HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND THE CHEN FAKE LEGACY
This program is a profound tribute to the legacy of Grandmaster Chen Fake, the 17th-generation standard-bearer of Chen-style Taijiquan, commemorating the 118th anniversary of his birth. The 'Sixty-sixth Form' presented here is a unique technical routine synthesized by Master Chen Fake in his later years for his personal practice. It represents a sophisticated integration of the 'Old Frame' (Lao Jia) Routine I and II, selecting non-repeating movements to create a dense, high-efficiency combat system. Master Wu Shijun, an 11th-generation successor and a renowned martial artist, provides the 'Instructional' guidance for this set, which includes 176 distinct 'Combat Applications.' This DVD is a vital resource for understanding the 'Practical Application' of Chen-style Taiji as a functional martial art rather than just a health exercise.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES: THE SIXTY-SIXTH FORM
The 'Sixty-sixth Form' is characterized by its 'Fluid Structure' and the principle of 'Moving Softly Like Tearing Cotton' (Dong Ru Si Mian). Master Wu Shijun emphasizes the rule of 'Will at Moving Forward' (Yi Zai Dong Qian), where the 'Mind-Intent' precedes the physical action. The routine utilizes 'Fold and Twist' movements to generate 'Explosive Force' (Fa-Jin) from the 'Internal Energy' (Nei Qi). The biomechanics focus on 'Body-Mind Integration,' where the outburst of energy from the heart and lungs triggers simultaneous movement in all four limbs ('Xin Qi Yi Fa, Si Zhi Jie Dong'). This creates a style that is both 'Classic and Elegant' yet capable of extreme 'Technical Efficiency' in combat. The routine is designed to bring the practitioner to a state of 'Inner Calmness' while maintaining the power of the Chen family tradition.
COMBAT APPLICATIONS AND TECHNICAL DEPTH
With 176 kinds of 'Applied Methods of Skillful Attack,' this program is one of the most comprehensive guides to Taiji 'Sanshou' (Sparring) available. Master Wu Shijun and demonstrator Sun Shengdong break down the 'Combat Logic' behind the movements, showing how the 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Lian Lian Sui) principles are used to neutralize and counter-attack. The set is noted for its technical difficulty and is specifically suited for those with a solid 'Martial Arts Foundation.' It covers 'Explosive Power' (Fa-Jin), 'Neutralizing' (Hua-Jin), and 'Takedowns' (Die Fang), reflecting the 'Ancient and Elegant' yet 'Fierce and Powerful' style of the Chen family. This 2-disc set is an essential 'Lineage' document for practitioners seeking to master the 'Technical Routine' and 'Combat Application' of Chen-style Taijiquan at its most advanced level.

Biographical Profile: Wu Shijun
A Pioneer of Practical Combat and Master of Baguazhang
Wu Shijun, born in Beijing in 1951, is a renowned contemporary martial artist and a National-level Wushu Referee. Distinguished in the martial arts community for his vast knowledge and emphasis on practical combat, he is a premier successor of Cheng-style Baguazhang. His expertise extends across Baji Quan, Chinese Wrestling (Shuai Jiao), and Pigua Zhang, making him a visionary who seamlessly blends traditional techniques with modern combat theory.
Martial Arts Background: Authentic Lineage and Multidisciplinary Mastery
Master Wu’s foundation is rooted in the teachings of the legendary Baguazhang grandmaster Liu Jingru, from whom he inherited the core essence of the Cheng style. He further enriched his repertoire by studying the explosive power of Baji Quan and the intricate grappling of Chinese Wrestling. Having served as a martial arts instructor at prestigious institutions like the People's Public Security University of China, he possesses deep insights into Sanda (free-fighting), Qin Na (grappling), and special forces combat tactics.
Legacy and Contribution: Global Advocate for Functional Wushu
Master Wu is dedicated to the philosophy of "seeking truth in martial arts." Beyond his contributions to drafting competition rules and standardizing traditional styles, he has been a frequent guest instructor in Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. His instructional series on Cheng-style Baguazhang, Baji Quan, and Chinese Wrestling are considered authoritative resources for those seeking the practical applications of traditional Wushu, influencing tens of thousands of practitioners globally.
Artistic Style: Fluid Agility and Explosive Power
His martial style is both aesthetically captivating and formidable. His Baguazhang is characterized by dragon-like movements and wind-like agility, maintaining perfect balance during rapid directional changes. In contrast, his Baji Quan strikes are sharp and explosive, like a mountain collapsing. He advocates that "to practice Wushu is to understand its principles, and to train is to seek the truth," standing as a paragon of the pursuit of martial authenticity.
