HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE
The Sixty-two Form Chen-style Taiji Single Sword is often described through the poetic metaphor: 'The Broadsword is like a fierce tiger, the Sword is like a swimming dragon.' This routine represents the 'Original Methods' of the Chen family, maintaining an unsophisticated yet profoundly elegant style. Master Wu Shijun, an 11th-generation successor of Chen-style Taijiquan, provides the expert instruction for this set. As a renowned coach and judge, Master Wu brings a level of technical precision that honors the lineage of Grandmaster Chen Fake. This DVD is a critical component of the 'Practical Application' series, focusing on the sophisticated 'Internal Alchemy' required to wield the double-edged sword with Taiji principles.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND Spiraling Energy
The Sixty-two Form routine is built upon the foundation of 'Chan Si Jin' (Spiraling Energy). Every technique—whether it be thrusting (Ci), uppercuting (Liao), or pointing (Dian)—is driven by the waist as the central axis. The 'Technical Routine' demands that the Sword Techniques be exact and the force (Jin) be smooth and uninterrupted. Master Wu Shijun demonstrates the unique aesthetic of the Chen sword: 'Gentle as drizzle' during transitions, yet 'Powerful as a thunderbolt' during the expression of Fa-Jin. This contrast between hardness and softness is the hallmark of high-level Taiji weaponry. The routine contains over 20 specific sword methods that require the practitioner to maintain a 'Fluid Structure' while executing complex spirals and circles.
BIOMECHANICS AND MARTIAL AESTHETICS
The biomechanical requirements for this routine are rigorous. Master Wu Shijun emphasizes the need to be 'Sensitive as a cat pouncing on a rat' and 'Steady as a bear walking on the grass.' This speaks to the duality of lightness in the upper body and rooted stability in the lower gates. The combat logic of the sword focuses on 'Changing Force by Body Movement,' where the blade's path is dictated by the subtle folding and twisting of the torso. This 'Body-Sword Integration' ensures that the weapon is never moved by the arm alone. For the dedicated practitioner, this 94-minute guide offers a deep exploration of 'Internal Alchemy,' providing a path to both physical health and advanced martial skill. It is a masterpiece of 'Cohesive Choreography' that serves as both a combat manual and an artistic expression of the Chen style.

Biographical Profile: Wu Shijun
A Pioneer of Practical Combat and Master of Baguazhang
Wu Shijun, born in Beijing in 1951, is a renowned contemporary martial artist and a National-level Wushu Referee. Distinguished in the martial arts community for his vast knowledge and emphasis on practical combat, he is a premier successor of Cheng-style Baguazhang. His expertise extends across Baji Quan, Chinese Wrestling (Shuai Jiao), and Pigua Zhang, making him a visionary who seamlessly blends traditional techniques with modern combat theory.
Martial Arts Background: Authentic Lineage and Multidisciplinary Mastery
Master Wu’s foundation is rooted in the teachings of the legendary Baguazhang grandmaster Liu Jingru, from whom he inherited the core essence of the Cheng style. He further enriched his repertoire by studying the explosive power of Baji Quan and the intricate grappling of Chinese Wrestling. Having served as a martial arts instructor at prestigious institutions like the People's Public Security University of China, he possesses deep insights into Sanda (free-fighting), Qin Na (grappling), and special forces combat tactics.
Legacy and Contribution: Global Advocate for Functional Wushu
Master Wu is dedicated to the philosophy of "seeking truth in martial arts." Beyond his contributions to drafting competition rules and standardizing traditional styles, he has been a frequent guest instructor in Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. His instructional series on Cheng-style Baguazhang, Baji Quan, and Chinese Wrestling are considered authoritative resources for those seeking the practical applications of traditional Wushu, influencing tens of thousands of practitioners globally.
Artistic Style: Fluid Agility and Explosive Power
His martial style is both aesthetically captivating and formidable. His Baguazhang is characterized by dragon-like movements and wind-like agility, maintaining perfect balance during rapid directional changes. In contrast, his Baji Quan strikes are sharp and explosive, like a mountain collapsing. He advocates that "to practice Wushu is to understand its principles, and to train is to seek the truth," standing as a paragon of the pursuit of martial authenticity.
