HISTORICAL CONTEXT & LINEAGE
The Taiji Xinggong Stick (Taiji Bang) is a rare and highly effective auxiliary instrument within the Chen Style Taijiquan lineage, specifically designed to refine the practitioner's 'Qin Na' (catching and locking) and neutralizing capabilities. Historically, the stick—often made from dense fruit woods and shaped to mimic the human wrist—was used by Chen family masters to develop the specific grip strength and internal sensitivity required for close-quarters grappling. This instructional program is presented by Master Chen Qingzhou, a world-renowned 11th-generation lineage successor of the Chen family. Master Chen is celebrated for his deep understanding of the art's 'Actual Combat' applications and his ability to explain esoteric principles through the lens of biomechanical efficiency. The lineage of the Xinggong Stick traces back to the founding masters of Chen Village, who utilized such tools to cultivate a higher degree of 'Internal Alchemy' and structural precision. Master Chen’s teaching ensures that the historical heritage of this unique training method is preserved for the modern martial artist.
TECHNICAL FORM & APPLICATIONS
The Taiji Xinggong Stick Technical Routine is characterized by its focus on the 'Method of the Hand' and its seamless integration into Pushing Hands (Tui Shou). The choreography is a fluid structure that requires the practitioner to coordinate the movement of the stick with the 'Internal Rotation' of the Dantian. Master Chen Qingzhou provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, showing how the stick is used to simulate an opponent's limb, allowing the practitioner to practice complex 'Na Fa' (catching methods) and their corresponding neutralizations. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is the principle of 'Giving up Self to Follow Others' (She Ji Cong Ren). This requires the practitioner to remain supple and responsive, adapting their technique to the changing circumstances of the engagement. The routine is designed to be practiced as a precursor to San Shou (Free Sparring), providing the student with the technical skills necessary for high-level interactive combat.
BIOMECHANICS & NEUTRALIZATION
From a biomechanical perspective, the Xinggong Stick is a study in 'Structural Integrity' and the physics of joint manipulation. The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) in this style is used to disrupt an opponent's balance and apply leverage to their joints. Master Chen demonstrates how the power must originate from the Dantian and be transmitted through the kinetic chain to the hands. The biomechanics focus on 'Neuromuscular Coordination,' requiring the practitioner to synchronize their breath and intent (Yi) with the subtle rotations of the stick. This focus on 'Internal Alchemy' ensures that the catching and neutralizing actions are performed with minimal physical effort and maximum efficiency. The routine emphasizes the harmony of hardness and softness, where the body remains relaxed until the moment of application, allowing for a sudden and penetrating power emission that can neutralize even the strongest grip.
COMBAT APPLICATION & PRACTICAL VALUE
The Taiji Xinggong Stick and Pushing Hands are practical combat systems designed for real-world tactical scenarios involving grappling and close-range engagement. Master Chen Qingzhou illustrates the 'Actual Combat Technique' of the stick, showing how the skills developed can be directly applied to Pushing Hands and San Shou. The tactical focus is on 'Adhere and Follow,' using the sensitivity developed through the stick to 'listen' to an opponent's energy and redirect their momentum. The practical value of this training extends beyond self-defense, offering profound benefits for wrist and joint health, coordination, and mental focus. By mastering these ancient skills, the student achieves a state of 'Agreement in Spirit and Appearance,' where the mind and body act as a single, unified weapon. This DVD is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the practical value and historical depth of traditional Chen Style Taijiquan, providing a scientific and credible pathway to achieving 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.
