Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into old frame, big frame, small frame and low frame, and its footwork and gait are also different. * * There are eighteen kinds of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, which are divided into old frame, big frame, small frame and low frame, and their footwork and step type are also different, and there are eighteen kinds of * *. The following is what I arranged for you: Welcome to read!

Yang Chengfu, the pioneer of Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan, believes that Tai Ji Chuan "originated from the foot, originated from the leg, dominated by the waist, shaped by the finger, and walked from the foot to the waist of the leg, so it will become an organic whole". "Taijiquan Gymnastics" emphasizes that "the feet are divided into virtual and real, and the ups and downs are like cats", which shows the importance of gait in Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan. The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is based on the kung fu of feet, that is, footwork. The application of Tai Ji Chuan can't be separated from the direction and orientation of footsteps, and the foot is the root of orientation, and the dish boxing can't be separated from the root, so "losing the root" loses the foundation of the traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan. Kung fu is not good, mainly because I have never practiced lower limb footwork. If you don't practice under your feet, you won't get loose all over. Tai Ji Chuan practiced palms and fists, not feet. Fist first is the first training subject of traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan.

Boxing proverbs say, "Look at seven points, look at three points", "One step is wrong, one step is crooked" and "unstable steps are confused by boxing". Thus, the footwork is the basic kung fu of the traditional Yang Tai air footwork, and there is nothing wrong with it. Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan can be divided into old frame, big frame, small frame and low frame, with different footwork and types. * * There are eighteen kinds: sitting step, bending step, backward step, grinding step, fishing step, auxiliary step, backward step, grafting step, fairy step, double step, turning step, winding step, collapsing step and twisting step. The rhyme of the footwork is: "The meandering step moves to grind the fishing plug, the fairy collapses, the oblique chase is eighteen steps, and the mouse and cat turn gently."

The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan takes an arc in boxing, so the straight step is forbidden. The arc step bends from front to back and slowly steps out. Toes gradually become upturned from drooping, with heels touching the ground first, and then palms and toes touching the ground. To fully realize the rampage from left to right, we must first put down our toes, and then fully realize our soles and heels. At that time, my teacher Jin Xiwu said: Lao Yang Tai Ji Chuan is load-bearing, and it can only be sold when the weight is on one foot. The connotation is the unity of "step" and "pile". "There is a pile in the potential, and there is potential in the pile". It is not allowed to move the center of gravity upward. Jin Xiwu and Cui Ershi taught me boxing, saying: Every style of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan contains grinding steps, and the steps should distinguish yin and yang, and the feet should distinguish between reality and falsehood.

The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan pays the most attention to the use of feet in boxing, pushing hands and Sanda sparring, and all kinds of feet are hidden in Tai Ji Chuan's imaginary step. Take Yang Tai Ji Chuan's new frame lunge as an example: the new frame moves forward, the body sits back, the center of gravity moves back, the front foot swings outward, the sole of the foot steps steadily, the front foot bows forward, the rear foot steps forward, and the body moves forward. In short, it is "shifting weight" before and after. Yang-style traditional Tai Ji Chuan old rack, big rack and small rack don't lose weight, so boxing is load-bearing. According to the calculation, there are 8.5 seconds before the new frame and 5 seconds before the old frame. Obviously, the old frame is two-thirds faster than the new frame, which is 3.5 seconds.

In the use of martial arts, we can find that the new framework is not as urgent as the old one. Today's traditional Yang Tai Ji Chuan lunge, in Lao Yang Tai Ji Chuan, is called the progress before the oblique step. This step is a lot of work. After three or five steps, the heat jumped from the soles of the feet to the waist. Oblique step is a rush step, and five words should be highlighted-"bend, grind, arc, stretch and grasp". The song is "Bend your legs and step sideways, bend and stretch in an arc to follow the ground, lower your hips and grab the ground, and concentrate on moving forward." This step requires the front and rear heels to be at right angles. The distance between the two heels is about 70 cm, and the width of the bottom edge is 1.5 times to twice the length of one's feet. The distance between the two heels is 75 ~ 80 cm. When walking, the stride size should be just right. The stride length is too large, so it is impossible to improvise when moving forward and backward, and it is easy to lose momentum passively; Too small a stride is not conducive to collapse, hip drop, sinking of internal qi and stability of center of gravity. No matter how big the stride is, you can't step into a straight step when the distance between the bottom edges of the two heels is less than the length of your feet. Many beginners easily make the mistake of standing on the horizontal line when doing lunges, imaginary steps, servant steps, etc., which leads to unstable center of gravity. The oblique step of the traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan frame is now the lunge. In its routine, the steps of "pushing, pressing, kneeling, moving, punching, planting and punching fingers" are all right-angle steps. When walking obliquely, it is required that the knee tip and toe of the front leg form a vertical line and support the whole body weight. Including "flexion, grinding, arc, extension, grip" and other steps, of which "grinding" is the grinding step, which is an important footwork in Yangjia Boxing. It is said that the first three generations of the Yang family paid special attention to the grinding step, which ranked fourth in the traditional Yang style boxing footwork.

In Lao Yang style Tai Ji Chuan frame, almost every style contains a grinding step. The grinding step seems simple, but its connotation is profound, and it has the following functions.

1 Let the practitioner stand straight and impartial. When walking, it is required to get the collar on Baihui point of the head, with the head upright and the spirit penetrating the top, which means ethereal and natural. This can make the limbs relax as much as possible and calmly use consciousness to eliminate the sense of stiffness during exercise. Because of the heavy waist strength, the spine is relaxed and elongated, and the body remains upright, so as not to lean forward and lean back, and tilt left and right.

2. Let the practitioner rotate the ankle and knee, and rotate the lumbar spine. At the same time, the spiral operation of shoulders and hips will drive the lower limbs to tighten in the opposite direction, forming a spiral movement. Because the shoulders rotate with the rotation of the waist and buttocks, the shoulders can be flush, follow up up and down, run through the front and back, and the waist rotates straight forward, thus completing the traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan oblique step, that is, lunge.

3. Make the exerciser's sole roll left and right, which is beneficial to the movement of foot joints. There are 4 1 acupoints under the ankles of both feet, which are closely related to the health of the whole body and connect some tissues and organs of the head, neck, trunk and limbs. The physiological functions and pathological changes of these tissues and organs are dominated by the meridians of the foot, that is, "one pulse is not harmonious and the whole body is uncomfortable." There are thirty-six pathological reflex zones in the sole of the foot, which can achieve the purpose of treating diseases due to the rolling of the foot. In addition, it can also prevent and correct flat feet and splayed feet.

Step 4 takes the big toe as the guide, has a direction and an angle, and clearly leads the knee with the foot and the thigh with the knee, which can not only achieve "complete unity" but also "the whole family".

The grinding step is not only valued by the traditional Yang Tai attack, but also the basic training step of the army. If you turn back, there is a backward step, first grinding the left heel and then grinding the right heel. The purpose is to seek spiritual life. Flexibility lies in footwork, footwork lies in footwork, its change is stepping, and its use changes with the change of the enemy.

The "arc" in the oblique step means that the leg and the step should take an arc. Yang Lao Quan and Da Quan are symbolic circular movements. Hands and feet move in an arc, and the roundness of limbs can produce strength and elasticity. Only when the feet are bent can the strength of spinning be generated. Hip circle, knee circle and ankle circle form a spatial rotation curve rooted in the foot, which is dominated by the waist and shaped like a finger. The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan's old frame emphasizes the essentials of the spiral circle in boxing, pushing hands and Sanshou. There are no circles and arcs, unlike the traditional Yang Tai Ji Chuan. At the same time, all joints of the whole body are in a relaxed state, and circular execution can make muscles and viscera interact, which can play a good fitness effect.

Yang Chengfu said in Ten Essentials that "ups and downs are like cat steps" and pointed out that cat steps are the core and essentials of Tai Chi walking. The catwalk is included in the lunge, that is, the lunge includes the catwalk. The cat's footsteps are light, light and steady. The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan old rack requires both form and spirit, "like a stork tying a rabbit, like a cat catching a mouse", with the same form and spirit as a cat, claws, solid spirit and steady steps. We should not only grasp the characteristics of lightness, softness, agility, quietness and "soft landing" when cats walk, but also understand the aura of high concentration, caution, slowness, snooping, retreating and taking steps at will when walking on thin ice and walking like a cliff.

Walking is the main basic step in the traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan routine, which requires a lot of exercise. Long-term training can make legs muscular and lower limbs strong, and can also prevent and treat common diseases such as lumbar hyperosteogeny, calcaneal hyperosteogeny and knee joint deformity. The difficulty of traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan lies not in the palm, fist and hook of upper limbs, but in the footwork and gait of lower limbs.

In a word, the biggest feature of traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan footwork is the integration of "step" and "pile". In practice, only by keeping in mind the basic requirements of rolling and arc walking at all times can we strengthen the strength of lower limbs, lay a good foundation for relaxation, and achieve the effect of strengthening the fighting and defense ability and strengthening the body. ?
