Tai Ji Circle’s Xinjia Yi Lu (New Frame 1) Form new classes with 6th Duan Shifu Liu are a rare opportunity to study the brilliant Chen New Frame routine, developed from Laojia Yi Lu (the oldest Chen hand long form) by Chen Fake early in 20th Century, he is Grandmaster Chen Xiao Wang’s famous grandfather. The routine contains skilful circular movements rooted in silk reeling theories and energetic fajin practice.
These classes are suitable for those who have studied and are familiar with Chen Taijiquan’s Laojia Yi Lu (Old Frame 1) or Laojia Er Lu routines. Shifu will teach it step by step and this is the best opportunity to learn the form slowly from the very beginning!
This will be our second in depth Foundation of the year for exploring Chen Foundation training taught by Tai Ji Circle’s renowned London Chen-style master Liu Quanjun. The standing and silk reeling practice are the roots of Chen Tai Chi (taiji) movement and forms. Benefit health through practical training that both relaxes the mind and body and improves strength, balance and coordination. We also have postural corrections so that you can see what problems to look out for in your own practice.
