HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND LINEAGE
Zhaobao Taiji represents a profound and highly specialized branch of the Internal Martial Arts, originating from the historic Zhaobao Town in Henan Province. For over four centuries, this system remained a closely guarded secret, preserved within a specific lineage to maintain its technical purity and philosophical depth. This comprehensive 4-DVD collection is presented by Grandmaster Wang Haizhou, the 15th-generation direct successor of the Zhaobao Lineage and a recognized custodian of this ancient heritage. Unlike modern interpretations that focus solely on health, the Zhaobao tradition emphasizes the 'Big Frame' (Da Jia) and the intricate 'Three Circles Theory,' which serves as the foundation for its unique circular power. By studying this material, practitioners engage with a historical heritage that has served as a primary foundation for internal power development for generations, now presented with the academic rigor and clinical depth required for a global audience. Master Wang's flawless execution of the 'Three Integrations' provides a rare window into the authentic roots of Taijiquan as a functional combat art, ensuring that the 'Warrior Soul' of the art is preserved for future generations.
TECHNICAL FORM AND APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
This collection provides a systematic deconstruction of the Zhaobao Taiji system across four specialized discs, covering the entire spectrum of the lineage's technical library. The curriculum begins with the foundational 108-form Technical Routine (spanning 2 DVDs), a marathon of internal energy and structural precision that establishes the necessary structural integrity for the style. It then expands into tactical weaponry, including the 57-form Sword and the 20-form Single Broadsword, showcasing the principle of Body-Sword Integration and the balance between hardness and softness. Finally, the set bridges the gap to actual combat with 128 distinct Sanshou techniques and the rare 65-form Zhaobao Bludgeon. Each Form & Applications is presented as a masterclass in Fluid Structure and cohesive choreography, where movements follow a precise arc-like trajectory to redirect an opponent's force with effortless grace. The choreography is designed to be clear and direct, allowing the student to recognize the practical utility of each movement within the internal framework.
BIOMECHANICS AND FA-JIN (EXPLOSIVE POWER)
From a biomechanical perspective, Zhaobao Taiji is a study in spiral kinetic force and the maintenance of dynamic equilibrium. The generation of Fa-Jin (Explosive Power) in this style relies on the 'Three Internal and External Integrations' (Nei Wai San He), ensuring that the body acts as a single, unified weapon. Master Wang Haizhou demonstrates how the power originates in the legs, is amplified by the internal revolving of the Dantian, and is expressed through the extremities. The biomechanics focus on 'Neuromuscular Coordination,' requiring the practitioner to maintain a state of relaxed alertness until the moment of impact. This focus on Internal Alchemy involves the synchronization of breath and intent (Yi), ensuring that the force produced is both efficient and stable. The routine's emphasis on circular neutralization allows for a high-impact power emission that can penetrate an opponent's structure from any angle with absolute precision, embodying the philosophy of 'flowing without pause, firm without stiffness.'
COMBAT PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICAL VALUE
The ultimate goal of the Zhaobao system is the development of functional Combat Application skills through the mastery of circular motion. Master Wang Haizhou illustrates the tactical logic behind the forms, showing how the principles of Adhere and Follow are used to neutralize an opponent's momentum. The tactical focus is on occupying the center and using the style's unique power emission to break an opponent's structure. The practical value of this training extends beyond self-defense, offering profound benefits for joint mobility, physical resilience, 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 instrument of excellence. This 4-DVD set is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the practical value and historical depth of traditional Zhaobao Taijiquan, providing a scientific and credible pathway to achieving martial excellence.

The Custodian of a 400-Year-Old Secret
Grandmaster Wang Haizhou is not merely a teacher; he is a living bridge to the origins of Tai Chi. Born in the legendary Zhaobao Town of Henan Province—a place where martial arts are woven into the very soil—Wang represents the 15th direct generation of the Zhaobao lineage. This particular branch of Tai Chi was, for centuries, a closely guarded secret, known for its sophisticated "Big Frame" (Da Jia) and its preservation of the art's most ancient, circular mechanics.
A Master of "Circular Alchemy"
In the international martial arts community, Wang Haizhou is revered for his flawless execution of the "Three Integrations" (San He). His movements are a masterclass in Circular Alchemy: every strike, step, and parry follows a precise, arc-like trajectory that redirects an opponent's force with effortless grace. His philosophy—"Flowing without pause, firm without stiffness"—has become a guiding principle for high-level practitioners worldwide.
The Warrior-Scholar’s Arsenal
While many modern schools have drifted toward "slow-motion calisthenics," Grandmaster Wang has spent decades preserving the Warrior Soul of the art. He is the preeminent expert on:
The 108-Form Zhaobao Tai Chi: A marathon of internal energy and technical precision.
Tactical Weaponry: His mastery of the 57-form Sword, the 20-form Single Broadsword, and the rare 65-form Zhaobao Bludgeon is considered the "Gold Standard" of Chinese short and long-range combat.
Sanshou (Practical Combat): He has decoded 128 distinct techniques from the ancient scrolls, proving that Tai Chi is, at its heart, a formidable system of self-defense.
A Global Icon of the "China Wushu Exhibition Project"
As a cornerstone of the prestigious China Wushu Exhibition Project, Grandmaster Wang’s instructional media (such as the DW Series) serves as the primary reference for serious students from the United States to Europe. By filming his family’s heritage alongside his son, Wang Changqing, he has ensured that the "True North" of Zhaobao Tai Chi remains accessible to the world for generations to come.
Conclusion
To study under Wang Haizhou through his works is to touch the authentic roots of Kung Fu. He remains one of the few masters who can balance the profound health benefits of internal cultivation with the raw, functional power of a combat veteran.
