Why does hitting Tai Ji Chuan hurt your knee?
Knee pain caused by Tai Chi is mainly caused by excessive exercise, low shelf, or incorrect boxing posture.

Many Tai Ji Chuan fans have a high interest in learning boxing in the primary stage, and always want to practice more and learn boxing. As a result, they spend too much time and exercise too much, which leads to too much exercise, too much conversion of leg and knee joint activity, which leads to too much knee joint overload activity. Can cause knee pain. The initial stage of practicing Tai Ji Chuan is a familiar process, and it is difficult for beginners to master the essentials of Tai Ji Chuan's movements. It is a long-term practice process to really master the essentials of action, and you can't rush for success and be greedy. Therefore, beginners should exercise their waist and limbs before practicing boxing, and properly master the amount of exercise during boxing, from less to more, and the difficulty and range of boxing frame from shallow to deep, from surface to inside, from simple to difficult. Think hard at ordinary times to prevent knee injuries.

Some Tai Ji Chuan fans, seeing teachers or others practicing boxing with big and low shelves, deliberately imitate chasing, which increases the stress on the knee joint and causes knee joint injury. Therefore, the shelf level of practicing boxing should be suitable for people, not deliberately pursued, but step by step, especially at the beginning. As can be seen from boxing photos or videos, Tai Ji Chuan's predecessors didn't practice as low as people do now. If the boxing frame is too low, the knee joint supporting the leg will bear a great load. If it exceeds a certain limit, it will cause fatigue injury of knee joint, which is more harmful to human health.

In addition, Tai Ji Chuan's improper practice methods and incorrect boxing posture can also cause knee joint injuries. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, you should have a correct posture, do every movement carefully, and the movement should not be distorted, so that the knee joint will not be damaged. When lunging, if the stride is too large, the load on the front legs will increase, and the rear toes will turn outwards, which will distort the knee joint and cause knee joint injury. The correct way to lunge is that the front legs and thighs are vertical, the knees are not toes, the toes of the rear legs should not be too outward, and the middle of the legs should be straight. If the lunge is too large and the linearity in the curve is lost, the body's center of gravity will focus on the knee joint instead of falling to the sole of the foot to keep up, which will easily hurt the knee joint. In addition, when doing virtual steps, the front legs and ankles are not relaxed, or the toes are outward; The knee of the supporting leg exceeds the toe, or the toe inclines more than 45 degrees, or the inner buckle clamps the crotch, which will increase the load of the supporting leg and easily cause knee joint damage.

Whether hitting Tai Ji Chuan causes knee joint injury to practitioners is directly related to the teacher's teaching methods. Correct footwork is the key to prevent knee joint injury. Playing Tai Ji Chuan requires relaxation, gentle movements, gentle gardening, clear distinction between reality and reality, light and round movements, and you should not be too tired to practice boxing, but be comfortable. You know, Tai Ji Chuan mainly practices boxing for fitness, and it won't cause knee injury. If the guiding ideology taught by the teacher is incorrect or the method is improper, the boxer's boxing posture is incorrect, or he deliberately pursues the difficulty and graceful movements of striding, squatting and boxing, and even causes knee joint injury.
