Master Malee Khow
of Manchester, Connecticut
performs Zhaobao Style
Tai Chi Chuan
- Zhaobao Style originates from the Zhaobao Village,
Henan Province, China. Although bearing similarities to
Chen Style Tai Chi, Zhaobao's history claims origins with
Jiang Fa in the late 16th century as well as some Chen
Style influences. Zhaobao features two, main forms,
including a 108 posture big frame and a 75 posture small
frame, refined form. Both are practiced in in three heights:
high, medium, and low frame. The style emphasizes
flowing, integrated movements, yi (mind intent) and the
use of spiraling chin na (qinna) techniques for
self-defense applications. Zhaobao training includes
its own neigong energy development methods, based
on Taoist systems of mind/energy (qi) proficiency.
