Highest Level in Martial Arts by Zhang Zhijun

Unleash your body's potential with this documentary/research. In just a couple of
minutes - no more than half-way across shadow boxing training...

In association with China Institute of Sports science's Test Labs (CISS) and the famous Tai Chi master Zhang Zhi Jun, the Most Advanced experimentation ever conducted on Tai Chi Chuan delivers the long awaiting answers from any internal martial art practitioner no mater his years of practice:

What are the real principles in Tai Chi Chuan combat system?

How can you apply immediately these principles without even at a beginning level?

Knowledge is king not only in our modern information oriented society and this was even vital for any martial artist defending his own life or his honor in fighting challenge or simply in the streets. In China as well as in any part of the world Tai Chi Chuan surprises and enchantes with its elegant and relaxed moves but many doubts exist about their effectiveness in real fighting. "Soft beating hard" has much deeper theoretical background that most people ignore. When modern and down-to-earth explanations issued from mechanical and electrical sensors data analysis met Traditional Chinese Wisdom, clarifying immediately Tai Chi Ch'uan skills through realistic applications: your perception of martial arts will definitively change and you will be able to apply this new vision in your daily training, but also you will be able to apply it with a partner or even in real situation of physical confrontation. Silk reeling - spiral twisting, Peng jing - ward off power, dimmak - internal injuries ... All these traditional training methods and techniques are much clarified after analysis of these tests data.

Hi, this is David Zhu. After several decades in China with top living experts: meeting, studying with them and testing their major methods of internal martial arts including Dachengquan/Yiquan, Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan), Xingyiquan (Hsing Yi Chuan), Baguazhang (Pa Kua Chang)...I am proud to provide here one of the most advanced scientific materials decoding Tai Chi Chuan and more precisely Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan but as these are universal principles underneath they are valid for any (internal) martial art.

Tired of empty movement or trying your best to mimic your present Tai Chi instructor or your taolu video?

In most cases anyone who starts Tai Chi Chuan has to mimic, before all, his instructor, but what is next? How many have the right knowledge to build intelligently further steps in Tai Chi Chuan achievement. How it would nice to be able, after understanding his real principles, to defeat an opponent stronger and larger than you!! But how do you start? Even after 10 years of routine practice without the right knowledge, probably having read tons of books repeating the same "four ounces defeating thousand pounds" stuff... But still no satisfactory answer and especially no clues to get close to this Highest Level of Mastery in combat! Many practitioners will even stop their practice, resigning from searching these missing keys or just focusing on Tai Chi Chuan movements aesthetics or healing benefits ...

Fortunately for us, China Institute of Sports Science Test Lab made it clear for us.

Should you listen to the traditional discourse of lineage or authenticity of form of some instructors, with such original form or coming from any style founder's village? Or you prefer more tangible facts issued directly from scientific testing and rational analysis?

Or based your understanding through progressive scientific testing while sensing physical data such as force, pressure, speed, acceleration ... and using digital scanning and bio-mechanics analysis to explain how, from apparent "relaxed movement", a proven top Tai Chi expert can issue a fully integrated movement with explosive power and defeat a much powerful (and younger) opponent?

Here are the major points that this video series will reveal (and what most Tai Chi instructors will never tell you)

"Thank you for sharing this knowledge! The vibrating lethal Fist in DVD3 opens definitively new perspectives in fajing knowledge. by Claudius P. - Sete (France)

I am really excited to write for you my opinion about the knowledge given in your videos and for me the 3rd DVD concluded perfectly the experiment on Tai Chi Chuan.
For those who train Tai Chi Chen: this gives you the confidence in training your fist from slow motion up to final Fajing speed. This litterally liberates me from the quest of power. No more complex about not training huge muscles but rather pursuing the more refined, whole body and penetrative newly form of power.
I will not reveal further this true discovery as to respect these materials contents. But sure I recommend it to any practitioner looking for tangible ways to improve his martial skills and not the blurry common stuff. Again thanks to Master Zhang ZJ !!!

"A break through in Tai Chi skills explanations " by Luigi P. Tai Chi Chuan Instructor - Alba (Italy)

It saves considerably time and self experience when you get to the principles exposed in these videos, you clarify immediately your present practice a huge step. It's no more the story of "cultural barrier" or language. I consider the experimentation of CIS team as a breakthrough in Tai Chi Chuan skills explanations. This is also very useful then to use the contents for my courses and stages especially when it comes to the fighting aspects. Not only techniques but "powerful techniques" whitin soft movements. The Gripping hand technique is my favorite now as I can immediately show to my students and visitor a physical skill spcific to Tai Chi Fighting system besides the purely health aspects. But also for my own training, focusing more in the specific techniques and to improve my fajing... I admired Zhang Zhijun, even not so famous, his skills are amazing at 65, to beat so elegantly all his younger oppoenents and he has the courage to reveal all his skills in full experimentation tests: HE IS THE MAN.
Surely I will recommend this video.

"David, you did again: an awesome material putting on the edge of internal martial arts knowledge"... by Ramon E. - Madrid (Spain)

David, you did again: an awesome material on the edge of internal martial arts knowledge
I really love this documentory, we can follow step by step the discovery of real roots in Tai Chi combat skills and just after you are eager to try by yourself strategies/techniques exposed. Sometimes I was surprised by techniques used by Zhang ZJ, especially his fists which were quite unexpected in Tai Chi arsenal generally speaking, but in the same time I reconsider what you said as, principles "valid for any (internal） martial art“.
Zhang's punch is so closed to xingyiquan's -benqquan- Thus even being a tai chi expert, Zhang ZJ gives us the idea how Guo Yunshen (XYQ Top master) could defeat any opponent with a single punch...
After getting the explanations I felt that I capture something immediately I could try in my own practice.
Last thing: I just think that by adding a chapter about standing position within Tai Chi Chuan this documentory should be even more complete.
Again great information, great wisdom and great expert!!!!

Now let's see in details the contents of each part of "The Highest level in martial arts".

After launching in 2012 the first two parts (I and II） of “The Highest level in Martial Arts" , original parts III and IV have been synthesized into a single Part III which is now available below.
Each video is in Chinese with English subtitles.

P.S. Don't stay anymore without this knowledge. This video series will give a new perception of Tai Chi Chuan and you'll feel it immediately in your Tai Chi practice.

P.P.S. Anyone can understand Tai Chi's skills, you don't need to come to China or to pray that some Tai Chi "gurus" to be willing to teach you the SECRET things after ten years of loyal lessons... Rather grab these videos and get immediately the real vision of Tai Chi skills as they were when Yang Luchang or Chen Fake came in Beijing, simply effective while being totally unpredictable..... Leave the darkness of confusion to others and start right now to walk in the Hall of these famous masters.
