E04. Chen Style Taichi – The New Form 1
elementary:4 months; intermediate:2 months
The New Form 1 was created by Chen Fake, the 17th Leader, who had added the whist twisting and reeling actions into the Old Form techniques. Then, the new form with more striking was finalized by his son, Chen Zhaokui.
The new form gives priority to warding off, rolling back, pressing, and pushing while gives secondary focus to pulling down, splitting, elbowing, and body strike.
The motion strives to be soft and graceful with nimble and firm steps, changeable arm movements, as well as just and natural body postures. This boxing has good efficiency in fighting, fitness and health preservation.
