Chen Taijiquan Practical Method in the Bay Area

The information on this blog is intended to serve the Practical Method taijiquan community of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method was developed by Hong Junsheng, disciple of Grandmaster Chen Fa-Ke. We practice the form as taught by Hong's disciple Chen Zhonghua (Joseph Chen).

Special workshops and private lessons on Taijiquan theory and practice are available. Check out the calendar or the classes section of the website (chenstyletaiji.org) for specific class times and information. Or email nathan.heintz(at)gmail.com.

Nathan Heintz is a student of Chen Zhonghua, the International Standard Bearer of the Practical Method art. Through this blog I will be sharing training notes, relevant videos, photos, and reflections on taijiquan practice and theory. I also intend to provide a bit of a portal into the vast world that Grandmaster Hong's art has spawned. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.

New Chen Style Taiji Website: www.chenstyletaiji.org

I've recently created a new website at www.chenstyletaiji.org. This site will continue to evolve over time, but will hopefully serve as a resource for the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method of Grandmaster Hong Junsheng, and Master Chen Zhonghua. The "About" section contains an excerpt from an essay that I wrote on Chen Style Taiji in the winter of 2006-2007. This piece of writing will be edited and expanded based on my more recent experiences with Chen Taiji, specifically around my experiences with Joseph Chen (Chen Zhonghua) and the Practical Method School of Taiji. I look forward to updating and expanding my new site, so please check back regularly! Thanks,
