Lao Jai Yi Lu - Old Frame First Road

Description

Lao Jia Yi Lu (Old Frame First Road) is the parent form for the other major Taijiquan 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. The oldest “form”, roughly 75 sequences of postures. Very difficult to do correctly due to its length and detail. This is the first real challenge to your focus and endurance.
