Little dictionary

[sicko]

Hello.
I would like to understand better the Tai Chi language. Would you help me out with your knowledge and make a little dictionary?

Like:

Fajin -
Xinja -
Erlu -
. . .

maybe names of the: 1st old form, 2nd old form, 1st new for, 2nd new form ... (I'm referring to Chen style)
maybe parts of the body: just the basic ones - wrist, hands, elbow ...
And anything that comes to your mind.

This will help a lot as a lot of videos are half English half Chinese.

 

[Xue Sheng]

老架 Lao jia – old frame
新架 Xin jia – new frame
小架 xiao jia - small frame
Yilu - first ruotine
Erlu - second routine
發勁 Fajin - discharge power explosively

Laojia Erlu and Xinjia Erlu also known as cannon fist
