Master Chen Zhonghua and his qualified 20^th Generation Instructors will start you right from the beginning of your Taijiquan journey if need be, helping all students work at their own pace in this safe, warm and inclusive environment.

This course is ideal for individuals or groups who wish to grow their knowledge of the authentic Chinese Martial Arts found in Chen Style Practical Method and XinYi Hunyuan Taijiquan, as well as those who simply strive to improve their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. The majority of students who undergo this program lose weight during their stay, with many reporting diminished symptoms of Asthma, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, High blood pressure & Joint issues (to name a few) as a result of their better condition.

Encompassing 12 steps, all subjects mentioned below are covered, with availability being dependent on student demand/ability, as well as available teacher specialisations, with the expectation being that you wouldn’t want to learn everything on the list too quickly as it represents a huge body of knowledge.

We always start with the daily practice and drilling of the following three steps of
Grandmaster Hong Junsheng’s Chen Style Tajiquan Practical Method:

• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Complete Theory
• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Jibengong (Foundations)
• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method 81 Yilu (First Form)

• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method 64 Erlu/Pao Chui (Cannon Fist)
• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Jian (Sword)

• Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method Tuishou (Push Hands)

DAQINGSHAN MOUNTAIN (DQS)

Daqingshan Mountain (Holy Green Mountain) is located in a remote area of Shandong Province, 1.5hrs drive from Rizhao and 20mins to Wulian. Since its inception and foundation in 2006, Master Chen Zhonghua has grown and developed this incredible site of pristine beauty into the perfect environment for our Fulltime Training Program and where we host our large events such as our annual Daqingshan International Taijiquan Competition and workshops. Here you can experience full immersion into Taijiquan training, with all you daily needs taken care of under one roof.

With 3 hotels, ranging from a basic, en suit shared dormitory set up, to an experience of 4 Star International standard luxury, you also get to enjoy locally sourced, organic, beautifully cooked cuisine.

Master Chen Zhonghua, Disciples and students on Daqingshan

Head Instructor Chen Xu and Instructor Han Rui teach full time on Daqingshan and are the two longest serving Disciples of Master Chen Zhonghua remaining on the mountain. Under their excellent guidance you will be getting the best training offered by anyone other than Master Chen himself. We also have International Instructor James Strider and others visiting year round to help assist in teaching and translation.

Daqingshan is also Master Chen’s place of residence when in China, with week long workshops run by him personally on Daqingshan three times a year. These are excellent times to come as you will get to experience Master Chen firsthand and also meet National and International Disciples and students who flock to the mountain to train with him.

Please enquire for more details on workshop dates by emailing:  james@practicalmethod.com.au

During our annual DQS International Taiji Competition, the mountain can get fully booked out, as we receive hundreds of National and International Disciples, students and competitors for this two-day event.
