READ MOREIn a remarkable journey back to the origins of Taijiquan, Master Shi De Shan recently returned to Chen Village in Henan, China. This small village is the birthplace of Taijiquan’s “small frame” style, a rare and refined practice developed over 300 years ago that emphasizes the cultivation of internal energy.
Training under Grandmaster Chen Chun Sheng, a distinguished expert in this unique form, Shi De Shan immersed himself in the ancient art of small frame Taijiquan. Unlike many contemporary martial arts forms that emphasize physical strength and external movement, small frame Taijiquan focuses on harnessing internal energy, enhancing balance, and achieving a profound connection between mind and body. Through precise, controlled movements, practitioners cultivate their “qi,” or life force, to achieve fluidity, stability, and strength.
Master Shi De Shan's dedication to mastering this technique highlights his commitment to preserving traditional martial arts. This pursuit not only enriches his own practice but also brings a rare form of Taijiquan to the Houston community, where students can learn from a true master of this ancient discipline. By continuing to learn and refine his skills, Master Shi De Shan ensures that the powerful essence of Chen Village’s Taijiquan lives on for future generations.
