HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND THE XIN JIA EVOLUTION
Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame Routine One (Xin Jia Yi Lu) represents the sophisticated evolution of the Chen family art, primarily attributed to the legendary 17th generation master Chen Fake. While the Old Frame (Lao Jia) focuses on large, expansive movements, the New Frame introduces more intricate spirals, smaller circles, and more frequent expressions of Internal Power. This DVD features Grandmaster Zhu Tiancai, one of the 'Four Buddhas' of Chenjiagou, who provides an authoritative transmission of this advanced Technical Routine. The New Frame is often considered the 'Martial' version of the style, requiring a higher degree of coordination and a deeper understanding of the body's internal kinetic chains.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SPIRALING FORCE
Xin Jia Yi Lu is characterized by its 'Wide and Stable' stances, yet it is incredibly dynamic in its internal execution. The routine emphasizes the 'Four Square' hand techniques—Ward-off (Peng), Deflect (Lu), Squeeze (Ji), and Press (An)—but adds a layer of complexity through constant 'Chest and Waist' changes. The movements are described as having an 'Obvious Elasticity,' where the practitioner's body acts like a coiled spring. A key feature of this routine is the 'Revolving of the Wrist, Ankle, and Knee,' ensuring that the spiraling energy (Chan Si Jin) is present in every joint. This creates a 'Fluid Structure' that is both aesthetically beautiful and martially devastating.
BIO-MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT AND INTERNAL ALCHEMY
The bio-mechanics of the New Frame require the practitioner to use the waist as the primary axis, with the body leading the hands in a series of continuous, arc-like paths. Grandmaster Zhu explains the 'Spiraling Inner Energy' in detail, showing how the rotation of the ankles and knees provides the ground force necessary for the upper body's expressions. The routine demands a high level of 'Body-Mind Integration,' where the intent (Yi) guides the Qi through the meridians. This process of 'Internal Alchemy' not only builds martial power but also promotes profound health benefits by stimulating the internal organs and improving joint mobility.
PRACTICE AND COMBAT APPLICATIONS
This instructional series provides a comprehensive breakdown of the 83 stances that comprise the New Frame Routine One. Master Zhu focuses on the 'Technical Routine' details that distinguish the New Frame from other styles, such as the subtle 'Folding' of the chest and the precise timing of 'Fa-Jin' (Explosive Force). The DVD illustrates how the intricate spirals are used in combat to trap, neutralize, and strike an opponent with minimal effort. With over 270 minutes of detailed instruction, this set is the definitive guide for any martial artist wishing to master the advanced mechanics of the Chen Style New Frame.

Grandmaster Zhu Tiancai
"Biographical Profile: Zhu Tiancai
19th Generation Master of Chen-style Taijiquan and the Father of Taiji in Singapore
Zhu Tiancai, born in 1944 in Xi'an and raised in Chenjiagou, is a 19th generation successor of Chen-style Taijiquan. As one of the celebrated ""Four Buddha Attendants"" (四大金刚), he is a National-level Representative Inheritor of Intangible Cultural Heritage and has been a driving force in the internationalization of Taijiquan for over four decades.
Martial Arts Background: Dual Lineage and Artistic Refinement
Growing up in the cradle of Taiji, Zhu Tiancai was mentored by the legendary Chen Zhaopi and later refined his skills under Chen Zhaokui. This background provided him with a comprehensive mastery of both the Old Frame (Laojia) and New Frame (Xinjia). His training was characterized by a meticulous attention to the rhythmic and artistic qualities of the art, blending the rigorous martial requirements of the Chen family with a deep understanding of its cultural and health-giving properties.
Legacy and Contribution: A Bridge to Southeast Asia and Beyond
Master Zhu is widely honored as the ""Father of Taiji in Singapore,"" having spent significant time since the early 1980s teaching and establishing a robust Taiji community in Southeast Asia. He was one of the first masters to create systematic instructional videos and books, making the complex movements of Chen-style Taijiquan accessible to a global audience. His efforts have been instrumental in fostering cultural exchange and promoting Taijiquan as a universal practice for health and harmony.
Artistic Style: Elegant Fluidity and Rhythmic Precision
His style is noted for its exceptional fluidity, elegance, and distinct rhythmic changes. Zhu Tiancai emphasizes the ""softness"" within Chen-style Taijiquan, advocating for a practice that is as graceful as a flowing river yet possesses the underlying strength of silk-reeling power. He focuses on the natural coordination of the body and the cultivation of internal energy, making his execution of the forms both a formidable martial display and a beautiful artistic performance."
