If you want to be really healthy, I suggest you practice Tai Ji Chuan.
However, practicing Tai Ji Chuan needs the guidance of a master with clear boxing skills, plus your long-term persistence. Generally, there will be small achievements in 2-3 years.
Let me tell you the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan.
1) Physiological benefits:
Tai Ji Chuan combined the traditional guidance and breathing methods, and paid attention to the close cooperation between fitness, nourishing qi and nourishing heart. On the one hand, it can exercise muscles and relax muscles; On the other hand, through the coordination of breathing and exercise, the internal organs can be massaged and exercised, thus achieving the function of strengthening the body.
Benefits 1: Increase the sensitivity of the nervous system-Tai Ji Chuan requires "quietness and stillness", and the cerebral cortex must rest (quietness) when practicing boxing, and entrusts the task of coordinating the functions of internal and external organs of the whole body to the central nervous system (stillness), which strengthens the sensitivity of the nervous system.
Benefit 2: Smooth the channels and collaterals, blood vessels, lymph and circulatory system-because the time for practicing Tai Ji Chuan is not too short, it can make blood gas run smoothly like ordinary aerobic exercise. After practicing for a certain period of time, you will feel numbness in your fingertips, slight joint murmur, acupuncture, abdominal sound and so on. According to China's medical theory, it is considered that this is a reaction to the patency of meridians. By bending knees and twisting, squeezing and relaxing arterial blood vessels can accelerate blood circulation, increase oxygen supply, promote the metabolism of lymphatic system and enhance personal resistance.
Benefit 3: Benefit 3: Improve flexibility, muscle strength and muscle endurance-Tai Ji Chuan mostly walks slowly in circles and arcs, legs bend and squat, and the center of gravity changes alternately, making the running movements more awkward, awkward and twisted, so that the muscle strength and muscle endurance of each muscle are improved; The flexibility of each joint can be improved by multi-directional and large-scale activities such as the following formula and kicking.
Benefit 4: Improve heart and lung function-practice Tai Ji Chuan, and keep breathing naturally and smoothly. Through deep, long, thin, slow and even abdominal breathing, the chest volume is increased, the times of oxygen inhalation and carbon respiration are increased, the gas is fully exchanged, and the oxygen utilization rate of various organs is relatively improved. Because it takes a long time to practice Tai Ji Chuan (it takes more than 20 minutes to play Tai Ji Chuan 24 times in a row), these aerobic activities can train and improve the cardiopulmonary function.
Benefit 5: Treating chronic digestive tract diseases-because all joints, muscles and bones will pull, entangle, squeeze and relax each other when practicing boxing, and the internal organs will also have the effect of self-massage due to abdominal breathing (abdomen is solid and chest is solid); In addition, the increase of diaphragm fluctuation has a positive stimulating effect on intestinal peristalsis; However, when practicing boxing, the tip of the tongue, upper jaw, lips and teeth can increase saliva secretion and improve digestive function.
In a word, many scientific researches in China and the West have proved that studying Tai Ji Chuan for many years has certain medical effects on various chronic diseases, such as neurasthenia, hypertension, heart disease, dyspepsia, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. This is an inescapable fact!
2) Spiritual interests:
Benefit 1: Relieve stress-when practicing boxing, you should be "calm and have no distractions", relax and concentrate only on "meaning". In addition, Tai Ji Chuan itself requires both rigidity and flexibility, and the oxygen uptake of various organs is relatively improved. Therefore, after practice, people feel relaxed, exhausted, and emotionally stable and dull; After practicing boxing, the blood gas circulation is flourishing, the spirit is full, and the work efficiency is naturally improved. Undoubtedly, this will be of positive help to Hong Kong people who are efficiency-oriented, nervous and stressed.
Benefit 2: Understand and experience the philosophy of harmony between Yin and Yang (Zhao Zhou and1996)-Taiji preach advocates harmony between body and mind, and if it is not strong, it will be difficult, internal and external integration, clear distinction between reality and reality, and combination of rigidity and softness. As the saying goes, "Static touches motion, and static is still static". This philosophy, which emphasizes understanding the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, is the basis of the creative spiritual philosophy in Taiji Zhuan.
Benefit 3: Understand the moral concept that prisoners don't bully the weak and make no excuses —— Tai Ji Chuan's theory of "giving oneself to others and obeying others" shows Tai Ji Chuan's unique martial spirit of "I won't be a prisoner if people don't attack me". Tai Chi advocates hard work, winning the big with small, and all counterattacks are purely in line with the opponent's momentum, enhanced with dexterous movements and less strength, so that the attacker loses accuracy and loses. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan's real power can only be exerted if it is intentionally violated, and its ultimate goal is just "invincible", with no intention of hurting the other side!
Benefit 4: Know how to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character-to practice Tai Ji Chuan, we should stress "being appropriate, being flat and relaxed", which is the best motto for us to live in the world. By practicing Tai Ji Chuan, students can realize the shortcoming of being an upright person: it is not appropriate to work all day. As long as you are "upright", don't take crooked ways and be impartial, you can feel "comfortable"; On weekdays, as long as you learn to be "calm" and put aside the burden of life pressure, you can feel the feeling of "physical relaxation"!
I am a 2 1 year-old girl, and I have been practicing in Tai Ji Chuan for one year. Let me give you some reference.
Those who haven't studied Tai Ji Chuan begin to practice from the 24th style, which is simplified from Tai Ji Chuan, Yang Tai, and is a universal Tai Ji Chuan for all ages.
You mastered the 24-style movement first, and you played it smoothly. Get to know Tai Ji Chuan's boxing theory, movements, qi movements, essentials and moves (of course, you must find a master to teach you these, and someone who really understands boxing theory should teach you. Don't talk to those arrogant Tai Ji Chuan coaches.
Then you can practice the tradition.
To defend yourself, practice Chen Lao Quan first.
I'm practicing Chen's old fist now, and it feels good.
Besides, Tai Ji Chuan is a witness of time. If you want to get results, you must persist for a long time! In addition, don't be greedy, learn a set of fists, learn solid in the front and then learn the back, and learn bit by bit. Stand more piles and practice more basic skills.
Tai Ji Chuan can not only keep fit and cultivate one's morality, but also give you a sense of philosophy and life.
