Taijiquan | 赵堡太极拳

Taijiquan originated within the Zhaobao Town of Wen County, Jiaozuo city, Henan Province in China (河南省焦作市温县赵堡镇).  The Taijiquan is prominent throughout a number of villages within Zhaobao Town, including Chen Jia Gou, Zhaobao Cun , Nanzhangqiang Cun , Xintang Cun and so forth. Within the Zhaobao Town, the two key initiators of Taijiquan were Jiang Fa and Chen Wangting from which all others are derived. Throughout time Taijiquan has evolved into different variations of practice. The older methods were kept restricted to family members. Chen Qingping was a master held in great regards and a notable talent at Zhaobao Town. His disciples all were taught in accord with the principles of Taijiquan but acquired there own in depth understanding. Later masters in order to preserve the essence of Taijiquan set about a systematic method that held tribute to the key variations as to their implications to either the learning process, the skill development or the combative instinct required. Here we present an array of different Zhaobao & Chen Style Taijiquan, it includes rare footage of our direct ancestors as well as those pertaining to other lineages so as to give a good showcase. In essence ,Taijiquan when applied for its original purpose of combat, the form and push hands alone is insufficient but in the hands of an expert, forms do provide a taste for the differences in structure and training methods.
