(i'm guessing, of course) chen style is relatively rare here in the philippines, as yang style is the most commonly encountered form of taiji. our circle got lucky, as we were introduced by a friend to a martial arts instructor. as luck would have it, he hailed from chenjiagou, and proceeded to teach us lao jia, along with proper zhan zhuang and chan si jin. and yes, there is no substitute for a good teacher. :) ah! a fellow filipino!

I'm an amateur but have been "trying" for several years now. Matagal, as they say in the Philippines. (Longsuffering patience will someday yield results.)

That's the only way i can improve on my chinese! anyway back to this posture - even in yang style there are different ways to do it - all depends on what you're training. e.g. yang chengfu style is more outstretched but CMC and yang shou zhong style is not stretched at all. the pix shows one with diagonal stretched arms and the other with horizontal stretched arms and the first one looks more like the chen taiji….
