Features: Over the years of teaching and performing, Naiqiang also discovered some issues in traditional routines, such as relatively flat rhythms, lack of climax, and straightforward, monotonous layouts. Therefore, he boldly incorporated elements of the Bagua Palm, such as shifting, turning, spinning, and some grappling and sparring techniques, transforming them into the style of Tai Chi. He also added the explosive power and shaking foot techniques from Chen-style Tai Chi, making the content richer. The rhythm remains steady yet dynamic, and the layout gains a sense of dimension. The starting and ending postures of the "A" and "B" routines are not repetitive, and so on. "Newly Edited Tai Chi Sparring" has taken a significant leap forward in both fitness and performance, making it more fitness-oriented, visually appealing, and scientifically grounded, while also embodying a sense of the times. Chinese martial arts have a long history, with their roots in the (folk). Folk martial arts place great emphasis on tradition, which is excellent; however, folk martial arts must also liberate their thinking, dare to break through tradition to develop, keep pace with the times, and innovate. Only in this way can they better integrate into society, better meet people's needs for fitness and entertainment, and keep up with the pace of the times.
