HISTORICAL CONTEXT & LINEAGE
The Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Application series represents a monumental preservation of the technical legacy of Grandmaster Chen Fake, the 17th-generation standard-bearer who revolutionized the art in Beijing. This 4-DVD collection is curated and demonstrated by Master Wu Shijun, a distinguished 11th-generation successor and 8th Duan master. Master Wu, a direct disciple of the late Grandmaster Li Ziming and a student of the authentic Chen family curriculum, bridges the gap between the 'Old Flavor' of the early 20th century and modern martial science. The centerpiece of this collection is the rare 66-form routine, synthesized by Master Chen Fake in his later years to distill the essence of the Old Frame (Lao Jia) Routines I and II into a non-repeating, high-efficiency combat system. This collection ensures that the historical heritage of the Chen Fake Lineage—emphasizing functional combat over aesthetic display—is preserved with absolute academic rigor.
FULL LIST OF INCLUDED TITLES (4 DVDS):
1. Chen Style Taiji 66 Forms & 176 Combat Applications (2-DVD Set)
2. Forty-form Chen Style Taiji Single Broadsword
3. Sixty-two Form Chen Style Taiji Single Sword
TECHNICAL FORM & APPLICATIONS
This comprehensive curriculum is structured into three major components: the 66 Forms, the Forty-form Broadsword, and the Sixty-two Form Single Sword. The barehanded section is a masterclass in Technical Routine, featuring 176 distinct Applied Methods of Skillful Attack. Each movement is deconstructed to reveal its combat logic, covering neutralizing (Hua-Jin), explosive discharge (Fa-Jin), and sophisticated takedowns (Die Fang). The weaponry section explores the contrasting energies of the broadsword and the straight sword. The Forty-form Broadsword, known as the 'Marshal of all Weapons,' emphasizes a 'Marshal's Vigor' with its hacking, chopping, and twining methods. In contrast, the Sixty-two Form Single Sword embodies the 'Swimming Dragon' aesthetic, focusing on precise thrusting and spiraling redirections. The choreography across all routines is a Fluid Structure that prioritizes Body-Sword Integration and seamless transitions.
BIOMECHANICS & INTERNAL ALCHEMY
From a biomechanical perspective, this system is a profound study in Chan Si Jin (Spiraling Energy) and Structural Integrity. Master Wu Shijun emphasizes the principle of 'Moving Softly Like Tearing Cotton' (Dong Ru Si Mian), where the body remains supple while the internal power is gathered. The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) relies on the 'Dynamic Chain' of the entire body, where the outburst of energy from the Dantian triggers simultaneous movement in all limbs. The training focuses on Neuromuscular Coordination, requiring the practitioner to be 'Sensitive as a cat pouncing on a rat' and 'Steady as a bear walking on the grass.' This Internal Alchemy involves the coordination of breath and intent (Yi), ensuring that the force produced is both efficient and devastating.
PRACTICAL VALUE & COMBAT STRATEGY
The ultimate goal of this collection is the development of functional Combat Application skills through the principles of Adhere and Follow (Zhan Lian Lian Sui). Master Wu illustrates the tactical logic of 'using a curve to neutralize a straight line,' teaching the practitioner to redirect an opponent's momentum without breaking contact. The 176 applications provide a comprehensive roadmap for self-defense, spanning from joint manipulation (Qin Na) to high-impact striking. This 4-DVD set is an essential resource for serious martial artists seeking a scientific and culturally rich pathway to achieving martial excellence in the traditional Chen Style Taijiquan system.

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.
