Because Tai Ji Chuan can make breathing natural, slender and slow. Because of its slow speed and gentle movements, it can expand the microcirculation of the human body. Microcirculation is characterized by strenuous exercise, which makes the blood take a shortcut and can't get sufficient exchange of matter and energy, while Tai Ji Chuan's gentle characteristics make the blood flow everywhere, so as to get the exchange of matter and energy and improve the internal circulation of the body. As the saying goes, "it's painful not to live, and the general principle is painless", so that some impassable places can be unblocked and the symptoms of chronic diseases can be alleviated or eliminated. At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan can keep fit and prevent some diseases. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan exercise has the function of treating diseases. Tai Ji Chuan is a unique sport developed on the basis of traditional health-keeping methods of "induction" and "breathing". It advocates "guiding qi with intention and transporting the body with qi", and there are also exercise methods of practicing qigong and adjusting the heart. Thus, Tai Ji Chuan's internal boxing action was formed, with the close combination of consciousness, breathing and movement, and the unity of "practicing heart, qi and body" inside and outside, "starting with intention, then moving inside and then moving outside"; And form a unique boxing method that combines rigidity with softness, moderate speed, changing storage and development, and controlling internal strength. As a sport, Tai Ji Chuan has the function of health care. The secret lies in its "immobile" physical activity, which can stimulate all kinds of tissues and organs with a certain intensity and quantity, stimulate and promote a series of adaptive changes in physiology, biochemistry and morphological structure, and make the physique transform and develop in the direction of strengthening. For middle-aged and elderly people and patients with chronic diseases, it can delay the deterioration of the structure and function of various tissues and organs of the body, and can effectively play the role of fitness, treatment and delaying aging. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that man is an organic whole, which is connected from top to bottom by meridians, with internal and external communication, internal organs and external limbs. Tai Ji Chuan's unique practice method is beneficial to dredge meridians. First of all, we know that the sudden, intense and lasting stimulation of the seven emotions will lead to the disorder of human qi, the imbalance of qi and blood of viscera, yin and yang, and Tai Ji Chuan's emphasis on the relaxation of the whole body can weaken, transfer and overcome the stimulation of the seven emotions of internal injuries, thus facilitating the dredging of meridians. Secondly, Tai Ji Chuan's moderate and appropriate exercise will make the whole body warm and harmonious, increase the speed and intensity of meridian conduction, help pulse qi to run in the meridian system of the whole body, help the meridians to be unobstructed, make qi and blood fill the whole body, nourish viscera, nourish yin and yang, maintain and protect the body function, and increase the ability of disease resistance, evil resistance and self-repair. Thirdly, in the Tai Ji Chuan movement, the winding movement composed of waist rotation and limb flexion and extension has different pulling, squeezing and kneading effects on more than 300 acupoints all over the body. This is actually a kind of self-massage, which can play a similar role to acupuncture, activate meridians, stimulate the qi of meridians, dredge meridians, regulate excess and deficiency, strengthen the maintenance and contact of physiological functions of various tissues and organs, and make them in a coordinated and orderly state. Tai Ji Chuan attaches great importance to the health preservation of the unity of nature and man, and the unity of form and spirit. Tai Ji Chuan combines motion and static in exercise, which makes Tai Ji Chuan more in line with the fitness principle of moderate exercise. At the same time, Tai Chi Chuan's unique meaning of calming the nerves makes the mind more endowed with the main health-preserving principles of Tai Chi Chuan:
1, strong source: abdominal breathing (mainly reverse abdominal breathing with movements after proficiency), deep breathing is conducive to adequate oxygen supply;
2. Smooth qi and blood: a slow and overall exercise mode, with strong physical strength, can increase the amount of exercise, and with weak physical strength, can improve the whole body, with smooth qi and blood, and has good health adaptability to a wide audience;
3. Strong integrity: in line with the theory of Yin and Yang in traditional cultural philosophy, pay attention to the symmetry of movements, prepare five bows, run through the movements one by one, think left first and then right, think up first and then down, and go on and on. Tai Ji Chuan exercise is not a specific therapy that is effective for certain diseases or certain parts. It is an exercise method with the fundamental goal of improving the overall functional state of human body and improving the quality of human body.
4. Pay attention to consciousness: pay attention to the guidance of thoughts, effortlessly, constantly exercise the fine command of the nervous system to every tiny part of the whole body, and improve the sensitivity of the nervous system. Of course, if there is a coach to guide the actual reaction and variation of boxing, this kind of training can also include the cultivation of attacking enemy consciousness and attacking enemy consciousness;
5. Fitness: The human body is a complex ecosystem. In addition to the above-mentioned audiences who can adapt to different situations, Tai Ji Chuan's training content also includes rich contents such as posture, standing piles and pushing hands. Standing piles and fixed movements can be better coordinated by coaches, and the whole body can get the fitness purpose of exercise.
6. Happy mood: Tai Ji Chuan's profound traditional cultural philosophy theory supports his pursuit of relaxation, tranquility, ethereal spirit and spirituality, which is conducive to cultivating a detached and refined state of mind through the whole-hearted input of sports.
Many years ago, I was lucky enough to learn something from the late Mr. Tong and Mr. Tong. Although I don't work hard enough because of my own reasons, my understanding is poor and my level is not high, but I have some personal experience in fitness for reference only.
