Form List: Chen's
First Lu
Mark's note: I know very little about this
list, even to the point of whether it is actually 'chen' style or
something altogether different, so please feel free to enlighten
me if you have any information.
The entire content has been lifted from James
Marshall's webpages, who in turn has copied his lists from other
sources. These sources are quoted in italics first, and then his
notes are included as they may be of interest.
Copied from The Dao of Taijiquan, Way to Rejuvenation by Jou,
Tsung Hwa, published by Tai Chi Foundation.
This form has simple movements, more softness, and less firmness.
Ward off, roll back, press, and push (the four directions) are emphasized,
elbow, split, pull down, and shoulder strike (the four corners)
are secondary. "For the student, the routine is like a self-teaching
encyclopedia of the science of movement, of martial arts techniques,
and of qigong." Frequent shifts from vigorous to soft help
train transitions between yin and yang. The body leads the hands
in this form. The form ends facing the opposite direction it started
so it is intended to be performed twice in a row.
