Chen Old Frame, First Routine (Lao Jia Yi Lu)

Lao Jia Yi Lu

Lao Jia Yi Lu (Old Frame First Road) is the parent form for the other major Taijiquan styles (such as the Yang and Wu styles).  This form contains fast and slow movements and features the silk reeling quality the Chen style Taiji is noted as containing.  The movements of Lao Jia Yi Lu are large and extended and contain more softness and less firmness.  Lao Jia Yi Lu is an important conditioning and training method in Chen style Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) and is therefore usually studied before learning other forms
