This is Tai Ji Chuan. In the past, the purpose of martial arts was to fight. Wushu has been its core function since the first day it came into being. Even today, Wushu is still the ultimate goal pursued by many Wushu lovers. As the main martial arts school in China, the primary function of Tai Ji Chuan is actual combat. Yang Luchan, who studied Tai Ji Chuan in Yongnian, Hebei Province, was called "Yang Invincible" because he was unbeaten against many martial arts experts in Beijing. It can be seen that Tai Ji Chuan is effective in actual combat.

What basic skills does Tai Ji Chuan need to practice in fitness?

Fitness in Tai Ji Chuan is a systematic project, and the basic skill is to lay a foundation, so we should pay attention to it. Tai Ji Chuan's basic skills have several aspects:

One is the basic hand shape, technique, step shape, footwork, body shape and posture;

Second, some basic formulas, such as cloud hand, single whip, seal and so on.

Third, basic internal skills, such as standing piles and breathing training.

These basic skills can be practiced alone or in combination with boxing routines.

What kind of boxing speed is appropriate?

The speed of Tai Ji Chuan is also a dialectical problem. Generally speaking, people think that Tai Ji Chuan practices slowly. This is in the general sense, especially as a way of fitness. After the routine is proficient, practice slowly at normal speed. It usually takes about 5 minutes to practice a simplified routine now. It doesn't matter if everyone can slow down according to their own situation. In short, we should do the action in place and highlight the main points.

But the understanding of Tai Ji Chuan speed should not be mechanical, but should be changeable. Chen taiji's routine itself has the alternation of speed and speed, which is one of its characteristics. Show it in practice. In study and training, sometimes we have to learn the internal structure of boxing by deliberately changing the speed. For example, when you practice some boxing skills quickly, you will obviously feel its technical meaning. Sometimes, it is meaningless to practice an action repeatedly. As soon as you change the speed, you will experience it from another angle. This is a question of training methods. One more thing, in some traditional schools of Tai Ji Chuan, there are very fast training routines, such as Yang's "Fast Racing", but it has been publicized in the past, so it is little known.
