Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of boxing, so it can be used in martial arts. Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to static braking, is flexible and rigid, and moves around the waist continuously. He made a difference by touching, sticking, picking, stumbling, elbowing and leaning against the eight doors, which changed a lot and won a surprise.

Matters needing attention in Tai Ji Chuan's exercises
1. The speed should be even.
Beginners in Tai Ji Chuan should be slow rather than fast. They should practice kung fu slowly to lay the foundation, learn the movements first and master the essentials. After proficiency, whether the speed is slightly faster or slower,
Must be unified from beginning to end. Playing games? Simplify Tai Ji Chuan? The normal speed is 4 ~ 6 minutes. Some people practice slowly, which can last for 8 ~ 9 minutes, but not too slowly. Playing games? Forty-eight Tai Chi Chuan? Is it 8 ~ 10 minutes? Eighty-eight Taiji Biography takes about 20 minutes.
2. Don't go up and down.
When I was a beginner, my posture could be higher or lower, but now? Rise? Need to determine the degree of height, and then the whole set of movements should be kept at the same height (except? Come down? Outside). The weak had better practice in a higher posture. With the improvement of movement proficiency and physique, practice with medium posture or low posture. Tai Ji Chuan's practice notes, Tai Ji Chuan's practice notes.
3. We should properly master the amount of exercise.
Although Tai Ji Chuan is not as vigorous as long boxing such as gymnastics, he still has a certain amount of exercise because he needs to do slow motion when the upper and lower limbs are bent to a certain extent, and he also needs to concentrate and unify the height inside and outside the whole body. In particular, the exercise of the lower limbs is relatively large. Because to fight this kind of boxing, on the one hand, two legs are required to distinguish between reality and falsehood, and the weight is often borne by one leg to support the weight when the knee joint is bent; On the other hand, from one posture to another, it takes a long time to change the center of gravity from one leg to the other, which greatly increases the load on the lower limbs. So, beginners practice once or twice? Simplify Tai Ji Chuan? Feeling sore legs is a normal physiological phenomenon. Keep practicing and this leg pain will go away.
Step 4 persevere
Practicing Tai Ji Chuan, like other physical exercises, requires persistence. You should not only actively participate in the practice at the beginning, but also keep practicing. According to your own production, work or study time, it is best to arrange some time for practice in your spare time every day. Why not? Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets? 、? If you catch a cold, or think you have already practiced, or feel that your state has improved, you will not continue to practice. That not only can't gradually improve the technical level of Tai Ji Chuan, but also can't keep improving. More importantly, it can't better achieve the effect of keeping practicing Tai Ji Chuan to keep fit and prevent diseases. Under normal circumstances, you can practice in the courtyard and open space of your unit before and after class or during recess every day. If possible, it is best to practice Tai Ji Chuan in parks, Woods, squares, rivers, grasslands and other places with fresh air and quiet environment in the early morning or evening, and practice the precautions of Tai Ji Chuan's combined marketing.
What are the misunderstandings in Tai Ji Chuan's study?
Myth 1: Tai Chi? Songrou? It is not something outside the body, but a natural feature existing in the human body itself.
I have come into contact with many students who study Tai Ji Chuan. Most of them think that the relaxation of Tai Chi is a thing outside the body. Only by practicing Tai Ji Chuan can we relax Tai Chi. What are the misunderstandings in Tai Ji Chuan's study? Actually, this is wrong, right? Songrou? The author thinks: Tai Chi? Songrou? It is one of the natural characteristics of the human body, exists in each of us, and is something mixed or attached by various forces in the body. We practice Tai Chi Chuan to extract the softness from various forces and then sublimate it to nothing.
Myth 2:? Songrou? Is it an entity? Empty? It's thought, which is wrong.
In a certain issue of Jason Wu magazine, I saw an author say: Loose? It means body relaxation, not body. Empty? 、? Nothing? It refers to thoughts. The author thinks that for Taiji Chuan, Song is an entity, right? Empty? Explain that the thought is not comprehensive. If you simply think? Empty? Is the thought divided into Tai Chi Chuan? Empty? The objective truth of Taiji Zhuan is a manifestation of unrealized truth and immanence. ? Empty? It is both an idea and an entity, an idea in practice and an entity in practice in the body. It is unified, not divided, just as spirit and body are unified, and there is no spirit without body.
Myth 3: From the very beginning, I set up the idea of carrying forward Chinese Wushu, becoming a master and leaving a name in history.
Many new students in Tai Ji Chuan have the idea of becoming masters like Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Luchan, and are determined to carry forward Chinese Wushu and become a generation of Tai Chi masters. Here, I personally think that it is best to learn from Tai Ji Chuan with a normal mind. The main purpose of studying Tai Ji Chuan is to keep fit. The journey to learn from Tai Ji Chuan is long and arduous, and it will not be smooth sailing (of course, it does not rule out smooth sailing for a few people). First of all, it is difficult to find a master. Learning from Tai Ji Chuan and finding a teacher who knows Tai Ji Chuan can be said to be the first and most difficult step in learning from Tai Ji Chuan. If you can't find a teacher who knows Tai Ji Chuan, it's empty talk to learn from Tai Ji Chuan. Second, we must have the opportunity. Tai Ji Chuan pays great attention to nature and opportunity. There are many people who are predestined friends, but many people who stand in front of him may not know that they are real Taiji masters, because he can't correctly identify them. In most people's minds, the most common thing is flying sand and walking stones, combining rigidity with softness, jumping and jumping, and it is difficult to see the real merits at a glance. Moreover, even if I met a real master, or studied in front of him for a while, I broke up again for various reasons (such as their different tempers, such as improper teaching methods, such as my misunderstanding and suspicion of the teacher in the middle, etc.). ), and this situation is not uncommon for the author.
Myth # 4: I think learning from Tai Ji Chuan can take shortcuts, and I have a tricky mentality.
Tai Ji Chuan is a kungfu, and learning from Tai Ji Chuan is a solid and big project. There should be no short-term opportunism. What are the misunderstandings in Tai Ji Chuan's study? What are the misunderstandings in Tai Ji Chuan's study? Only through painstaking efforts can we get real kung fu. This is the same as building a skyscraper. First, the foundation must be compacted. Building the foundation is more important than building the bottom layer. It must go deep and there must be no falsehood. Many students secretly think that after learning boxing, they can get the real power of Tai Chi by playing boxing every day, which is opportunistic psychology. Many students visit famous teachers everywhere in order to learn Tai Chi. For many days or even years, the teacher only talked about basic skills, not boxing, and finally left angrily and said? The teacher is conservative and doesn't teach kung fu? 、? This teacher has no real kung fu? Wait a minute. As we all know, teachers are not conservative. But the teacher wants you to build the tallest building in the world, which is why he has been telling you the basic skills of Tai Ji Chuan. The teacher who sent the students away after teaching boxing has no real kung fu.
Myth # 5: I am bent on finding the profound Tai Ji Chuan martial arts.
Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts is the same as other martial arts. I have heard many people talk about Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense: Tai Ji Chuan has no attack and defense; A certain type of Tai Ji Chuan has a small secret transmission frame, which is designed for martial arts, otherwise you won't fight; Pushers can only practice stepping on flowers in actual combat, and so on. Even on the Internet, the vast number of young Tai Ji Chuan students have a war of words about Tai Ji Chuan's fighting skills and traditional martial arts and Sanda. As we all know, Taiji Chuan has a skill, and its skill is similar to that of other sects. Traditional martial arts of all factions should be practiced from the lunge. Whether it's domestic boxing or foreign boxing, if you just practice boxing, you won't have any martial arts. Only after the teacher told us about the transformation of attack and defense can we constantly ponder over the progress in actual combat and talk about the actual combat of martial arts. Just like watching boxing and Sanda, have you ever seen a so-called talented athlete who won the championship or achieved good results directly in the ring after learning theoretical knowledge and practicing straight boxing, swing boxing and hook boxing? This is not the result of years of actual combat. The same is true of traditional Wushu, which goes through this process, and it is not only traditional Wushu, but also all kinds of science and technology in the world. It's a fact! Not a fantasy!
Myth # 6: You think you can learn Tai Chi from Tai Ji Chuan.
Tai Chi predecessors always said: Tai Ji Chuan's kung fu is in boxing. In other words, you need a boxing rack, and only a boxing rack can practice real kung fu. However, there is a premise here, that is, you must understand that Tai Chi is soft and firm, and then you can practice boxing under the correct guidance of the teacher. I have seen many Tai Chi teachers teach students boxing, talk about boxing classics, and then finish teaching the sages boxing classics. Why? Because he doesn't know Tai Chi. Teachers don't even know Tai Chi. Can students really learn it well?
Master Wang Zongyue said in "On Boxing": The more you learn, the more refined you become. In other words, only by understanding Tai Ji Chuan's softness can we practice more and more in the process of boxing. Therefore, if you want to gain the real power of Taiji, you can't use CD boxing, but you need to learn internal skills.
What are the health preserving functions of Tai Ji Chuan?
1, function of respiratory organs
The main respiratory organ of the human body is the lung, which completes the gas exchange between the body and the outside world. Human respiration is related to gender, sexual age, body posture, altitude, temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed. Under normal circumstances, men breathe 12 to 18 times per minute, and women 13 to 65438+. The movement of the diaphragm of zang-fu organs is between one and two centimeters, but when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, the body is guided by qi at will, while the body is guided by the cooperation of limbs, so that the qi is distributed all over the body and the pores of the whole body are wide open. The cosmic qi inhaled from the pores of the whole body meets and merges with the vitality in the body in Dantian. Due to reverse abdominal breathing, not only the diaphragm movement increased by four to five times, but also the upright vital capacity of the body increased. Medical proverbs say that "an inch smaller waist can prolong life for ten years", and the whole body is well developed, so that all organs of the whole body can play their due normal functions, provide nutrients needed by each cell, play a potential self-healing function, inhibit muscle atrophy, hair loss and skeletal softening, not only slow down aging and degeneration, but also prevent and treat various diseases of the respiratory system. What health care functions does Tai Ji Chuan have?
2. Regulation of viscera function
The main function of Tai Ji Chuan exercise is to regulate and control the functions of zang-fu organs. According to the conclusion of modern medical research, "because the internal organs of human body are managed by autonomic nervous system, and autonomic nerve is composed of sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve, many diseases in human body are caused by dysfunction of autonomic nerve. For example, if you can always make slow, gentle, smooth and natural movements, your limbs will interact with internal qi, adjust the autonomic nervous system together with the central nervous system, and maintain the functions of internal organs. " Consciously guiding the internal and external combined and interactive Tai Ji Chuan exercise can not only regulate the visceral function, but also nourish the bones and muscles, so that the heart rate is normal, the qi and blood are renewed, the gastrointestinal peristalsis is normal and rapid, the intake of camp guards is good, the mood is stable, the spirit is full and vigorous, and the life can be prolonged and naturally successful.
3, the function of digestive organs
Tai Ji Chuan exercise, due to the cooperation of reverse abdominal breathing, increased the breathing depth, made the diaphragm move up and down, promoted the function of digestive organs to be greatly increased, eliminated the accumulated gas in the stomach, kept the Gu Dao unobstructed, adjusted and improved the meridians and digestive system, and provided sufficient intake and supply of ying Wei. At the same time, the secretion function of salivary gland fluid increases, and saliva flows into the stomach with breathing, which not only promotes the digestion ability of the stomach, but also helps the self-treatment function in human body and prevents many diseases from happening easily.
4, the function of the heart system
When people are quiet, the opening of hair vessels only accounts for about 2.5% of the total number, and the circulation speed of qi and blood is slow, and the muscles of skeletal muscles are in the limbs, so the required supply of camp and health is reduced, just like a high tap water pipe, which is short of water due to water pressure or water pipe blockage, whether the heartbeat and blood circulation in the blood vessels are smooth or not. When people practice Tai Ji Chuan, their limbs contract and flex at a certain posture and flexion speed, and their internal qi expands, and their movements are gentle and gentle. Because the blood circulation speed is accelerated, the waste in the blood is removed, the capillaries are fully supplied, the physiological function is maintained, and the invasion of germs and other toxic substances is avoided, so it has obvious effects on preventing and treating arteriosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease.
5, the function of the nervous system
According to the research of sports doctors, Tai Ji Chuan's relaxation, slowness, uniformity, softness, lightness and fluency, coupled with the fluctuation of microwave, can make the cerebral cortex in a state of self-restraint and rest, thus restoring the dysfunction caused by excessive excitement or strenuous exercise. Because when the cerebral cortex is inhibited, the oxygen consumption decreases, the oxygen content in the cerebral blood increases, the frequency of brain electromagnetic waves increases, and the mental activity of the central nervous system responsible for the human body returns to normal, so it has the best therapeutic effect on insomnia, dizziness, neurasthenia and other diseases.
