First of all, pay more attention to the people who practice by themselves, and don't pay too much attention to the people who practice in groups together. Because highly trained boxers don't like the chatter of people around them when practicing boxing, they all prefer to practice in those secluded places.

Secondly, a boxer's skills are often reflected in his daily training. It is not too difficult to judge the level of Tai Ji Chuan's routine drills. Because the boxer who is trained higher is older, you should not pay attention to his graceful movements, but only see if he has made some principled mistakes:

(a) Tai Ji Chuan has three taboos:

1. Hip bulge. That is to say, the buttocks are obviously protruding due to leaning forward. Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "upright tail beam". Except for a few movements, the spine is perpendicular to the ground. If the tail beam is not straight, the opponent can use your potential to push you with a little force.

2. fly. That is, the elbow joint is not perpendicular to the ground. Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "sinking shoulders and lowering elbows". As long as the elbow joint is not perpendicular to the ground, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a chance to display joint skills, and the hand will fall to death if it is not dislocated.

3. Cross. That is, the straight line where the two shoulder joints are located is not parallel to the attack direction, and even does not face the opponent when attacking. In addition to Taixu Boxing, that is, southern Tai Ji Chuan, many Tai Ji Chuan did not pay attention to this taboo, which is extremely dangerous in actual combat. When attacking, if you don't make this taboo sideways, your opponent can only attack you directly, and the target area is the least at this time; However, if you commit this taboo, your opponent can directly attack your front, not only with a large target area, but also easily attacked by your opponent to the abdomen and other key points.

(2) Tai Ji Chuan belongs to the martial arts at home, and pays attention to "Liuhe". That is, "inner trinity"-heart and spirit, heart and qi, qi and strength, and "outer trinity"-hand and foot, elbow and knee, shoulder and hip. Generally speaking, the "inner triad" is not easy to observe, just pay attention to whether his eyes follow his "forward hand" (that is, the hand moving in front). "External triad" is relatively easy to observe. If the stepping horse is an advanced horse, the shoulder and elbow are in place later, which shows that its skills are not enough and it has not reached the "three-in-one". A boxer with high self-cultivation must achieve "six in one".

(3) Boxers with high attainments will basically use the moves in the routine. Ask boldly, if you really know how to use each move, what details you need to pay attention to and what basic skills you need. If you can't make it clear, it's useless for him to play the routine again. Learning is equal to learning in vain.

Third, a courtesy reward is necessary. After finding a good host, invite others to dinner and drink when you are free. This is not flattery, but necessary etiquette. Even if you don't have time, you should give a little "tea fee" or people will think you are a little incompetent and may not teach you real kung fu.

Finally, if you can't find a good master for a long time according to this method, you should practice flexibility first and relax your muscles. The standard is: you can split (a word horse) and your elbow can touch the ground when you stand forward. This will help you practice in the future (if you find Master), so that you can learn boxing faster and prolong your life.
