HISTORICAL CONTEXT & LINEAGE
Chen Style Taijiquan stands as the primordial source of all Tai Chi lineages, originating in the Chen Family Village of Henan Province. This 15-DVD collection represents the life's work of Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou (1934–2015), a 19th-generation successor and a primary disciple of the legendary Chen Zhaopi. Master Chen was a staunch defender of the 'Ancient-Respected' (Zun Gu) traditions, prioritizing the 'Old Frame' (Lao Jia) or 'Big Frame' system codified by the 14th-generation ancestor Chen Changxing. This lineage is celebrated for preserving the original 'Kung Fu Frame,' which emphasizes rigorous structural training and the cultivation of functional Internal Power over modern aesthetic performance. This archive serves as a definitive record of the Chen village heritage, bridging the gap between the rural roots of the art and its global dissemination.

TECHNICAL FORMS & COHESIVE CHOREOGRAPHY
The collection encompasses the entire Chen Style curriculum in unprecedented depth. It begins with the foundational Lao Jia Yi Lu (Old Frame Routine I), which spans three DVDs to ensure every nuance of 'Silk Reeling' and structural alignment is mastered. It then progresses to the advanced Lao Jia Er Lu (Cannon Hammer), known for its compact, violent, and explosive nature. The choreography across these routines is a masterclass in 'Fluid Structure,' where movements alternate between serene gathering phases and sudden, thunderous discharges of energy. Beyond barehanded forms, the set provides exhaustive instruction in the Chen family's extensive weapon arsenal: the elegant and precise Single and Double Swords, the vigorous and 'mighty-swift' Single and Double Broadswords, the specialized Pear Flower Spear and White Ape Cudgel synthesis, and the heavy, imposing Spring and Autumn Falchion. Each 'Technical Routine' is deconstructed through a rigorous pedagogical lens, focusing on 'Form & Applications' logic to ensure the practitioner understands the martial intent behind every spiral, transition, and strike.
BIOMECHANICS & INTERNAL ALCHEMY
From a biomechanical perspective, this system is a study in 'Spiral Power' (Chan-Si-Jin) and 'Structural Integrity.' Master Chen Qingzhou emphasizes the 'Dantian Internal Rotation' as the engine for all movement. The collection includes rare auxiliary training modules like the Xinggong Taiji Ball and the Shaking Pole, which are essential for building the 'Internal Root' and 'Explosive Power' (Fa-Jin). These methods focus on 'Neuromuscular Coordination,' teaching the practitioner to synchronize breath, intent (Yi), and the body's kinetic chain. This 'Internal Alchemy' transforms the physical frame into a resilient medium capable of emitting 'Elastic Relaxation Force,' a hallmark of the authentic Chen lineage.
PRACTICAL VALUE & COMBAT STRATEGY
The strategy of Chen Style Taijiquan is rooted in 'Adhere and Follow' (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) and the neutralization of force. The collection includes detailed Pushing Hands (Tui Shou) and Xinggong Stick training, which develop the tactile sensitivity required for close-quarters engagement. The tactical focus is on 'occupying the center' and using spiral energy to redirect an opponent's momentum. By mastering these 15 volumes, the student achieves a state of 'Agreement in Spirit and Appearance,' where Internal Power is seamlessly expressed through external form. This archive is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a scientific and culturally authentic pathway to martial excellence.

Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou (1934–2015)
Martial Arts Background & Biography
Grandmaster Chen Qingzhou was a towering figure in the 11th generation of Chen-style Taijiquan. He is revered not only for his profound internal martial power but also for his role as a steadfast guardian of the Lao Jia (Old Frame) system during a critical era of transition in Chinese martial arts history.
A Legacy of the "Old Frame":
Chen Qingzhou’s lineage was forged under the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaopi, the man credited with restoring the authentic Chen family curriculum to Chenjiagou in the mid-20th century. As one of Chen Zhaopi’s most dedicated disciples, Chen Qingzhou mastered the intricate Yi Lu (First Routine), the explosive Er Lu (Cannon Fist), and the full array of traditional weaponry. His practice was characterized by a "back-to-basics" philosophy, prioritizing structural integrity over modern performance aesthetics.
The Power of Practicality and "Gongfu":
Known as a "practicalist," Master Chen believed that Taijiquan’s true value lay in its functional application and internal cultivation. He was a master of Tuishou (Push Hands), renowned for his unshakable root and the ability to discharge explosive force (Fa Li) with startling efficiency. He famously advocated that there are no shortcuts in Taiji; authenticity is earned through the grueling accumulation of "Gongfu"—the relentless refinement of body and mind over decades.
Global Stewardship and Character:
Despite his deep roots in the rural soil of Henan, Chen Qingzhou became a global ambassador for the art. He founded the Chen Qingzhou Taijiquan School and spent his later years traveling across North America and Asia to ensure the Old Frame’s survival. Through his seminal books and his humble, scholarly demeanor, he demystified the art’s combat applications for a new generation. He remains a symbol of Martial Virtue (Wude), respected as much for his integrity and kindness as for his formidable skills.
