Birthplace of Chen Taijiquan
Chenjiagou: Chen Family Ditch.
Chenjiagou is the ancestral home of Chen-family Taijiquan. The village’s name reflects the historic terrain of the area, where generations of the Chen family preserved and developed the art that Master Chen Huixian now teaches in Kansas City and online.
