This instructional program is presented by Master Wu Shijun, a distinguished 11th-generation lineage successor of Chen Style Taijiquan and a 7th Dan in Chinese Wushu. Master Wu is a world-renowned authority, serving as a national first-class judge and coach. His lineage-based teaching focuses on the 'Wise Use' of Taijiquan, stripping away the purely aesthetic to reveal the lethal efficiency of the art's original combat logic. Historically, the 'Practical' lineage was the most guarded aspect of the Chen family tradition, reserved for those who had achieved a high degree of 'Internal Alchemy' and structural precision. Master Wu’s teaching ensures that the 'Historical Heritage' of Taiji as a functional combat system is preserved, offering modern practitioners a scientific and credible pathway to achieving martial excellence. The choreography is a masterclass in 'Cohesive Choreography,' where movements are derived from the principle of 'One Open, One Close' and 'One Advance, One Withdrawal.' Master Wu Shijun provides a meticulous breakdown of the forms, starting from the foundational 'Joining Hands' and progressing to complex 'Active Stance' pushing drills. A defining feature of this Form & Applications is the 'Plum Blossom Step Four Corners Push' (Meihua Bu Si Yu Tui), a rare and sophisticated training routine. Each movement is explained with its specific combat application, focusing on the ability to '把握瞬间' (seize the moment) and deliver a decisive strike or throw.
