Chen Taijiquan Integrating Form & Application Methods

This is a twofold video in which I explain a movement from the second road (paochui) of Chen Taijiquan and then I show some applications from these movements. So in the first part it is more about the functional and applicable bodywork which trains certain forces/jin routes in the body, the second part is more about the martial work and how to use these forces/jin. This is not a self defense scenario or anything like that, it is more an exploration of how forces/jin are being applied in a technical sense. These exercises comprise the application training (yongfa) of Taijiquan and connect the bodywork and the martial work with one another so they become one. The movements I use here are “煞腰压肘拳 Stopping with the waist and pressing down with elbow and fist“ and “井揽直入 Seizing the well and entering directly“.
