The Chen style (陳氏) is considered to be the senior branch of the five main Tai Chi Chuan family styles and the third in terms of popularity.
Chen Changxing is also traditionally associated with a teacher known as Jiang Fa (蔣發 Jiǎng Fā), although it is no longer clear if their relationship was a teacher/student one (or even who was senior) or if they were colleagues.
The Chen Lao Jia consists of two forms Yi lu and Er lu and is the style taught by Chen Fake in Beijing.
