-style contrast between "softness and hardness." His movements demonstrate a profound command of spiral mechanics, where power is generated from the ground and expressed through the entire body in continuous, fluid motions. In his practice, one can observe the clear alternation between slow, meditative transitions and sudden, explosive strikes. His execution is precise and powerful, embodying the practical martial roots of the Chen family tradition while maintaining the internal calm central to all Tai Chi.
