Introduction Zhaobao Tai Chi Chuan
Zhaobao Xiaojia
Zhaobao Tai Chi Chuan is a very old form of boxing. It is an excellent exercise method which promotes good health and longevity. The consistent and faithful practice of this style is reported to have strengthening effects on people suffering with poor health or chronic illnesses. The characteristic upright headline of Zhabao Style with its prolonged deep breathing clears the mind, harmonizes blood and qi (ch’i) circulation thus helping to establish a general state of well being.
Jiang Fa, who studied with Wang Zhong Yue (whose Treatise on Tai Chi Chuan is a classic), was the last survivor of the seventh generation of Zhaobao Tai chi Chuan. According to a manuscript copy of Zhaobao Tai chi Chuan, Jiang Fa taught the Zhaobao style to Xing Xi (Hsing Hsi) Huai in the final years of Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty (around A.D.1620). Xing passed this style onto Zhang Cu (Ts’u) Chen, Zhang onto Chen Jiang Buo, Chen onto Zhang Zhong Yu, Zhang onto his son Zhang Yian, and Zhang onto Chen Qing (Ch ing) Ping. Chen Qing Ping onto He Zhao Yuan, He Zhao Yuan onto He Qing Xi.He Qing Xi had many students, of whom his nephew He Xue Xing, Cheng Wu Qing, Cheng Buo Ying, Hao Yu Qiao and Guo Yun are the best known. Master Zhengwuqing also had many outstanding student , Master Liu Rui , Master Li Suicheng , Master Song yunhua , they are also eleventh generation from Zhaobao.
The basic framework of Zhaobao tai chi chuan consists of 75 postures. Each has a collection of large and small, and flowing and reversed circular movements; even the qi inside the dantian is traveling in circles. Every circle is intertwined, thus inside and outside circles become one. Framework exercises can be divided into large, medium and small frames. Each pose in each frame is light, agile, circular, brisk and open. In order to meet the requirements of proper body postures such as “three points facing”, “steps following body movement”, “movement without moving and “conformity with the bends and the shape of the body,” one must step as if reeling silk, move like flowing water (with each move remaining connected like a lotus root breaking with the fibers still holding together), and follow one form closely after another.
Throughout the whole fist form, the body frame maintains a posture that is central, upright, level, even, light, agile, rounded, and lively, with hard and soft movements complementing one another. During the entire exercise, thoughts are linked together to unite body applications. The exercise can make one healthy, as well as provide self-defense.
One should not expect to be successful in this style in haste. The first step to success is to learn the form. The second step requires accuracy. The third step requires internal energy to lead external movements. The fourth step is to inquire into the truth of applications. A piece of ice that is three feet thick is not formed in one cold day. Those who have patience will be successful in learning the style, and those lacking patience will fail. If one can devote oneself to study this style, learn diligently and practice hard, one can get better and better, attaining lightness, agility, smoothness, vitality, and a state of well being.
