In 1986 he moved to Beijing and in 2003 began to learn the Chen Taiji quan. His master teaches what is known as the purest form of Chen Taiji quan; unadultered for many generations. Master Winser Zhao lives in Beijing with his family and continues to learn under his master and teach.

Chen style is the orignal Taiji quan which all styles are based. Some movements are slow, others quick; some movements are strong, other gentle. This connects to the theory of Yin and Yang.

My Shifu Han hongshun, is the inheritor of the Chinese traditional Taiji quan(aka Chen’s style Taiji quan). have been practiced and taught the Taiji quan in Ditan Park for over 15 years. there are more than 600 students all over the world and 80 more Tudi in china. yeah,not too many. I dont know why, I thought there should be much more people realize this Taiji quan is the best. the fact it no. Ok,if you know Taiji quan, you can watch my Shifu’s video, you can see the difference between any other Taiji quan videos.

I'm sure the teacher in the video is good at what he does (looks like pretty standard Beijing New Frame with a few flourishes). However, there are a lot of good Chen style people in Beijing, would be wary of saying things like 'best style' or 'best teacher'.

Sorry, but there is nothing in that video to make me head to Ditan Park at any time.

Disconnected movements and he raises his shoulders - not impressed.

I started my Chen style practice with this "Beijing branch" from Tian Qiuxin. The guy in the first video is unconnected and added quite some flowery moves.
His teacher is better.

Perhaps it is an age thing for me but performance is great but how does that translate to usage/application/integration.
His form is nice, does appear 'archair' (old style) compared to Chen village taijiquan

Let me put it nicely... He needs more practice.
