The biggest difference between Taiji Whip and several whips (nine-section whip, unicorn whip, shepherd whip and fitness whip) is the difference in teaching and training methods, followed by the difference in exercise methods and forms. Details are as follows:

Nine-section whip was produced in an unknown age and made of steel. It was once used as an accessory weapon of the Qing army. There are many differences between modern nine-section whip making methods and ancient ones, which pay more attention to performance.

Shepherd's whip, also known as hunting whip, originated in Xixia, which is today's Ningxia region. This is a self-defense weapon invented by grassland herders in grazing life, mostly made of cowhide. In the past, the shepherd whip was mainly short whip, which was practical. Nowadays, most of them are whips, which can be slapped, and there are many fitness performances, which are not as practical as before.

Kirin whip originated in Shenyang, and its source can be traced back to the driving whip of northeast carriage in the last century. Now it is composed of a chain and a whip, and its production process is controversial on the Internet, so it is not stated here.

Tai Chi Whip was originally created by Mr. Han Sheng, and was officially popularized on 20 10. There are two main forms. The rope is called Tai Chi Whip, which is suitable for ordinary people to exercise and is also the basic whipping method for beginners. The chain is called Taiji Chain Whip, which is suitable for friends who have a certain whipping foundation. There are whips and beaded whips, all designed by Mr. Han Sheng. Taiji whip is a short whip, with simple movements, internal and external training, and no complicated whip flowers, but it requires high personal physical fitness, so Taiji whip practice is a process of constantly improving physical fitness.

First, the difference between Taiji whip and Jiujiebian whip

The fundamental difference between Taiji whip and Jiujiebian whip is the difference of "quality". The traditional training method of Jiujiebian is mainly in the form of training, paying attention to all kinds of fancy and beautiful movements and routines. There are hundreds of movements and routines, but few are really practical. Some movements are comparable to acrobatics, but apart from being more ornamental, they are neither practical nor sloppy, which is easy to cause self-injury and bad for your health!

The training method of Taiji whip emphasizes people's health and physical quality. Through internal and external training, gradually improve physical condition, improve physical fitness, and gain the ability to use and control soft soldiers. The effect of this training is that all soft soldiers, whether they are nine-section whips, chain whips, soft whips, meteors and other soft instruments, can be used by me. Tai Chi whipping training abandons the traditional fancy routine teaching method, does not waste time on tricks, pays attention to practical application ability, strives for perfection, is concise and efficient, so most people can achieve the expected effect through training.

Different from the nine-section whip, Taiji whip emphasizes people-oriented. To practice soft weapons well, we must first change our physical fitness, and gain the ability to control and use soft weapons through the exercise of being soft inside and rigid outside, which is not limited by soft weapons. Taiji whip movement does not need mechanical routine movements, and its speed and strength come from its own adjustment. When you are well trained, you can use the soft whip method at will. Only when the physical quality is improved to a freely adjustable level can we use the soft whip freely, regardless of whether we are whipped by the whip or not, nor will we be limited to any tricks. Therefore, Taiji Whip emphasizes that "people whip people."

Second, the difference between Taiji Whip and Kirin Whip, Shepherd Whip and Fitness Whip:

The length of Tai Chi whip is generally around 1 m to 1.3 m. Kirin whip, shepherd whip and fitness whip are generally over 1.3 m, 1.5 m or more, or even 3 or 4 m long.

Tai Chi whipping mainly changes in three circles: horizontal, vertical and oblique. It pays attention to the use and overall strength of the whip, and its techniques are mainly pulling and playing. Kirin whip, shepherd whip and fitness whip are mostly based on shaking, pursuing the sound produced by whipping flowers and shaking.

Taiji whip thinks that whip basically has no self-defense function, and the so-called whip is beyond reach. Taiji whip pays attention to the dual effects of fitness and self-defense, which is different from the whipping action of unicorn whip, shepherd whip and fitness whip.

The training of Taiji whip includes the basic whipping method of inner softness and outer softness, and pays attention to the unified cultivation of body and whip. The unicorn whip, shepherd whip and fitness whip are all flower-practicing whips, pursuing beautiful routines and movements.

To sum up, the essential difference between Taiji Whip and other whipping methods at present lies in different teaching methods and practice methods, different whipping forms, different cultural connotations, different modeling designs and different fitness effects.
