Chen-Style Tai Chi Practical Method (陈式太极拳实用拳法) is a unique martial art with a lineage tracing back to Master Chen FaKe (陳發科 1887-1957) and Master Hong Junsheng (洪均生 1907-1996). Over time, this style has developed specialized terminology and nomenclature to convey its principles and training methods. Master Chen Zhonghua (陈中华 1961– ), drawing upon decades of teaching experience and professional training in linguistics, introduces these terms to a Western audience. The following definitions clarify key terms used within the Practical Method.

Brian’s Comment: Overall very good. Most moves are clear. Focus on the (1) sequence of moves (2) elbow in, hand out (3)clarity of stepping.
James https://youtu.be/UnXgHoV9G-U
Brian’s Comment: Good progress. Slow down a little to get each move sequentially clear. Focus on size (so big there is nothing outside of it, so small there is nothing inside of it) and clarity of stepping.

Brian’s Comment: Very good. You must put a lid on your shoulders. This will force your body to compress and stretch. Do not go up and down when stepping.
Francis https://youtu.be/f6xb7KMUXik
Brian’s Comment: Overall good sequence and clarity. Focus on becoming smaller and holding it (合住) by elbow in, chest down. Maintain a bend in the elbow (never straighten) will allow you to help open the shoulder.
John https://youtu.be/EP1Lnczp-ZU
Brian’s Comment: Overall very good balance and harmony of the body. Fixing the hand, pulling the elbow and opening the armpit will help open your shoulder.
