How can we practice Tai Ji Chuan's internal skills?
How can we practice Tai Ji Chuan's internal skills? How does Wei Zhaosheng practice Tai Ji Chuan's internal skills? As the saying goes, "if you want to practice boxing well, you should shrink your circle first." After mastering the basic essentials of Tai Ji Chuan, in practice, the shape is similar to "shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, hand and foot". When rotating, make the right shoulder and left hip, right elbow and left knee, right hand and left foot stick together, hand and body, hand and head stick together. When practicing boxing, don't pay attention to whether the appearance is standardized, but to the internal changes. Tai Ji Chuan's kungfu can be divided into five layers: "One yin and nine yang is the head stick, one yin and eight yang is Sanshou, three yin and seven yang are still hard, and four yin and six yang are absolutely perfect. Only when five yin and five yang are combined, and yin and yang are not biased, is it a skillful hand? The skillful hand is a Tai Chi, and the empty trace is gone. " . Thus, the level of Tai Ji Chuan's kungfu depends largely on the degree of physical relaxation. In the four-volume book, he said, "From beginning to end, all characters are tangible fists, but they are all made of tangible. As for the intangible and ingenious, they are all unintentional in the end, and then you can speak. It can be seen that boxing is in my heart, and my heart is secretly circulating, full of fists everywhere. It is a lifelong art. " Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan's ancestors thought that mental exercise was as important as physical exercise. After a period of practice, they basically mastered the basic essentials of Tai Ji Chuan's appearance, the direction and strength of his movements, his appearance looked like Tai Ji Chuan, and his abdomen knew how to rotate. It's that the body doesn't relax enough, and the appearance doesn't match the breath of the abdomen. Therefore, in the process of practicing boxing in the future, we should pay attention to relaxing the body, that is, don't take the body as the focus of practice, only pay attention to psychological exercise and abdominal rotation, and rotate around the abdomen. At the beginning, abdominal rotation is not obvious, and sometimes it doesn't. As long as we always pay attention, the direction of abdominal rotation is the same as that when we first learned Tai Ji Chuan. At first, internal strength rotation can't be combined with shape. As long as we practice for a long time, internal strength and shape can be combined to make moves. It is worth noting that when practicing boxing at this stage, the abdomen must move before the body can move. The abdomen does not look back, and the shape does not look back. At this time, the direction of abdominal rotation is also the direction of external movement, and the direction of external movement is also the direction of abdominal rotation. In mental exercise, you should exercise silently with your mind, not hard, and there are people around you when you practice boxing. When you use it, ignore it. How can we do it effortlessly? When practicing boxing, every movement should be like moving in the water, but don't resist this resistance. Turn slowly with your mind, so that your body is in the water, your head is above the water, and the water ditch is parallel to the water. After a long period of practice, you can realize the realm of practicing Tai Ji Chuan's three-step singing. First of all, if you stand in the water to the depth of your neck, your body will sink in the air. There is resistance in the movement of limbs, and the posture should be changed slowly and evenly. Second, if you are suspended in water, the Yangtze River is floating. Waist like a wheel, spirit surging. Swimming. ) waterline. Third, the body is treading on thin ice, like an abyss. The spirit is restrained and the fun is endless. After a period of time, you will feel numb, swollen, hot palms and bowel sounds in your abdomen. How can we relax better? When practicing boxing, look straight in front of your hands, listen to your ears, and beware of someone invading your back. This will help you concentrate, relax your body, and behave gracefully without any rigidity and domineering. When practicing boxing, you can't see the movements of your hands, your body is one, you don't have any worries, you don't have the form of wandering doubt and pulling. You are covered with fists, not as good as the world boxing. Only in this way can we achieve the unity of heaven and earth, practice Tai Chi and mix elements, and be the right way for the human body.
