LINEAGE AND TRADITION
Chen Style Taijiquan is the oldest and the progenitor of all Tai Chi styles, originating in Chenjiagou (Chen Village). This instructional series is presented by Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, the 19th direct line descendant of the Chen family and a globally recognized guardian of the art. Chansigong, or Silk Reeling Exercise, is the most critical fundamental training in the Chen system. It is the method through which practitioners develop the unique Spiral Power (Chansi Jin) that characterizes the style. Without a deep understanding of Chansigong, the complex forms of Taijiquan remain merely external movements. Master Chen Xiaowang brings his unparalleled expertise to explain these internal mechanics with scientific precision.
THE MECHANICS OF Silk Reeling
In Part 1 of this series, the focus is on the 'Direct Axis' (顺向中轴) of the Dantian. Silk Reeling is based on the biological principle of spiral motion, which is found throughout nature. Master Chen explains how the movement originates in the Dantian (the body's energetic and physical center) and radiates outward to the extremities through a series of interconnected rotations. This 'Direct Axis' training focuses on the vertical and forward-backward alignment of the spine and core, ensuring that the body's central pillar remains stable while the limbs execute complex, spiraling paths. This creates a state of 'Sectional Connection' (Jie Jie Guan Chuan), where force is transmitted without loss through every joint.
DANTIAN AS THE PIVOT
The Dantian is the heart of Chansigong. Master Chen demonstrates how every movement, no matter how small, must be initiated by the rotation of the pelvic region and the core. By focusing on the direct axis, the practitioner learns to coordinate the breathing with the internal opening and closing of the joints. This neigong (internal work) builds a powerful foundation of 'Hunyuan' power. The exercises are designed to remove blockages in the body's kinetic chain, allowing the 'Qi' and physical force to flow smoothly. The result is a movement quality that is both soft and incredibly powerful, capable of neutralizing external force through spiraling redirection.
PRACTICAL BENEFITS
Practicing Chansigong provides dual benefits for health and combat. From a health perspective, the continuous spiral motion massages the internal organs, improves joint mobility, and enhances circulation. For the martial artist, it develops the 'Spiral Force' (Chansi Jin) necessary for 'Fa-Jin' (explosive power) and 'Hua-Jin' (neutralizing power). Master Chen Xiaowang emphasizes that 'if you understand Silk Reeling, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.' This DVD provides the essential roadmap for any practitioner wishing to move beyond the surface of Taijiquan and enter the realm of true internal mastery.

"Biographical Profile: Chen Xiaowang
19th Generation Lineage Holder and Global Icon of Chen-style Taijiquan
Chen Xiaowang, born in 1945 in Chenjiagou, Henan Province, is the 19th generation lineage holder of Chen-style Taijiquan. As the grandson of the legendary Grandmaster Chen Fake, he is a towering figure in the martial arts world, recognized as a National-level Representative Inheritor of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Taijiquan.
Martial Arts Background: Direct Lineage and Rigorous Cultivation
Born into the birthplace of Taijiquan, Chen Xiaowang began his training at a very young age under the guidance of his father, Chen Zhaoxu, and later under his uncles Chen Zhaopi and Chen Zhaokui. His upbringing was defined by the strict traditional standards of the Chen family. Through decades of ascetic-like practice, he mastered the Old Frame (Laojia), New Frame (Xinjia), and the intricate Silk Reeling (Chansijin) power generation that defines the style.
Legacy and Contribution: Spreading Taiji Across the Continents
In the 1980s, Chen Xiaowang achieved unprecedented success in national competitions, winning consecutive gold medals. He later established the Chen Xiaowang World Taijiquan Association, which has grown into one of the largest martial arts organizations globally. By traveling to over 30 countries, he has been instrumental in transforming Chen-style Taijiquan from a village tradition into a global health and martial phenomenon, mentoring thousands of students worldwide.
Artistic Style: Profound Heaviness and Silk-Reeling Precision
His martial style is characterized by a profound sense of ""heaviness"" and internal stability, often described as being as immovable as a mountain. His movements embody the perfect integration of hardness and softness, with power originating from the core and manifesting through continuous, spiral energy. He emphasizes the cultivation of ""Dan Tian"" breath and the preservation of the original combat applications of Taijiquan, maintaining a balance between health cultivation and martial efficacy."
