HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The New Frame Routine II, or 'New Frame Cannon Fist' (Xin Jia Pao Chui), represents the pinnacle of explosive martial application within the Chen Style system. Building upon the intricate internal foundations of New Frame Routine I, this routine adds a layer of high-intensity combat maneuvers, including rapid-fire strikes and sophisticated footwork. Master Zhang Dongwu presents this routine as the ultimate expression of Chen Style’s martial prowess, combining the refined internal mechanics of Chen Fake’s lineage with the raw power of the traditional Cannon Fist.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This routine is characterized by its complexity and its demand for 'Hardness Integrated with Softness.' It centers on the application of the 'Four Corner' hands (Pick, Elbow, Lean, Obstruct) while maintaining the 'Four Positive' hands as a foundation. The movements are fast, strong, and involve frequent leaps and stomps. Master Zhang demonstrates how to 'Move in a Flash' and 'Spring and Shake' with precision. The routine requires the practitioner to guide the body with the hands, coordinated with flexible footwork, ensuring that every explosive movement is rooted in internal commanding force.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The biomechanics of New Frame Routine II focus on the 'Springiness Force' (Tan Dou Jin). Master Zhang explains that 'if the internal body is motionless, the external will not exert force.' The instruction details how to generate power through the 'Spiral Kinetic Chain,' using the elasticity of the fascia and tendons rather than just muscular tension. This allows for 'Explosive Force' that is both faster and more penetrating. The DVD set provides a deep analysis of how to maintain internal balance and 'Peng' energy even during the most violent and rapid transitions.
LINEAGE AND MASTERY
Zhang Dongwu’s mastery of the New Frame Cannon Fist is evident in his fluid yet powerful execution. As a 7th Dan Wushu master and a key figure in the Henan Chen Family Tai Chi Quan Federation, his teaching carries the weight of authentic tradition. This 3-DVD set offers a comprehensive curriculum for the advanced practitioner, covering the technical routine in detail along with its combat applications. It is a rare opportunity to learn the most advanced 'hard' form of Chen Style Tai Chi from a master who embodies the perfect balance of internal wisdom and external martial skill.
