Taiji is a science, which requires people to look at things objectively, dialectically and in two ways, look at problems, analyze problems and solve them. This is an ideological understanding based on philosophy, that is, everything and everything itself are both opposite and unified. We call this kind of ideological understanding of treating things Tai Chi thought. Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of martial arts, which embodies the combination of Taiji thought and human movement. It is a dialectical movement process of human science. In the process of this movement, the potential is everywhere, all the time, which embodies the transformation of yin and yang, the alternation of excess and deficiency, and the combination of rigidity and softness. The training of Wushu Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to the overall posture and momentum, and requires correct posture, calmness and naturalness, a clear distinction between reality and falsehood, continuity from top to bottom and support from all sides. It is extremely rigorous, meticulous, subtle and wonderful in posture, and all meet the scientific requirements and norms of the human body. As Mr. Qiao Songmao said, "... it scientifically combines boxing, mechanics, guidance and traditional philosophy". All scholars must strictly observe the posture-stand at attention and fully embody this style and characteristics, from learning to changing shelves; From changing racks to walking along racks; From walking to using force; The spiritual realm from practicing martial arts to being fearless and invincible is a gradual, gradual and long-term process, which can only be improved step by step through the correct words and deeds of Master and unremitting efforts. It is not only the simple movement of the body, but also the melting of the inner spirit and the integration of body and mind. Its appearance and posture conform to the scientific principle of mechanics, and its connotation mechanism permeates the movement law of human body function everywhere, and its potential is exactly the same as that of boxing. The feeling of practicing walking is like refreshing coffee, intoxicated with wine. As long as we insist on exercising according to the requirements, we can form Tai Chi posture, and we will certainly achieve the effects of consolidating the foundation, strengthening the body, defending ourselves against the enemy, excelling in excelling nature, getting rid of illness and prolonging life.
Wushu-style Tai Ji Chuan was originally not divided into stages, or, to be precise, its stages were interpenetrating and unclear, and it was a process of gradual improvement. Here, in order to make it easier for scholars to master and give beginners a general framework, I will elaborate the process of practicing kungfu in five stages according to my personal experience, so as to make reference and correction.
The first stage: the stage of mastering kung fu.
This stage belongs to the stage of laying the foundation and learning the shelf, mainly focusing on the name order, shape specification and accurate posture of the shelf, and making every move correct. Holding your chest, as the name implies, is standing upright, not leaning back and forth, leaning left and right, holding your chest and bending over. In the standing of Wushu Tai Ji Chuan, Baihui point on the top of the head and the heel of the supporting leg are strung up and down in a straight line perpendicular to the ground. As far as appearance is concerned, its body has a slightly backward appearance. Wu Xue-style Tai Ji Chuan should firmly grasp its own center of gravity, grasp the requirements of uprightness, lift its spirits, hold its head high and hold its chest high, and enjoy the momentum from all sides. His eyes and mind should be used to gain insight into the changes of the enemy's situation and be selfless. Beginners can't master and correct their long-term habitual actions at once. This is an effort. As long as you practice boxing, you should always remind yourself to keep the most basic point of "attention", pay attention to every movement, be calm, think well, think that the posture is accurate before making the next movement, and try to make a good connection between movements in the boxing frame. Stand upright and impartial, with indomitable spirit, just like a standing tree can withstand thousands of pounds of pressure. If you don't stand up at the beginning of practicing boxing, you will not only fail to achieve good results, but also have a great influence on the improvement of martial arts in the future, or you will never reach the excellent martial arts of Tai Ji Chuan. Why can't you practice boxing unless you stand up? Because otherwise, you can't go up and down, you can't stand upright, you can't have an imposing manner, and you don't conform to the mechanical principle in terms of body shape; From the inside of the body, the stress on the body is uneven, and the operation of qi and blood can not be well coordinated. And because the body is skewed, it will unconsciously make unnecessary physical exertion, so even its own stability is a problem. Defend the enemy? As the saying goes, "it is not high to bow your head and learn skills" is the truth. Starting boxing must be like learning calligraphy and writing regular script. You should make a stroke, horizontal and vertical, angular and well-behaved. Stick your hands and feet on your body, try to keep your posture, and practice on the premise of correct shelves. You can't scribble. Flying a potential has the effect of walking a potential, and walking a frame has the effect of walking a frame. At first, I felt dull and inflexible in the rules, but as long as I keep my posture and practice more, I will gradually form a habit and lay a good foundation for the next step. Therefore, beginners of martial arts Tai Ji Chuan frame must be slow. Only when they are slow can they have time to calm down and experience, and understand and master the posture required by boxing frame with their heart. This kind of training method seems a bit strict, it takes a little effort to learn, and it has a sense of bondage, and the progress is a bit slow, but this strict training method is the basis for handy boxing in the future. If you don't pay attention to the accuracy of posture at the beginning, don't stand upright, and don't strictly stick to posture, you should think fast and work hard at the beginning. The result is putting the cart before the horse, and progress will be slow in the future. Therefore, it is easier to learn boxing than to change it.
Stage 2: Shelf changing stage
This is the stage of curing the shelf and tempering yourself. The so-called frame change is to correct the posture that does not meet the requirements of boxing theory in the process of practicing boxing, so as to make it correct. This stage is the continuation of the first stage after learning the shelf. In the first stage, if you learn boxing slowly and carefully, master it well and have fewer posture problems, then you will save a little effort at this stage; If you learned rough in the previous stage, but you only learned boxing properly, then this stage must be corrected bit by bit. In any case, changing shelves is a long and difficult process, and it is also a stalemate stage of self-discipline. At present, if you are sailing against the current, you can only overcome this hurdle by persistence, and you must gradually overcome your subconscious habitual actions that do not conform to the scientific norms of Wushu Tai Ji Chuan in the long-term practice. In the process of practice, it is still slow but not fast. We should grasp the center of gravity, devote ourselves wholeheartedly, and seriously experience it all the time according to the changing law of sports. We put special emphasis on focusing on the experience of each posture and feeling whether the posture is correct or not. You can also observe your posture in front of the big mirror on the wall to avoid looking down at your movements and affecting the momentum and integrity of the boxing frame. Every time you move, ask yourself first, is your body erect? Did you catch the center of gravity? Is the whole body coordinated? Have you done enough? Is every situation done according to the steps of starting, bearing, opening and closing? Whether the position of hands and feet is just right, if there are differences, correct them as soon as possible and temper them repeatedly. Try to be targeted, pay attention to the situation, take your center of gravity as the root, fold and transform, and be coherent and coordinated. Don't disconnect halfway, let alone walk on the water shelf. So that their posture gradually formed a complete family.
The third stage: on the shelf stage.
This is the "family photo" shelf after the shelf is gradually corrected. At this time, the boxing ring went smoothly, and every movement and posture met the requirements and norms of Tai Ji Chuan's "attention", and Tai Ji Chuan's basic posture was always maintained. Stand up straight, there is nothing wrong with your gestures, and you walk like the Yangtze River. The completion of the previous action is not only the basis of the next action, but also the beginning of the next action. The whole family goes hand in hand, with proper ups and downs, orderly opening and closing, and alternating between reality and reality. In the whole process of walking on the shelf, you can't be lazy because of the flatness of the shelf. You should keep your spirits up, concentrate, and use the smoothness of the shelf to gradually strengthen your boxing practice. At this stage, you should hone, refine, refine, refine your spirit and refine your awareness of the enemy. In order to find the feeling you want, you should slow down at this stage and find the feeling and feel of martial arts in a slow way. Because the smooth boxing frame has been honed for a long time, it is
The fourth stage: the attack stage.
After the boxing is smooth, I will not bother to correct the shelf, that is to say, my posture has fully met the requirements of Wu Shi Tai Ji Chuan, and "standing at attention" is no longer verbal, but has become my good habit. At this stage, I will insist on practicing according to the requirements of Wu Shi Tai Ji Chuan. At this time, the training method should gradually shift its energy to strengthening the enemy's situation. Ask yourself every time you move, and your opponent will give you a heavy blow. What should I do with it? How to meet it and win it? In other words, how to contain the enemy and control the opponent with Tai Chi posture when the opponent strikes? At this stage, when we walk on the shelf, we should not treat anyone as a person and use potential to defeat the enemy. When we fight with others, we should regard someone as nothing, which is like a bamboo. As Mr. Li Yishe, a senior, said, "I arrange myself." I don't move when others come near me. I took advantage of the situation and pressed my strength, and they turned their faces. " This sentence is very vivid, and it is a true feeling and portrayal of your fighting with the enemy when you are good at kung fu. On the one hand, "arranging yourself well" means using it properly; Another meaning is that I have the strength to arrange well, because after long-term practice, I have a straight posture, a stable center of gravity and pure kung fu. Imagine that you can meet the invading enemy with your long-term practice of eight-faced imposing manner and Tai Chi posture of combining rigidity with softness. Is there anything you can't arrange well? "When a person touches me" means that my opponent touches me a little, and my heart is as alert as an electric shock. "I don't move at all" means that I don't move on the outside, making my opponent think that I'm not alert enough, but making adjustments to meet the enemy on the inside. "I don't move" here means that I don't seem to move on the outside, but I am moving with enough strength on the inside, doing the action of eating the center of gravity of the other party. "Follow the trend", because the previous "immobility" paralyzed my opponent, so I was ahead of my opponent in time preparation. I have secretly occupied the center of gravity of my opponent. At this time, my opponent has lost his motivation, and I haven't realized my situation yet. At this point, I can obviously make my opponent feel that his center of gravity is completely controlled by me. Imagine that the opponent's center of gravity has been mastered and controlled. What else is there to solve? So I put pressure on an opponent who can't even control his center of gravity with the momentum of being attacked on all sides. When the opponent feels pressure and threat, it is natural to resist instinctively. But when he wanted to resist but couldn't, his body became stiff, and this stiff force came up, so I followed the trend to distribute it, so he fell out and his opponent was thrown out with my distribution. The whole process of attack and defense is objective and inevitable, not the result of subjective assumption and compulsion. It's how your opponent tells you to fight, not how you want to fight. This is the beauty of Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts.
The fifth stage: the fearless and invincible spiritual stage.
This is the highest stage of superb kung fu, and the arrival of this stage is the embodiment of the first four stages. After reaching this stage, you don't need to work hard to master the boxing frame, walk in the boxing frame and defend against the enemy. In other words, self-defense against the enemy is already a good habit and a subconscious instinctive action. At this time, it doesn't mean that you don't need to practice. At this time, practice has a relaxed and selfless state. The ancient boxing score says: "A day of practicing kung fu, a day of cooking." He also said: "Long merit, fine skills." The current practice is not the original practice of obeying the rules according to the status quo, but a higher-level practice of obeying the rules, breaking the rules, breaking the rules and abiding by the rules. This sentence means that when practicing martial arts or actual combat, you should keep your posture and let go of your spirit. Although it is released, the posture is always Tai Chi posture, which shows that the ancient boxing spectrum is all about "Qi". The "qi" mentioned here is a kind of imposing manner, which is spiritual, not referring to breath or air in general. It's a feeling. It's invisible and intangible. Boxing has no direction, and body and mind follow. At this time, the boxing has not only referred to the concept of boxing in a narrow sense, but also the whole Taijiquan posture in a broad sense. There are punches all over your body, and wherever you get hit, you get hit. They are single-minded, full of momentum, full of energy, and they want to eat when they see the enemy, which truly forms the excellent kung fu of inner spirit and outer spirit.
Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts training mode can not only make people superior in skills and prolong their life, but also cultivate their sentiments, change their temperament, be calm in handling things, feel thoroughly remoulded and improve their quality of life.
In a word, Tai Ji Chuan, a traditional martial art, is mainly based on posture. Only by practicing Tai Chi, can we practice Tai Ji Chuan's excellent kungfu. If you want to practice Tai Ji Chuan's posture well, you must firmly grasp the basic requirement of "attention", which runs through the Tai Ji Chuan movement. Remember, without "uprightness", there would be no eight-sided support, not to mention the transformation of yin and yang, the combination of reality and reality and the combination of rigidity and softness. Therefore, anyone who practices Tai Ji Chuan must keep this in mind and firmly grasp it. As long as we follow this requirement, we can reach the other side of success step by step and appreciate the charm of Tai Ji Chuan art.
Ten essentials of Tai Ji Chuan
chapter one
When things are scattered, we must unite, and when we divide them, we must unite. In all directions between heaven and earth, people in succession have their own places, and there are many things. The bustling crowd has its own sources. The cover of a book can be scattered into thousands of different kinds, and it is nothing more than this common practice to bring thousands of different kinds of salty books to study boxing. The husband of Taiji Chuan is ever-changing, indomitable, although not strong, but unified in strength. Husband called one, from head to toe, with dirty bones and muscles inside, skin and meat outside, and limbs and bones connected together. Break but don't open, bump but don't disperse, follow up and down, lead up and down, respond up and down, up and down, up and down, through inside and outside, and need each other before and after. The so-called agreement is called "Yi"! It is better to attack it than to be forced to do it. At that time, I was moved like a dragon, but I added lightning. At that time, it was quiet, Zhan Ran became silent, and it was as stable as a mountain in its place. Everything is quiet. There is no feeling of uneven internal and external attention, and there is no movement. There is no sign of wandering at all, just like falling into the water, it is irresistible. If the lighter is attacked from inside, it will be delivered as soon as possible. I'm too lazy to think, too lazy to propose, and I don't expect it. Accumulate over a long period of time is conducive to enhancing strength, and long-term practice can achieve great success. Observing the consistent knowledge of sages, we must learn more, learn from things, and make contributions. It's not difficult for the governor to make progress. You can't wait. Step by step, step by step, step by step, the husband is self-connected, and it is not difficult to link up and down.
Chapter II Qi
There is no one between heaven and earth who will never return, and there is no one who will never return; It is not easy to handle the cover and return it. As the saying goes, the world beats people and talks about it. Husband is in no.1 middle school, why should he split in two? The so-called two is breathing, and breathing is yin and yang. You can't beat without exercise, and you can't breathe without breath. Breathing for Yang, inhaling for Yin, rising for Yang, falling for Yin, rising for Yang, falling for Yin, rising for Yang, falling for Yin, falling for Yin, this is the difference between Yin and Yang. What is turbidity? Ascending is clear, descending is turbid, clearing is yang, and turbid is yin. But it is divided into yin and yang, and the muddy person is unified into qi. Qi can not be without yin and yang, that is, people can not be without movement, nose can not be without breathing, mouth can not be without access, so it is reasonable to treat it. However, qi is divided into two, which is consistent with one. People who are interested in it should not use it as an excuse.
Chapter III, Section III
Husband's qi comes from the body, but the parts of the body are very complicated. If you talk about it one by one, it is far from the purpose of boxing. But if it is divided into three sections, it can be said that it can be cut off: the upper, middle and lower sections, or the root, middle and tip sections. In a word; The head is the upper segment, the chest is the middle segment, and the legs are the lower segment. Speaking from head to face, the forehead is the upper segment, the nose is the middle segment, the mouth is the lower segment, the chest is the upper segment, the abdomen is the middle segment, and Dantian is the lower segment. Speaking with legs, arms are hate knots, knees are middle knots, and feet are sharp knots. Speaking with arms, shoulders are hate joints, elbows are middle joints, and hands are pointed joints. Speaking with hands, the wrist is the root node, the palm is the middle node, and the fingers are the sharp nodes. Look at this, but there's no need to say it. However, from top to bottom, there are three paragraphs, and they are necessary. It is not a land of three sections, that is, a land of intention. The cover section is unknown, there is no Sect, the middle section is unknown, it is full, and the lower section is unknown. Subversion is inevitable. From this point of view, how could you be careless in the third paragraph? As for the mobilization of qi, it should start from the tip section, followed by the middle section, and be urged by the root section. In terms of this solid point; If combined, it is from the top of the head to the bottom of the foot, and all limbs are on the same section. What are the three verses? Why are there three sections in each section?
The fourth chapter four tips
Outside the body, at four tips. Those who have four tips are also embarrassed; People who talk about the body are not as good as this at first, and people who talk about anger are unheard of. However, it is beating from the inside out, and Qi is based on everything. When the gas is used up, it is empty and unreal. If you can't do the cutting edge, it will be real but still empty. ; Tips can also be said! When your fingers are full, talk about your ears! Instead of pointing the needle at the wheat awn. What are the four secrets? It is not enough to say that the husband's hair is not among the five elements and has nothing to do with the four bodies. However, hair is the tip of blood, and blood is the ocean of qi. If it's not based on hair, you'll get angry. If you don't care about blood, you have to have hair as well as hair. Is it easy to print r? Tongue is the tip of meat, and meat is the kernel of qi. Qi can't act on all the tips of meat, that is, qi can't fill it, so it is necessary to urge the teeth with the tongue, and the tips of meat are enough. As for bone tips, teeth, tendons and nails, qi is born in bones and connected with tendons, so it is not as good as teeth, that is, nails, that is, tendons. If you want to be satisfied, you must be full of tendons, and nails cannot penetrate the bones. If so, then four tips are enough. Four tips are enough, and anger is enough. Is it possible that it is not suitable for being empty, but the disadvantages of being real or empty?
The fifth chapter five zang-organs
A husband strikes his words with potential, and potential with qi, and a man gets five internal organs, that is, qi. In fact, the five internal organs are the source of life and the source of anger, which is compatible with the heart, liver, spleen and kidney. The heart belongs to fire, but it has the sign of inflammation. The liver is wood, but it has a straight shape. The spleen belongs to the earth, but it has a gentle trend, and the lung belongs to gold, but it has the ability to change. Kidney belongs to water and has the function of moistening the lower body. The meaning of this and the five internal organs is still accurate to qi, and they are all coordinated. Boxers in the world can't live without this world. Is that the inner chest gallery is where the lung meridian is, and the lung is the flower of the five internal organs; Because the lung meridian moves, so does the viscera. The heart is in both breasts and the lungs protect it. Below the lung, above the diaphragm, and the heart meridian. The heart is king, the heart is moving, and the fire is making it; Under the two breasts, the right is the liver, the left is the spleen, and the fourteen joints on the back are the kidneys. As for the waist, it is the standard of two backs, the head of congenital and the root of viscera. Therefore, if the kidneys are sufficient, Jin Mu, water, fire and earth will show their vitality. This is also about the parts of the five internal organs. However, the five internal organs have their own positions, and what is found in the body is exclusive, but there are many positions, which are difficult to describe. Regarding the body system, the middle part belongs to the heart, the fossa belongs to the lung, the exposed part belongs to the kidney, the joints of the tendons belong to the liver, and the fleshy part belongs to the monument. Think about it, the heart is fierce, the liver is like an arrow, the power of the spleen is endless, and the position of the lung meridian is the most spiritual change.
Chapter VI Sanhe
When the five internal organs are clear, it can be said that they are three in one. The so-called triad refers to the combination of mind, strength, bones and muscles, and internal triad. Hands and feet are connected, elbows and knees are connected, shoulders and arms are connected, and the outer three are also connected. If the left hand touches the right foot, the left elbow touches the right knee, the left shoulder touches the right arm and the right shoulder touches the left shoulder. Head and hand, hand and body, body and step, which is not external. Heart and eye, liver and tendons, spleen and flesh, lung and body, kidney and bone cannot be adducted. However, this function is also in terms of change. Anyway. If you don't move, there is no disagreement, and all the five internal organs know it.
Chapter VII Six Items
Got it. Three combinations, six more to go. What is Jin Liu's husband? The head is the head of the six yang, and it is the master of the whole body. The five senses are all embodied in the back, and the head can't help but enter. The hand is the pioneer, the foundation is on the shoulder, the shoulder does not advance, and the hand does not advance; You can't help but enter. Qi is concentrated in the wrist, and the device is at the waist. If the waist does not advance, it will be discouraged and untrue; So the waist is more expensive than beginners. The meaning runs through the whole body, and the movements are in step. If this step is not followed by meaning, then you can do nothing. Therefore, we must take this into account. If you go left, you must go right. If you go right, you must go left. * * * is a six-entry, and these six-entry people are not a good place to bully! The important thing is: if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't advance, you will be indifferent. A word forward, there is no stretch, and the way of six advances is nothing more than that.
Chapter VIII Personal Identity
When a husband strikes the enemy, it all depends on posture. What posture is it? Vertical, horizontal, high, low, forward, backward, reverse and lateral. Vertical, let nature take its course and never look back. Horizontal, then control its force, no resistance development. If you are tall, your body will be tall, and your body will have the meaning of growth. If you are low, you will restrain your body, while your body has the shape of saving and promoting. You advance, you advance, you use your strength to advance. If it's time to retreat, it's time to turn around and help build momentum. As for reflexivity, the latter is the former. Look around, and evil dares to do it for me. But to do it freely. The strength of Mrs. Cha depends on her own organs, which vary from place to place, vertical and horizontal, and cannot be generalized. There are ups and downs, and the highs and lows always shift. How can we combine them? If there is a time, you will not retreat, but you will be kind. When there is a time to retreat, that is, retreat and advance, in order to drum up its progress. Advance is solid, and retreat to help advance is also practical. If you turn around. Then I think it's not the last thing. Looking around, I don't think it's left and right. Bottom line: Now the eyes are changing in the heart, and everyone who holds the essentials is in the body. If it is in front of you, your four bodies will not live. If you are afraid of your body, you will find yourself in an unknown place. Posture can be ignored.
Chapter 9 footwork
Today's husband's limbs are mainly sports, in fact, they are based on walking; Walking is the foundation of the body and the hub of exercise. So fight, fight, this body. Therefore, as a pillar of the body, it is not a step. Improvisation is in your hands. And the person who thinks that the hand moves lies in the step. Advance and retreat to the opposite side, why not create an opportunity to encourage, restrain and expand, and why not show the beauty of change. That is to say, observing in the eyes, changing in the heart, changing from another angle, ever-changing, not forced by poverty, why not, but not forced by poverty. Action is unintentional, inspiration comes from ignorance, the body is moving and thinking. The hand will move, one step earlier, but it is already unexpected. If it is driven by Mo, then the so-called upward movement will follow, and its name is Yu! And before and after the step, there are locators, and the step is also. People who have no position are also a step. If the first step is followed by the second step, there are different positions before and after. If the previous step is the latter step, the latter step is the previous step, the former step is the latter step, and the latter step is the previous step and the latter step, there are also positions before and after. Bottom line: defeat important people with potential theory. To be alive or not to be alive lies in keeping pace, as does spirit and ineffectiveness. It is a big step to use!
Chapter 10 Combining rigidity with softness
The purpose of master's boxing is only qi and potential. But the gas is strong and weak, and the potential is rigid and soft. Strong gas takes the strength of the situation, while weak gas takes the softness of the situation. The strong fight with a thousand forces, and the weak break a thousand with a thousand forces. Rigid and soft are also divided. But there are rigid and soft points, but there are also points of hair quality and use. The limbs are started, and they are proficient in qi outside, static and heavy inside, and strong in strength. Qi is trapped inside and gentle outside. You can't use rigidity without elasticity, and you can't be happy without elasticity. If you are soft, you can't be rigid. If you have no rigidity, you can't exert yourself. If you combine rigidity with softness, you will stick, swim, pick up, follow, soar, flash, fold, empty, squeeze and hold. Nothing is natural. Don't be both hard and soft, and don't use force casually.
