Xin Jia Yi Lu, which translates as “new frame, first path,” is unique to Chen family Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan). This form was created by Grandmasters Chen Xiao Wang and Chen Xiao Xing’s grandfather, Chen Fa Ke, and further developed by their uncle Chen Zhao Kui. Although it has a few more movements, it is based upon Lao Jia Yi Lu but with more overt spiraling. It is a beautiful form and greatly adds to one’s understanding of Lao Jia Yi Lu.
