The Chen Style Taijiquan 56-Form Competition Routine is a standardized set compiled from traditional Chen-style Taijiquan. It preserves the essence of the original art while meeting the requirements of modern wushu competition, making it an important routine for both advanced training and performance.
Chen Style Taijiquan originated from Chenjiagou Village in Wen County, Henan Province. It is traditionally attributed to Chen Wangting during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and has a history of over 400 years. As the earliest known source of Taijiquan, it integrates principles of Yin-Yang theory, breathing techniques, and meridian-based internal training, forming a unique style characterized by the balance of softness and hardness, as well as slow and fast movements.
Over generations of family transmission and refinement, the original multiple routines of Chen Taijiquan were gradually consolidated into what is now known as the First Routine (Yilu) and Second Routine (Erlu, also called Cannon Fist). Variations such as the “New Frame” further adapted the traditional sequences, making movements more compact and structured while retaining their core essence.
The 56-form competition routine is created based on both the First and Second Routines. It combines the silk-reeling, flowing, and continuous movements of the First Routine with the explosive power (fa jin), shaking force, and dynamic energy release found in the Second Routine. This integration fully reflects the fundamental characteristics of Chen Style Taijiquan—the harmony of softness and hardness, and the interplay between stillness and motion.
Structurally, the routine retains many of the key movements and sequences of traditional Chen Taijiquan while being reorganized for clarity and performance. It includes various techniques such as explosive releases of power, jumps, and other demanding movements, requiring a relatively high level of physical fitness, coordination, and control. Additionally, the entire set emphasizes the continuous application of silk-reeling energy (chan si jin), expressed through spiral and circular motions throughout the body, making it both intricate and challenging to master.
The complete routine is divided into four sections, progressing from simple to complex:
- Section 1:Focuses on slow, flowing, silk-reeling movements to build a solid foundation
- Section 2:Introduces more agile footwork and highlights continuous power generation
- Section 3:Features technically demanding movements such as sweeping lotus kicks and low stances
- Section 4:Emphasizes jumps and explosive actions, with more pronounced contrasts in speed, size, and force
This progressive structure ensures that the body’s workload increases gradually, aligning with natural physiological development while providing a comprehensive full-body workout.
In terms of benefits, Chen Style Taijiquan is not only a martial art but also a holistic practice for mind and body. Regular training can enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, improve joint health and circulation, and support respiratory function. At the same time, it helps reduce stress, improve focus, and cultivate overall well-being.
Overall, the Chen Style 56-Form Competition Routine serves as a bridge between traditional practice and modern performance. Through systematic training, practitioners can grasp the essential techniques of Chen Taijiquan while gaining deeper insight into its internal power, rhythm, and philosophical foundation.
