HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Chen Style Taijiquan Old Frame Routine II, famously known as Pao Chui or Cannon Fist, is the dynamic counterpart to the more meditative First Routine. Refined by the 14th generation master Chen Changxing, this routine preserves the high-impact combat applications of the Chen family. Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei, a 19th generation successor and one of the 'Four Tigers of Chenjiagou,' presents this work as a definitive archival record. This routine is characterized by its fierce momentum, likened to a 'fierce tiger descending the mountain,' and serves as the primary method for training martial ferocity within the traditional system.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The technical core of Routine II is the mastery of Explosive Power (Fa-Jin) and Stamping (Zhen Jiao). Unlike the continuous flow of the First Routine, Cannon Fist requires sudden releases of energy through a highly coordinated Kinetic Chain. Master Chen emphasizes the 'Spring and Quiver' (Song Huo Dan Dou) mechanic, where the body acts as a compressed spring. The movement is governed by the Dantian, ensuring that internal pressure is transformed into external impact without losing structural integrity. This DVD explores the 'Lightning-like' transitions and the 'Invincible Might' of integrated body mechanics.
TECHNICAL ROUTINE AND APPLICATIONS
The choreography centers on the 'Four Corner Hands' (Cai, Lie, Zhou, Kao—Pull, Split, Elbow, and Lean), which are essential for close-quarters combat. Throughout the Technical Routine, Master Chen demonstrates how to integrate hardness with softness, ensuring that even the most vigorous strike contains a core of relaxation. The training includes 'Scurrying and Jumping' (Cuan Beng Tiao Yue), which develops the agility required for realistic martial engagement. Each posture is analyzed for its combat application, showing how the 'Twine Force' (Chan Si Jin) is used to neutralize and counter-attack with thunderous force.
LINEAGE AUTHORITY
As a premier representative of the Chen Village lineage, Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei’s instruction is fact-driven and avoids mystical hyperbole. This 2-DVD set provides a professional standard for practitioners worldwide. By following the 'Adhere and Follow' principles within a high-speed context, students learn to maintain 'Body-Mind Integration' under pressure. This archive is an indispensable resource for those seeking to understand the 'Internal Alchemy' of power generation and the authentic technical standards of the Chen family’s most explosive empty-hand form.

Chen Zhenglei : A Comprehensive Overview of Martial Arts Mastery and Lineage
Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei is one of the most prominent figures in modern Chinese martial arts. He is a 19th-generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan and is officially recognized as one of the "Top Ten Martial Arts Masters of Contemporary China." His work has been instrumental in transforming Tai Chi from a local village tradition into a global phenomenon.
1. Lineage & Heritage
Chen Zhenglei’s background represents the purest direct descent of the Chen family traditions:
Chen-Style Taijiquan: Born in Chenjiagou (the birthplace of Tai Chi), he was trained from a young age by his uncle, the legendary Grandmaster Chen Zhaopei, and later by Grandmaster Chen Zhaokui. This dual heritage allowed him to master both the "Old Frame" (Lao Jia) and "New Frame" (Xin Jia) systems.
The "Four Tigers" of Chen Village: He is celebrated as one of the "Four Buddha Attendants" (commonly known as the Four Tigers) of Chenjiagou, the four masters responsible for reviving and preserving Chen-style Tai Chi after the Cultural Revolution.
Comprehensive Mastery: Beyond the empty-hand forms, he is a master of the Taiji Spear, Taiji Sword, and the specialized "Push Hands" (Tui Shou) sensitivity training.
2. Major Contributions & Achievements
Global Pedagogy: As the founder of the Chen Zhenglei Taijiquan Federation, he has established a massive network of schools across North America, Europe, and Asia. He is a primary architect of the standardized teaching methods used in modern Tai Chi education.
Literary & Visual Legacy: He has authored numerous definitive works, including "Chen Family Taijiquan: Theory and Practice," and has produced an extensive library of instructional media. His books and videos are considered the "Gold Standard" for practitioners seeking the authentic Chenjiagou curriculum.
National Recognition: He holds the highest rank (9th Duan) from the Chinese Wushu Association and has served as a senior consultant for various national and international martial arts organizations.
3. Technical Style & Martial Characteristics
Grandmaster Chen’s performance is often cited as the textbook definition of the Chen style:
Silk Reeling (Chan Si Gong): His movements exemplify the continuous, spiral energy that is the hallmark of the Chen system.
Dynamic Contrast: His style perfectly balances Yin and Yang—moving as smoothly as flowing water one moment, followed by sudden, thunderous Fa Li (Explosive Power) the next.
Scientific Systematization: He is credited with breaking down the esoteric "internal" concepts of Tai Chi into logical, step-by-step training modules suitable for modern students, regardless of their cultural background.
HERITAGE ARCHIVE: This instructional media is part of the Chinoiserie2008 Traditional Wushu Collection. Our mission is to preserve the authentic lineage and technical standards of Chinese martial arts through systematic digital documentation.
