HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE AUTHORITY
The Chen Style Taijiquan Small Frame Routine II, famously known as 'Cannon Boxing' (Pao Chui), is the more aggressive and explosive counterpart to the foundational first routine. While Routine I focuses on the cultivation of internal structure and softness, Routine II is designed to express that power through rapid, powerful strikes and dynamic footwork. This instructional DVD is presented by Master Chen Yongfu, an 11th-generation successor of the Chen tradition and a leading authority on the Small Frame (Xiao Jia) lineage. Master Chen emphasizes that Pao Chui should only be studied after a solid foundation in Routine I has been established, as it requires the practitioner to have already 'ridded themselves of stiffness and sought softness.' This program is a definitive guide to the 'Mighty and Swift' energy of the Chen family, preserving the authentic combat principles that have made this style legendary for centuries.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CANNON BOXING
Cannon Boxing is characterized by its emphasis on 'Hardness with Gentleness Contained Within.' The Technical Routine is a complex Cohesive Choreography that features rapid punches, powerful elbow strikes, and explosive leaps. Master Chen Yongfu provides a meticulous breakdown of the form, focusing on the '弹抖' (vibrational and elastic) quality of the movements. Unlike the slower pace of Routine I, Pao Chui demands '周身相随' (the whole body following) and '全身一动无有不动' (when one part moves, every part moves). The Form & Applications are taught with a focus on '蓄发兼备' (simultaneous storage and release), ensuring that the practitioner can transition from a defensive posture to a devastating strike in a fraction of a second. The routine is a study in the tactical application of Taijiquan's internal power in a high-intensity combat scenario.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES AND FA-JIN
The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) in Cannon Boxing is the ultimate test of a practitioner's biomechanical efficiency. Master Chen explains that the power must be 'complete in one breath' and supported by a stable 'Internal Root.' The training focuses on the coordination of '脚弹' (foot springing) and '腰转' (waist rotation) to create a 'Whipping' effect throughout the body. A critical warning provided by Master Chen is the danger of 'stiffness' (硬一条), which can lead to 'upper heavy and lower unstable' (上重下浮) and internal energy blockages. To avoid these issues, the practitioner must maintain the 'Combination of Inside and Outside' and ensure that the breath is perfectly synchronized with the movement. This DVD provides specific Technical Routines to develop the elasticity and explosive speed necessary for Pao Chui without compromising the practitioner's health or structural integrity.
COMBAT MASTERY AND INTERNAL HARMONY
The ultimate goal of Chen Style Cannon Boxing is the mastery of internal power in its most dynamic form. Master Chen Yongfu illustrates the practical combat applications of the routine, showing how the explosive strikes of Pao Chui can be used to overwhelm an opponent's defense. The training emphasizes the 'Agreement of Spirit and Form,' where the practitioner's martial intent (Yi) is fully expressed through their physical actions. This DVD is an essential resource for any advanced Tai Chi practitioner looking to complete their understanding of the Chen system. By mastering the Small Frame Routine II, the student achieves a state of 'Fluid Structure' that is both powerful and adaptable. Master Chen's clear, expert instruction ensures that the practitioner embodies the true spirit of the 'Cannon,' achieving a state of harmony between the explosive force of the exterior and the profound tranquility of the interior.

Chen Yongfu: A Pragmatic Master and Custodian of Chen-Style Taijiquan
1. Authentic Lineage and Mastery
Master Chen Yongfu is an 11th-generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan. Born in Chenjiagou, the birthplace of Tai Chi, he inherited a profound martial legacy. His foundation was forged under the direct tutelage of the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui, famously known as the "God of Fist." As the representative student of the era when Chen Zhaokui reintroduced the "Large Frame" (New Frame and Erlu) to Chenjiagou, Master Chen's practice perfectly preserves his mentor’s signature style: structurally precise, powerfully cohesive, and specialized in sophisticated Qin-na (seizing) techniques.
2. A Decade of Tempering: Mastery Through Discipline
Free from mystical exaggeration, Chen Yongfu’s journey is defined by sheer perseverance. During his formative years in Chenjiagou, his obsession with perfection earned him a reputation as a "Martial Enthusiast." Legend has it he practiced the "Hidden Hand Punch" (Yan Shou Gong Chui) under trees until complete physical exhaustion, a rigor that built the foundation of his immense internal power. Despite his status, he remains a humble seeker, frequently traveling to exchange skills with masters nationwide to validate the biomechanical principles of Tai Chi through practical application.
3. Combat-Oriented Philosophy
Master Chen is a staunch opponent of "Tai Chi as mere gymnastics." His teaching philosophy is anchored in the principle of "Every posture must have a purpose." He believes that without an understanding of combat application, the art loses its soul. He excels at demystifying complex theories through simple mechanical analogies—such as comparing "Silk Reeling" (Chan Si Jin) to the penetrative force of a drill—making the profound wisdom of Tai Chi accessible and practical.
4. Industry Recognition: The Low-Key Guardian
Within the martial arts community, Chen Yongfu is revered as a "Guardian" who balances exceptional skill with high moral character. Shunning commercial hype, he remains dedicated to grassroots teaching in Wenxian and across China, offering his "inner-door" knowledge without reservation. Furthermore, his efforts in archiving Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui’s original manuals and footage have provided invaluable historical evidence for the study and preservation of Chen-style Taijiquan. He embodies the most grounded and sincere spirit of the elder generation of Chenjiagou masters.
