The Chen Style Taiji Quan New Frame Routine II, also known as Cannon Boxing (Pao Chui), is the most explosive and physically demanding routine in the Chen Style curriculum. It is designed for practitioners who have already built a solid internal foundation and are ready to express that power through aggressive, "cannon-like" strikes. This DVD offers a detailed exploration of the routine’s fierce and rapid movements, which are characterized by the spirit of a "tiger descending a mountain."

Technique-wise, New Frame II focuses on plucking, splitting, elbowing, and leaning. The curriculum emphasizes the release of power (Fajin), stamping, and quick dodging. Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei teaches the student how to "let the hand lead the body," using agile footwork and steady stances to ensure that the explosive force is both integrated and devastating. This routine is a scientific study of high-intensity combat, requiring the practitioner to maintain a high-spirited martial attitude while executing complex biomechanical maneuvers.

Value-wise, practicing New Frame II lies in its ability to develop extraordinary physical power, speed, and martial spirit. It provides the practitioner with a set of high-level tools for self-defense, acting as the pinnacle of combat training within the New Frame tradition. The intensity of the routine makes it a powerful cardiovascular workout and a means of building a core like iron. This DVD is a vital resource for anyone committed to mastering the "hard" side of Chen Style Tai Chi, providing professional instruction that ensures the art’s combat integrity is maintained.
