Background

Taijiquan (“Tai Chi”) was created in Chenjiagou Village, Wenxian County, Henan Province, China in the late Ming Dynasty, almost 400 years ago, by the 9th generation Chen family member; General Chen Wangtin. Following a decorated military career General Chen retired to Chenjiagou where he began formulating an internal martial arts that incorporated the wisdom of the ancient Taoist philosophy of Yin and Yang, with specialised breathing techniques and a profound understanding of the internal energy meridians “jingluo” used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Because of its intrinsic power nature, the art was only passed from master to student in great secrecy and remained hidden for almost 300 years within the village.

Chen Style Tai Chi has fast become the most popular form of Tai Chi in the world today. Both old and young Tai Chi practitioners are beginning to appreciate why generations of the Chen family were determined to maintain their sacred art in its purest form so that everyone may experience the maximum benefits under their guidance.

Tai Chi is accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities and can be practised on different levels, from a simple Qigong meditative exercise which often applies slow graceful movements with controlled breathing techniques; to a fast and powerful martial art.

Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei

Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei was born in Chenjiagou Village, and is a 19th generation of the Chen family and 11th generation direct-line successor of Chen Family Taijiquan Chen-style taijiquan.

He is recognized as one of the four “Buddha’s Warrior Attendants (Si Jingang),” the four outstanding exponents of the 19th generation in Chenjiagou. He travels around the globe giving workshops and creating an international group of Chen-style practitioners.

Since 1998, the Chinese Wushu Association together with the National Sport Commission and the Chinese Wushu Research Institute has established a graduation system based on nine Duan levels (rank), Grandmaster Chen achieved the 9th Duan Wei Grandmaster (Jinlong—jiu duan: Gold Dragon) level in 2012, and he is one of the few holders of the highest rank of the Duan wei system.

The benefits of practising Tai Chi & Qigong

Tai Chi and Qigong can be used as a preventive health measure to maintain good health and are recommended as an addition to conventional medical treatments. In Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, blocked or stagnant Qi (vital life force) is said to be the root of many diseases. Through this gentle exercise which incorporates the mind, breathing and body, Tai Chi and Qigong help to cultivate and promote the circulation of Qi within the body to enhance overall health, bring relaxation, balance and harmony between the body and mind.

Tai Chi and Qigong’s health benefits have been studied for nearly 2,000 years in China but have only been studied in the west in the last century. Studies have shown that both Tai Chi and Qigong can help people to reduce stress, improve posture, balance and general mobility as well as increase muscle strength in the legs. Tai Chi and Qigong have now become one of the most popular in the world as a health-promoting exercise that are suitable for all ages and all people.
