Tai Ji Chuan is relaxed and gentle, informal but not stiff, even physically and naturally. Soft activities are conducive to body relaxation, natural breathing, suitable for people of different ages, sexes and constitutions to exercise, and sports accidents will not occur. Especially for people who are weak and suffer from chronic diseases, it is a better physical therapy method, so softness is the main feature of Tai Ji Chuan exercise.
Tai Ji Chuan should be slow rather than fast, and practice kung fu slowly, which is one of the important characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan movement. Slow is easy to master the essentials, and slow and non-stop movements are the only way to get more exercise. Tai Ji Chuan's movements (upper limbs) are based on various arcs, so they are flexible, natural and smooth, and avoid going straight.
The movement is round, not stagnant or stiff, and the waist should be the axis. In Tai Ji Chuan's theory, the emphasis on waist movement is called "the main hand is the main waist". Therefore, circular motion is very important in Tai Ji Chuan motion. The whole set of Tai Ji Chuan movements are interlocking, consistent, seemingly flowing and continuous, thus receiving good exercise effect.
Tai Ji Chuan's movements require "immobility", the movements require consistency from top to bottom, and the inside (mind and breathing) is consistent with the outside (limbs and trunk), so every move should be complete, and it is more necessary to have the characteristics of wholeness from beginning to end.
Detailed explanation of the thirteen potentials of Taiji:
1, shed: tension, circular support, no top, sticky and elastic. Follow the trend, round your arms, and turn around and hug. Hugging is a diversion, not a hard fight. Persistence is the foundation of all kinds of strength, which is everywhere and everywhere. We should always keep our strength.
2. Hey: put the front before the back, don't let the other side see through my intentions too early. It needs to be introduced unnoticed to form a sum. It won't be too far, it will be in the hall, it will be in the ulna, it will be in the ulna of the arm. In addition to hand strokes, front legs can stroke each other's front legs, feet can stroke, and the body can also stroke.
3. squeeze: turn sideways, don't squeeze straight, that's the top. Squeezing is the force of squeezing cars, pushing people to both sides. Horizontal is the strong road, with the waist as the axis.
4, press: to be loose, use the strength of the whole body, especially the strength of the waist. On time, hands are basically motionless, like pumping air or pushing a cart. The hand posture is right, and the rest is the body movements. We should realize that we should attack on time and do our best.
5, mining: seeking truth from facts, one hand shed, one hand shed, shed force two points, that is, mining. Choose it firmly. Mining is also formed in sports. It is important to deceive others and grasp the center of gravity of each other. Pick ten fingers and pick a short paragraph.
6. Be cold and crisp, stick to clothes, as if all limbs are going to move to the end, and suddenly exert force. This is called strength. Rotate hard, not move hard.
7, elbow: to rush, you must have the feeling of rushing forward, waist and buttocks first forward, and then elbows forward waist and buttocks backward to form support. In addition, elbow is not only a fight, but also an elbow entanglement. When your hand is entangled, you can throw your opponent out. When the other party enters, you can pester him when it can be used, and when it is used, it will enter his chest.
8. Shit: If you want to collapse, it doesn't matter whether you punch with your hands or your palms. In addition to the back, there are many shoulders, elbows, hips, hips and so on. These are different from hitting people.
9. Advance: Don't lift your legs too high.
10, retreat: straight retreat is easy to collapse, and oblique retreat is horizontal.
1 1, Gu: Look around.
12, hope: look to the right and look at both sides with two eyes, which means to prevent sneak attack and divert attention.
13, butyl: butyl, neutral equilibrium.
Thirteen potentials of Taiji:
Tai Chi Thirteen Style is a traditional boxing method in China with a long history. It belongs to the first generation of family-run boxing in China, which was created by the founder of Sanfeng. Thirteen forms consist of thirteen groups of actions with strong sense of attack and defense, such as starting position, holding position, single push position, probing position, supporting position, flapping position, bearing position, dividing position, cloud position, displacement, double push position, lowering position and receiving position.
Among them, there are three Taoist techniques of self-cultivation, such as breathing guidance and picking mixed piles. But the thirteen movements are also compiled according to the needs of exercising the eight veins of the human body, which are connected with the five internal organs. The whole routine contains five internal organs and eight veins, and there are five steps and eight methods outside, which are combined with Taoist techniques of self-cultivation and Dan, so it is called "Tai Chi Thirteen Movements".
