HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Zhang Sanfeng is legendary as the progenitor of Taijiquan, yet the 'Originality' of his boxing has often been lost in the evolution of modern styles. The Natural School (Ziranmen), founded by the 'Magic Kick' Du Xinwu, serves as a unique repository for these ancient internal mechanics. Master Du Feihu, a 3rd-generation heir and National First-Class Martial Arts Judge, presents this routine as a 'Living Fossil' of Orthodox Taichi. Historically, Ziranmen was a closely guarded secret that preserved the raw, combative, and internal essence of the art before it was popularized for mass health. This DVD provides a rare glimpse into the Zhang Sanfeng Originality Taichi Boxing, offering contemporary practitioners a chance to see the root from which all other Taiji branches grew.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of Zhang Sanfeng Originality Taichi Boxing is centered on the concept of 'Naturalness' (Ziran) and the cultivation of internal pressure. Unlike modern routines that may prioritize aesthetic flow, this orthodox routine focuses on the 'Six Harmonies' and the 'Internal Dantian Reality.' The philosophy is one of 'Movement coming out of naught,' where the intent (Yi) guides the vital energy (Qi) to move the body. The Technical Routine is characterized by its subtle weight shifts and its focus on maintaining a 'Plump' internal structure (Peng Jin). Master Du Feihu emphasizes that this is a practice of 'Seeking Stability within Movement,' ensuring that the practitioner remains rooted yet incredibly mobile.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, this Original Taichi routine is a masterclass in skeletal alignment and fascial elasticity. Master Du Feihu demonstrates how the 'Spring Body' (Shen Ru Dan Huang) mechanics are applied to the slow, mindful movements of Taijiquan. The power is generated from the feet and controlled by the waist, but the focus is on the 'Internal Breath Rotation' (Nei Qi Qian Zhuan) that governs the external form. This process removes localized muscular tension and replaces it with a unified kinetic chain. The routine analyzes the 'Solid and Empty' (Xu Shi) transitions, showing how to maintain the center of gravity while executing complex rotations. This neigong-based approach ensures that the practitioner's life potential is upgraded through refined neurological coordination.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
This DVD provides a comprehensive breakdown of the Zhang Sanfeng Originality Taichi technical routine. Master Du Feihu provides a detailed explanation of the internal requirements for each posture, followed by a full-set demonstration and a step-by-step action analysis. The instruction is designed to help the practitioner understand the martial intent behind the graceful movements, showing how the Original Taichi was a formidable system of self-defense. Regular practice of this routine helps to regulate the nervous system, improve balance, and cultivate a profound state of internal harmony. By studying this living fossil under the guidance of a true master, students can access the ancient wisdom of Zhang Sanfeng and integrate it into their modern practice.

Master Du Feihu
3rd Generation Successor of the Ziranmen (Natural Style) Lineage
Du Feihu is a distinguished martial artist and a pivotal figure in the 3rd generation of Ziranmen (the Natural Style). Following in the footsteps of the lineage's legendary founders and grandmasters, he has dedicated his life to the preservation of this unique internal system. He is recognized within the martial arts community for his commitment to maintaining the school’s core principles of spontaneity and practicality, ensuring that the legacy of Ziranmen remains intact in the modern era.
Martial Arts Background: Mastery of the "Natural" Path
Du Feihu’s background is rooted in the rigorous and often unconventional training methods of Ziranmen. His mastery encompasses the system’s foundational "Circle Walking" (Aizeng Bu) and the specialized conditioning required to develop the "Natural Power" (Ziran Jing). His training focused on the integration of internal intent and external movement, emphasizing the school’s philosophy of "moving without a fixed form" and the cultivation of explosive, reflexive force that responds naturally to any combat situation.
Legacy and Contribution: Preservation and Lineage Leadership
As a 3rd generation successor, Du Feihu has played a vital role in the transition of Ziranmen from a historically secretive art to a more structured discipline. He has focused on documenting the specific technical requirements and the "Methodless Method" that define the school. Through his teaching, he has mentored a new generation of practitioners, ensuring that the subtle mechanics and combat logic of the lineage are passed down with technical precision while upholding the traditional martial ethics of his predecessors.
Artistic Style: Fluid Spontaneity and Reflexive Power
His style is characterized by the hallmark Ziranmen aesthetic of "softness on the outside, hardness on the inside." His movements are unscripted and highly adaptable, reflecting the principle that the body should react to an opponent as naturally as a shadow follows a form. In his practice, one can observe a lack of rigid posture, replaced by a fluid, continuous motion that conceals sudden, penetrating strikes. His execution embodies the essence of "Natural"—efficient, unpretentious, and devoid of any unnecessary ornamentation.
