陳式太極拳是明末戰將河南溫縣陳家溝陳式第九代陳王廷在家傳拳術的基礎上, 依據 “易經” 陰陽之理, 中醫經絡學說及導引、吐納術, 綜合性地創造出具有陰陽性質、剛柔相濟、快慢相間, 鬆活彈抖的特色, 以及符合人體生理規律和大自然的運轉規律的拳術運動, 至今已有300多年歷史。起初太極拳只在陳式家族內部流傳, 鮮為人知, 自陳長興時傳給河北永年人楊露禪後, 才在社會上慢慢流轉開來, 太極拳在長期發展中, 逐步演化成具有代表性、風格特點又各不相同的楊、吳、武、孫四大流派。

本院的陳式太極拳傳承於河南温縣陳家溝陳式太極拳第十二代傳人陳慶源，課程主要內容由太極拳手形，纏絲勁，四六步重心倒換，步型進退顧盼定等基本功，延伸至精要十八式，老架一路（七十五式），老架二路（炮錘五十六式），劍術（四十九式），陳式競賽套路等。
 

Chen-style Tai Chi Quan originated over 300 years ago from the Chen family village in Wen County, Henan. It was created by the ninth-generation Chen Wangting of the Chen family, based on family traditional boxing techniques, influenced by the principles of the Yijing (I Ching) regarding yin and yang, traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, as well as Qigong and breathing techniques. This martial art features characteristics such as yin-yang balance, combining hardness with softness, alternating fast and slow movements, and relaxed, lively, and elastic motions. It is designed in accordance with human physiological laws and the natural principles of the universe.

Initially, Tai Chi Quan was transmitted only within the Chen family and was little known outside. It began to spread publicly after Chen Changxing passed it to Yang Luchan of Yongnian, Hebei. Over time, Tai Chi evolved into several major styles, including the Yang, Wu, Wu, He, and Sun styles, each with distinctive features.

Our academy’s Chen-style Tai Chi lineage is descended from the twelfth-generation master Chen Qingyuan of Chen family village in Wen County, Henan. The curriculum primarily includes fundamental techniques such as Tai Chi form, silk reeling energy, the key postures of stepping and shifting weight, as well as advancing, retreating, looking, and stopping. It extends to essential routines like the 18 Essential Movements, the Old Frame Route One (75 movements), the Old Frame Route Two (56 cannon hammer movements), Swordsmanship (49 movements), and competitive Chen-style routines.
