*陳炳太極院*
The Chen Bing Taiji Academy was established by Master Chen Bing who is a 20th generation direct descendant and leader of Chen Family Taijiquan from Chenjiagou (Chen Village) in Wenxian, Henan Province. Chenjiagou is the birth place of Taijiquan. Taijiquan was created by Chen Wangting who was the 9th generation standard bearer of the Chen Family about 400 years ago. All Taijiquan styles such as Yang, Wu, Sun and other various styles were derived from Chen Family Taijiquan. Since 1600, Chen Family Taijiquan has been practiced by the Chen Family in China as part of the Chen Family tradition. Master Chen Bing is the next Standard Bearer who will become the leader of the authentic Chen Family Taijiquan tradition.
 
The Silk Reeling Energy that Chen Family Taijiquan possesses is the key essence of how practitioners cultivate powerful energy and refresh the body and mind. By practicing this authentic Chen Family Taijiquan, practitioners are able to understand correct postures, usage of Qi (energy) and the changes of the negative and the positive energy (Yin and Yang forces) in practice.
Our organization only practices and teaches Chen Family Taijiquan as taught by Master Chen Bing without any unnecessary addition or subtraction.
 
*Tai Chi or Taijiquan (Taiji)*
Although it is common that people use a word of Tai Chi (Tai Chi Chuan), this is not correct. Tai Chi is the western way of spelling Chinese Taijiquan. The correct spelling according to the Chinese Pinyin System is Taijiquan. It is often called 'Taiji' without 'Quan.' 'Taiji' means the ultimate change of Yin and Yang (the negative and the positive energy). And 'Quan' means the fist of martial arts. It can be translated Grand Ultimate Fist in English. Although a lot of people say Tai Chi instead of Taijiquan, Taijiquan is the correct loanword orthography.
