SYNOPSIS In legendary Chen Village, everyone is a martial arts master, using their powerful Chen Style Tai Chi in all aspects of their lives. Lu Chan has arrived to train and learn Tai Chi, however the villagers are forbidden to teach Chen Style to outsiders. They do their best to discourage him by challenging him to a series of fights. Everyone, from strong men to young children, fight and beat him using their Tai Chi. Watch the movie to find out how he wins their favor and learns Chen Tai Chi. While most of the story is fabricated Lu Chan is a real historical character who traveled to Chen village and learned Tai Chi from Cheng Chang-Hsing. The movie is interesting and different in a way I can not explain. It has great action and is comical. The way the film was shot is what I found interesting and different. On a scale of 1-5 I would give it about a 3.5. 4 would be the highest. A great film which came out in 2012. You can stream it live on Netflix as well. I think it is great promotion for Tai Chi Chuan. Some of it is not all realistic for Tai Chi. For example, jump kicks. However, it is a movie. Great for a Kung-Fu Movie night!
