As we all know, Tai Ji Chuan, as one of the national Wushu in China, has formed a cultural thing with a deep foundation.

Characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan

There are many schools in Tai Ji Chuan, which can be summarized as follows:

1. Stretch generously, combining rigidity with softness.

Tai Ji Chuan fully embodies the word "slowness", which means slowness gives birth to softness, softness has rigidity, and both rigidity and softness are combined. It is precisely because of this characteristic of Tai Ji Chuan that people of different ages, sexes and constitutions can engage in sports, especially for those who are weak and have some chronic diseases, which is a better physical therapy.

2. Coherence and consistency, round and natural

The whole set of Tai Ji Chuan exercises, with uniform speed, strong continuity and seemingly continuous flow, requires the upper limbs to bend everywhere, avoid going straight, and keep the joints naturally bent. Practice has proved that exercising through circular activities is beneficial to the roundness and naturalness of movements, and also embodies the characteristics of softness.

3. Internal and external training, coordination and integrity

Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to the integration of inner (thoughts, breathing) and outer (trunk, limbs movements), and uses consciousness to guide movements, that is, intention to follow, strong hands and coordination of all parts of the body. At the same time, according to the requirements of inhalation and exhalation, the breathing and movements are naturally coordinated, so that the whole body is coordinated and complete, and all parts of the body develop evenly.

The above mainly introduces the types of Tai Ji Chuan for everyone. Of course, no matter which school or school, their styles are generally similar, and they all pay attention to relaxing the mind and nourishing the body. Actually, it doesn't matter which one you study. As long as you can keep practicing, you will definitely play a role in preventing diseases and preserving health.
