Chen Xiaowang is definately the real deal. This is my favourite version of him doing Lao Jia Yi Lu. Usually for performence reasons , he adds some Er Lu/ Xinjia, but this is great!
@blinkerking1 There is a Chen teacher in Atlanta, who works with MAster Chen Xiaowang and Master Zhu Tiancai, His name is Florin Szondi. I've been bleesed toi find him and train with him every week in private classes.
@mdingdisciple I respect your admiration of Master Chen, but do not be so quick to attack others, for you also are breaking the principles of taiji.
Remember what the Tao Te Ching says:
Yield and overcome;
Bend and be straight.
@blinkerking1 The best way to see his skill is to ask him, can you show me your fighting skill? Or, can we push hands? He has been tested plenty of times so i'm sure he won't take offense to it its just that some people are very rude with lessons. You can learn a lesson the nice way or he can teach you the hard way. You can pick. Just be respectful. He will respect you the same way i'm sure.
@dekal1 then do you mind giving me advice on how to challenge him. (i dont really want to learn from him but to test my skill against his. i do not want to be rude either but all i want to do is have a formal challenge his martial art against mine. i was going to use an unorthodox style of martial art on him that i have been trying to perfect for the last year and a half and have had no worthy challenge to spar with. now that i think i have worked hard for close to two years on that art alone)
@blinkerking1 I'm sure he will be. He makes yearly trips to the U.S. But please, do not try to fight him. He would be more willing to teach than to want to fight you. You don't want to learn the hard way, trust me. Even though he would take it light on you, you would still be hurt for such a rude challenge.
@blinkerking1 Thats good that you practice a martial art thats perfect. I didn't know there was one, but hey, thanks for telling me something new. As for CXW he just practices. There are a lot of people who want to fight him. I'm sure hes close to your area often. Please bring a video camera when you do. I gotta see this. Lets see how you how you fair against a true GrandMaster of MA. He has a 9th Dan Ranking in China by the way. Only 9th Dan allowed to tach every form and aspect of Chen Tai CHi
@dekal1 i know perfectly well what he is capable of. and its not like im just some other weakling that just trifles in martial art. i have studied Kami no Kobushi and other varying martial arts since i was a little child. i just havent had a good sparing partner for a while. though his style is quite unique i practice a similar more perfected art.
@blinkerking1 Why on earth would you want to FIGHT ChenXiaoWang. It probably wouldn't even be a fight. He would probably brush you off. Do you even know what he is capable of?
This is old frame first routine, each of the 4 grandmasters does it a bit differently, This master adds a move to the beginning of wavehands that others dont do. There is no one head of Chen style.
@LoansOfYogurt Not at all true. Master Chen Xiaowang says no one's tai chi is perfect, that is directly from his mouth to my ear, not via some comment on some website. Never accept something as the absolute truth unless you got it directly from the source. I don't know where you got that information about him from but it's not correct.
