Chen-style Taijiquan
The Chen-style Taijiquan falls into two categories —the old and new frames. The old frame has numerous slow and soft parts, interspersed with explosive movements. The new frame (sometimes called Pao-Twi) is more explosive and firmer overall.
Chen-style Taijiquan is the oldest form currently practiced popularly; all other styles are derived from it either directly or indirectly.
