COMPLETE CURRICULUM LIST:
1. Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame Routine I (6 DVDs)
2. Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame Routine II Cannon Hammer (4 DVDs)
3. Chen Style Taiji Sword (1 DVD)
HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SCIENTIFIC LINEAGE
Chen Style Taijiquan is the ancestral root of all Tai Chi systems, and the 'New Frame' (Xin Jia) represents its most sophisticated evolution, emphasizing intricate silk-reeling and overt power emission. This 11-DVD collection features the revolutionary 'New Frame' curriculum as passed down by Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui. Historically, the Chen family art was a highly guarded secret, emphasizing 'Actual Combat Technique' over mere health exercise. This set is a definitive archive that bridges the gap between ancient heritage and modern biomechanical understanding. It moves beyond esoteric mysticism, analyzing movements through the lens of physics and physiology. This scientific approach ensures that the 'Internal Power' of the Chen lineage remains logical, tangible, and highly effective for modern practitioners.
THE ARCHITECTURE OF NEW FRAME AND Cannon Hammer
The collection covers the entire spectrum of the New Frame system. Routine I (Xin Jia Yi Lu) establishes the foundation of Silk Reeling and structural integrity, containing the fundamental DNA of the style's movement patterns. Routine II (Pao Chui/Cannon Hammer) introduces high-velocity explosive power and aggressive combat tactics, characterized by rapid jumps and sudden changes in direction. The transition from the fluid, continuous movements of the first routine to the thunderous, projectile-like strikes of the second routine offers a complete education in the duality of Internal Power. A central pillar of this training is the 'Leading Force by Tip Section and Folding from Both Tips' theory. This principle explains how Internal Power is initiated at the extremities and coordinated through the joints to produce a spiraling, whip-like Fa-Jin (Explosive Power).
WEAPONRY AND COMBAT APPLICATION
The set culminates in the Chen Style Taiji Sword, the 'King of Short Weapons.' Here, the concept of 'Body-Sword Integration' (Shen Jian He Yi) is paramount, as the blade becomes an extension of the practitioner's skeletal structure and internal energy. The training emphasizes 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) in both empty-hand and weapon applications, teaching students to neutralize an opponent's momentum with minimal effort—the classic principle of 'using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.' This 11-DVD curriculum is a scientific pathway to achieving martial excellence, transforming ancient tradition into a functional and devastating combat system. Through consistent practice, the student develops the 'Neuromuscular Coordination' and 'Internal Root' required for high-level Pushing Hands (Tui Shou) and actual combat engagement, ensuring every movement is backed by the 'Hunyuan' force.

Background and Biography of Master Zhang Zhijun
Master Zhang Zhijun is one of the most influential contemporary figures in Chen-style Taijiquan. He is particularly renowned for integrating modern mechanics with traditional martial arts techniques. His life story reflects the evolution of a traditional martial artist from a "disciplined practitioner" to a "scientific researcher."
1. Lineage and Rigorous Training
Born in 1946 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, Zhang Zhijun’s early martial arts journey followed a traditional path. In 1970, he became a formal disciple of the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui.
Dedicated Practice: During the period when Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui taught in Zhengzhou, Zhang was known for his extreme dedication. He didn't just master the forms; he inherited the meticulous "application-based" teaching style that Chen Zhaokui was famous for.
Preserving Tradition: At a time when traditional martial arts faced potential discontinuity, Zhang became one of the key disciples to systematically preserve and organize the late-style curriculum of Chen Zhaokui.
2. Core Contributions: The "Three-Section Theory"
Zhang’s greatest contribution to Chen-style Taijiquan lies in the systematization and modernization of its theories.
Mechanical Analysis: Moving beyond vague, esoteric descriptions (like "Qi flow" or "Spirit"), Zhang sought to analyze movements using physics, physiology, and mechanics (such as leverage, tangents, and spirals).
The Three-Section Theory: He systematically introduced the principle of "The tip leads, the middle follows, and the root drives." He emphasizes that the hand is the "tip of the tips," using subtle rotations of the fingers and palms to control the opponent’s center of gravity—a signature technique that is highly recognizable in the Taiji community today.
3. "Taijiquan as a Science"
The most positive aspect of Zhang’s career is his commitment to the truth and practical application.
Practical Validation: He has consistently maintained that Taijiquan must retain its self-defense functionality. Throughout the 1980s and beyond, he gained widespread respect for his precise techniques and explosive power (Fa Li).
Opposing Mysticism: His teaching style is pragmatic, advocating that techniques must be "visible, tangible, and correctable." He often demonstrates how the seemingly mysterious concept of "four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds" is actually a simple combination of mechanical vectors.
4. Legacy and Status
Often hailed as a leader of the "Chen-style Taijiquan New Frame" (Xin Jia), Zhang has spent decades teaching in Chongqing and other regions. He has trained countless martial artists and has been instrumental in promoting Taijiquan internationally across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Summary:
Zhang Zhijun’s life is a journey of extracting the essence of traditional martial arts and re-coding it for the modern world. More than just a skilled practitioner, he functions like an "engineer" of martial arts, ensuring that Chen-style Taijiquan remains logical, vital, and persuasive in a modern scientific context.
