The Chen Style Taiji Quan New Frame Routine I (Xin Jia Yi Lu) is a masterpiece of martial design, created by the legendary 17th-generation master Chen Fake. This routine is characterized by its "extensive, low, and stable" movements, offering a more intricate and physically demanding alternative to the Old Frame. This DVD provides the definitive instruction on this style, which focuses on the continuous spiraling of the joints and the precise control of internal energy. It represents a significant evolution in the Chen family’s martial archive, emphasizing hidden power and high-level body mechanics.

Technique-wise, New Frame I is famous for its agile steadiness and the simultaneous turning of the wrists, shoulders, ankles, and knees. The curriculum focuses on the "Four Directions" of warding off, deflecting, shoving, and pressing, with a heavy emphasis on "Silk Reeling" (Chansijin). Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei teaches the student how to use the waist as the axis for every movement, ensuring that the chest and waist remain upright even during low-stance transitions. The routine utilizes "soft force" to overcome the opponent, neutralizing attacks through sophisticated spiraling motions. This is a scientific study in biomechanical efficiency, requiring the practitioner to keep the internal energy filling the entire body at all times.

Value-wise, practicing the New Frame I lies in its ability to build exceptional structural strength and joint flexibility. It is a high-level coordination exercise that sharpens the mind-body connection. For the martial artist, it provides the tools to handle complex attacks with minimal effort. For the health-seeker, it offers a deep massage of the internal organs and a significant boost to circulation. This DVD is a "cultural treasure" that allows global practitioners to access the elite-level techniques of the Chen family’s "New Frame" tradition, ensuring the legacy of Chen Fake continues to inspire.
