HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND MASTER LINEAGE
Natural Taijiquan (Ziran Taijiquan) represents a profound evolution within the internal martial arts landscape, emphasizing a return to the primordial principles of the Dao. This comprehensive 12-DVD collection is presented by the esteemed Master Zhu Datong, a celebrated contemporary Taijiquan theorist and grandmaster. Born in Beijing in 1932 and a prized disciple of the Wu-style master Yang Yuting, Zhu Datong is renowned globally as the 'Tai Chi Decoder.' His teaching transcends the mere repetition of forms, focusing instead on the deep laws of body mechanics and conscious intent. This series encapsulates his life's work, offering a professional guide to the technical excellence and historical significance of a lineage that balances martial efficiency with profound health cultivation. The routine follows the principle of Nine-Nine Returning to Truth, integrating the heart, spirit, mind, and energy into a unified whole, ensuring that the authentic spirit of the Natural Way is preserved for practitioners worldwide.

BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES AND INTERNAL ALCHEMY
The core of this Technical Routine is the Analysis of Yin-Yang Structure. Biomechanically, the practitioner is taught to maintain a stable, rooted lower gate while the upper body remains exceptionally light and agile. The kinetic chain is initiated by the mind's intent (Yi), which directs the flow of internal energy (Qi) through the joints and fascia. Unlike external styles that rely on muscular tension, Natural Taijiquan emphasizes the use of consciousness to guide movement, a principle known as using intent rather than force. Each movement is executed in a continuous arc, mimicking the soft yet unstoppable power of water. The routine focuses on the Nine Relaxing and Ten Needs to ensure that the body is structurally aligned to facilitate maximum energetic efficiency. This training develops a Fluid Structure that is both resilient and responsive to external stimuli, preparing the body for the sudden, unified releases of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power).
MARTIAL APPLICATION AND HEALTH CULTIVATION
While the forms appear slow and meditative, they build the essential foundation for practical combat. The practice of Adhere and Follow (Zhan Nian Lian Sui) is integrated into every movement, training the body to sense and neutralize external forces passively. However, the martial application is never separated from the health benefits. The smooth, continuous motion acts as a form of moving meditation that strengthens the internal organs and calms the spirit. Master Zhu’s instruction provides a clear path for students to transition from basic movements to the sophisticated application of internal power. This 12-DVD set is an essential resource for anyone seeking to master the intersection of martial arts, philosophy, and health science, offering a professional, fact-driven guide to achieving elite martial proficiency and mental clarity.

Master Zhu Datong
Biographical Profile: Zhu Datong
The Philosopher of "Song" (Relaxation) and Master of Taiji Theory
Zhu Datong, born in Beijing in 1932, is a celebrated contemporary Taijiquan theorist and grandmaster. A prized disciple of the Wu-style master Yang Yuting, he is renowned for his profound analysis and practical mastery of "Song" (relaxation) and "Kong" (emptiness), earning him the reputation of the "Tai Chi Decoder."
Martial Arts Background: Seeking the Essence of Softness
Master Zhu studied under several martial arts titans from a young age, inheriting the authentic essence of Wu-style Taijiquan. Throughout decades of dedicated practice, he transcended the mere repetition of forms to focus on the laws of body mechanics and conscious intent. He introduced the "True Relaxation" methodology, advocating that Taijiquan is a "movement of consciousness" rather than simple physical collision. His mastery of internal neutralizing power and the application of "ethereal upward intent" is peerless, particularly in Push Hands, where he embodies the principle of "non-resistance and formlessness."
Legacy and Contribution: Elevating Contemporary Taiji Theory
Master Zhu’s greatest contribution lies in his revolutionary theoretical insights. His seminal works, such as The Secret of Taijiquan and Secrets of Taiji Internal Power, use accessible language to decode ancient scriptures, dispelling long-standing myths and misconceptions. By hosting seminars across China and advocating for "Healthy and Civilized Taiji," his theoretical framework has guided countless seekers, significantly elevating the intellectual standards of the contemporary Tai Chi community.
Artistic Style: Serene, Ethereal, and Transcendent
His performance style conveys a sense of otherworldly beauty. His movements are light yet profound, creating a visual impression of a practitioner "moving within the breath, and the breath moving within the man." He emphasizes that "practicing Taiji is a process of enjoying life." This profound synthesis of philosophy and movement has established him as a unique thinker and grandmaster in the modern martial arts landscape.
