Tai Chi - Chen style

Chen Style Tai Chi is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of Tai Chi Chuan. It emphasizes slow, graceful movements combined with explosive bursts of energy. Originating from Chenjiagou village in Henan Province, China, it incorporates elements of martial arts, qigong, and meditation. Its distinctive features include low stances, spiraling movements, and a focus on both internal and external power development. Practitioners often start with foundational exercises like Silk Reeling and gradually progress to more complex forms such as Laojia and Xinjia routines. Chen Style Tai Chi is renowned for its health benefits, martial applications, and cultivation of inner harmony.
