Master Yang Chengfu once said, "If you are still moving, the slower you practice your shelf, the better." . The master's words are very good, but it is not easy for boxing practitioners to implement the teachings of this Tai Chi sage.
Tai Ji Chuan is static and dynamic.
Tai Ji Chuan is characterized by combining femininity with softness, combining yin with yang, combining rigidity with softness, and corresponding inside and outside. Its dominant level is not outside, yin is not in yang, and softness is not in rigidity. To implement this rule, we must start with the word "slow". If we can work hard on slow words repeatedly, then slow words will be very tasty and effective.
First, the obstacles to slow practice
However, there are many factors that hinder slow training in practice, and the effect of fitness therapy is also poor. The reason is that the obstacles conducive to slow training have not been ruled out. These obstacles include:
1, is the rhythm of music, collective boxing, limiting routine practice time. There is no doubt that it is necessary to practice boxing in groups, the rhythm of music, and limit the practice time, such as practicing national standards 24, 40 and 48. Teaching in groups, practicing intensively, or mastering routines, or participating in performances and competitions can't be done without unity. But sober-minded people should realize that one of the disadvantages of collective boxing practice is that it is not conducive to "slow practice"
Tai Ji Chuan rhythm
This is an urgent task. Even some solo practitioners are in a hurry, and tasks and routines restrict the implementation of slow training.
It is not easy to master the real slow training. Some people practice slowly for a period of time or several times, and feel that their mind is easy to disperse and their movements are easy to be weak, so they mistakenly think that the effect of slow practice is not as good as that of fast practice.
In order to overcome the above obstacles, it is suggested that even those who participate in collective boxing practice should take some time to practice slowly alone. For long-term single training and double training, we should fully understand the significance of slow training, explore its know-how, and achieve the exquisite beauty of Tai Ji Chuan. Someone asked the author, in your opinion, how long is the 24-style slow training? I think:10,20, or whatever.
Second, the trick of practicing slowly
1, slow anterior loose body, light body.
At the beginning of practicing boxing, consciousness is guided by formula, which gives both body and mind a foundation for slow practice. For example, I said to myself, "I am frank, quiet and relaxed, and I have no palms and soles." Everything was put down and abandoned, and I really entered a clean boxing realm. I feel as if I am swaying and floating in the sun, in a dry room, in flowers and plants, and on the sea. Therefore, overcoming impetuousness and anxiety will naturally "slow down" mentally.
Tai Chi should be calm.
2, slow operation, to guide gas, to do what you want.
After spiritual gathering, we should use some concepts to observe the feelings and experiences. For example, I feel my head hanging straight, my tail standing upright, my palms burning, and my whole body seems to be "dragging". My palm seems to hold, close, contain and roll a small balloon, as if there is a balloon wrapped around my whole body. Push the ball like a ball, hold the ball like an air column, kick the ball like a ball, step on it like a heavy foot, move it manually like the wind, hold the ball freely, and enter the seventh gear. At the elbow, the internal strength is concentrated at the tip of the elbow, and it seems to be scattered on the shoulder when leaning. It's like pushing (or kicking) a stone when moving forward, and it's like rushing to the shore with the tide when retreating. When the sun rises in the hands, it is like holding the air through the top, and the legs squat like a huge stone. When turning left, the spirit flows from right to left, and when turning right, it flows from left to right. Air, such as circulation, rises and falls, spins and turns.
3, slowly experience the umbilical circle, Dantian grinding, following the economic pulse, four tips of luck, relaxing muscles and pulling bones, abdominal distension and so on. This experience seems unreal, unreal. If the heart is too persistent, it will not last long, but it will disperse. If you don't have a mind, you will be easily distracted, you will not be able to make a proper idea, and you will not be able to implement the waist-oriented and abdomen-oriented core. Therefore, it is difficult for others to replace the punching machine, which is unintentional and true.
4, slow beam, such as drizzle, such as moderate rain, such as heavy rain, if naked, wash marrow and tendons, such as skeletons, without attachments, wash away all gas, poison gas and foul smell. Three gases are discharged from the body and fall into the depths of the earth without a trace; The essence and true qi of nature enter the body from Baihui, from the brow and from 84,000 pores of the whole body. Heaven and man are one, and I am one with the universe. The center of the universe is that I am not anywhere else, and the center is that I am not anywhere else, so that I have no desire, no land, and my whole body is integrated and complete.
It is really inexhaustible to say only a little shadow of the method. If the training is repeated and deepened step by step, it will be endless if it is too big, and the effect will not be achieved.
Taiji Chuan, slow and mysterious.
