Chen-style Taijiquan: Small Frame DVD by Zhu Tiancai

Chen-style Tai Chi Chuan Small Frame is a traditional routine passed down from Chen Youben, the 14th generation Tai Chi master of Chenjiagou. Like the Old Frame, it originally consisted of 72 postures. In practicing this routine, the circles can be large or small, and the movements can be fast or slow. All the power generation and stomping movements are stored and contained within soft energy. It is driven by the waist, cultivating intention, circulating qi, and nourishing the spirit. Power generation is practiced as single-form exercises. It has been passed down through generations in Chenjiagou and has produced many renowned figures. For example, Zhaobao He-style Tai Chi Chuan and Sun-style Tai Chi Chuan are directly or indirectly derived from the Chenjiagou Small Frame Tai Chi Chuan.
