HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Chen-style Taijiquan is the ancestral root of all Taiji systems, renowned for its dynamic interplay of hardness and softness. The 36 Forms Simplified Routine represents a pedagogical breakthrough, designed to make the profound depth of the Chen family lineage accessible to modern practitioners without sacrificing its martial essence. Historically, this routine was distilled from the expansive Old Frame Routine One (Lao Jia Yi Lu), removing repetitive sequences to focus on the core technical DNA of the system. Master Wu Shijun, a national-level master and judge, provides the authoritative demonstration of this set. This DVD serves as a vital bridge for beginners, preserving the 'Primitive Taste' and historical integrity of the Chen style while providing a clear, manageable path to technical proficiency.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The routine is composed of 36 meticulously selected forms that encapsulate the primary mechanics of Chen Taiji. The Technical Routine emphasizes the 'Fluid Structure' and 'Cohesive Choreography' that define the art—movements that are as smooth as silk yet as heavy as iron. Unlike more complex long forms, the 36 Forms allow the student to focus on the precision of each posture and the clarity of the transitions. Master Wu Shijun provides a step-by-step breakdown of the forms, highlighting the fundamental principles of 'Opening and Closing' and the management of the center of gravity. The routine is structured to build a solid foundation in Taiji body methods, preparing the practitioner for the more advanced requirements of the traditional curriculum.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
The biomechanics of this set focus on Body-Fist Integration and the cultivation of Silk Reeling Power (Chan Si Jin). Power is generated from the Dantian and transmitted through a spiraling kinetic chain that involves the entire body. The training emphasizes the 'Six Harmonies', ensuring that the internal intent drives the external physical expression. This DVD provides deep insights into the internal alchemy required to coordinate the breath with the slow, rhythmic movements and the sudden bursts of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power). The biomechanical efficiency of the 36 Forms lies in the practitioner's ability to maintain structural integrity while executing the characteristic 'Wrapping' and 'Sinking' maneuvers of the Chen style.
PRACTICAL UTILITY AND PHILOSOPHY
Beyond its martial utility, the 36 Forms of Simplified Chen-style Taijiquan is a profound system for health and internal cultivation. The strategy involves 'Adhere and Follow' principles, where the practitioner learns to neutralize force through superior structural leverage. The philosophy is one of 'Hardness and Softness in Balance', where the mind remains calm while the body moves with dynamic intent. Master Wu Shijun’s instruction ensures that the 'Flavor' of the original Chen family boxing is maintained, providing a professional pathway for students to master the internal and external mechanics of this ancient art. This DVD is an essential resource for anyone seeking a standardized and authoritative guide to the foundational mastery of Chen-style Taijiquan.

Biographical Profile: Wei Feng
Ambassador of Jeet Kune Do and Master of Practical Combat
Wei Feng, born in 1968 in Hunan, is a renowned contemporary martial artist, Jeet Kune Do (JKD) instructor, and National-level Sanda coach. As a pivotal figure in systematically introducing Bruce Lee’s martial philosophy to mainland China, he holds a preeminent position in JKD promotion, special forces combat training, and martial arts literature.
Martial Arts Background: A Global Pursuit of Combat Mastery
Master Wei began his journey in traditional Wushu and Sanda before traveling abroad to study under Bruce Lee’s premier student, Dan Inosanto. This allowed him to master the core principles of Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts (Kali), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He deeply understands Lee’s philosophy: "Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation." By merging traditional essence with modern special-ops combat, he has served as a head combat instructor for SWAT teams, accumulating vast experience in practical offense, defense, and grappling.
Legacy and Contribution: The Architect of JKD Literature in China
Master Wei’s most significant contribution is his prolific output of martial arts literature. He has authored and published over 50 definitive works, including The Complete Book of Jeet Kune Do and The Essence of Bruce Lee’s Combat Art, which have become bestsellers in the martial arts world. The training bases he established have mentored tens of thousands of practitioners, ensuring the professional and localized development of JKD in China.
Artistic Style: Rapid, Fierce, and Concise
His personal style embodies the JKD hallmarks of being "simple, direct, and non-classical." His techniques prioritize maximum efficiency and explosive power, reflecting a true spirit of combat. Advocating that "Wushu must return to practical application," his vigorous style and scientific training methodology have earned him immense respect among the modern generation of martial arts enthusiasts.
