Tai Ji Chuan: The Perfect Exercise for Women's Beauty and Fitness. Few women practice Tai Ji Chuan online. I have been wondering why this sport, which is very suitable for women, has not attracted women's love. They would rather spend a lot of money to find a poor instructor to learn yoga and Aikido and sweat in a crowded gym than willingly accept the Taiji Juexue left by our Chinese ancestors. If health and martial arts are combined, elegance and kindness coexist, Tai Ji Chuan really leads the way! I feel sorry for Tai Ji Chuan and for those young women. It's really "only admiring his jade and beauty, but not knowing his own treasure"!

Why should Tai Chi Chuan be a woman's friend? Generally speaking, due to physiological reasons, women's qi and blood are prone to loss and imbalance, which in turn leads to anemia, kidney deficiency and endocrine disorders, which directly leads to premature aging. There is not a woman who doesn't love beauty and doesn't want to stay young and healthy forever. Tai Ji Chuan is the best solution to meet these wishes. The theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine prove that high-intensity exercise is not conducive to scientific fitness. The characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan's exercise are: lightness in movement, even breathing, quietness in movement, although still moving, nourishing the brain in movement, activating qi and blood, giving consideration to both inside and outside, and practicing body and mind. In the process of boxing, the internal qi flows naturally and moves harmoniously, which can reconcile the yin and yang of the human body, dredge the meridians, and make the kidneys full of vitality and clear-headed. In a word, Tai Ji Chuan strengthens the vitality of human body by nourishing essence, qi and spirit, making it more and more vigorous. Tai Ji Chuan moves from looseness to softness, practicing strength and nourishing qi, which can be slow or fast, with rigidity in softness and softness in rigidity. Internal is to guide qi with intention, to transport the body with qi, and to control the emotional movement of the whole body with internal strength; Take the waist as the axis, lead the hand with the body, and the inner strength runs through one after another, achieving the spiral winding movement of fingertip fur; It has formed the movement characteristics of internal and external communication, combining rigidity with flexibility and alternating speed. Sweating but not panting during boxing practice greatly reduces the load on the heart; Especially for the civilized diseases in modern cities, such as obesity, hypertension, heart disease, fatty liver, diabetes, dyspepsia, constipation, neurasthenia, insomnia, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and other office syndromes, Tai Ji Chuan's therapeutic and rehabilitation effects are recognized by both Chinese and Western medicine.

And physiologically speaking, women have certain advantages in learning Tai Chi. For example, the body is soft and elastic, so it has good plasticity, and it is easy to give up others, lose bad habits and correct wrong actions. When a woman snuggles in the arms of her mother or lover, she is always so relaxed, comfortable and carefree. This kind of feeling is more appropriate when applied to boxing, and the movements are easy to get in place smoothly, such as relaxing to the end when going down. Women are born closer to nature, and they easily lose themselves (which has nothing to do with women's rights here), enter the unconscious state required by Taiji Chuan, and completely integrate themselves into it. In addition, women's introverted, meticulous and sensitive psychological characteristics make them have a strong aura and understanding. At that time, the excellent Tai Chi biography in Zhaobao began with The Biography of Women and lasted for more than 400 years. Up to now, it still shows female characteristics, which is the best interpretation of the combination of boxing and Taoism.

I think, unlike men's aggressive and aggressive personality, women are generally less aggressive. Learning and practicing Tai Ji Chuan are all aimed at self-cultivation and self-cultivation. They are unknown and enjoy themselves, so there are few all-around Jianghu women. But that doesn't mean they can't learn Tai Ji Chuan Kung Fu well. The unique attack and defense function of "four two strokes" is used in women's self-defense, which is not inferior to taekwondo and the like, and it is not a problem. So for them, Tai Ji Chuan is also very practical.

Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of martial arts with rich connotations. Perhaps it is a pity that young girls are vain, fashionable and despise exclusive art. However, I still believe that a woman with life experience and sentiment, a mature and knowledgeable woman, should be able to feel its magical power as long as she touches it!

In winter, the weather is cold and the yin is strong and the yang is weak, so all activities in winter should conform to nature. People who are used to morning exercises still get up early to exercise even in cold winter, but it should be noted that winter is different from other seasons.

The first is exercise time. The air cleanliness in the early morning in winter is relatively poor, so the best time for exercise is when the sun shines on the green leaves of plants for illumination and action. Before practicing boxing, it is best to empty your urine, drink some drinks such as soybean milk and milk, and eat some biscuits or other snacks, but don't be too full. [About 10 in the morning is more suitable for the elderly]

The second is the exercise place. It is not suitable to exercise in the courtyard full of soot and dirty air. You should choose a sunny and sheltered place to exercise (it is not advisable to exercise outdoors when there is fog). If you choose indoor exercise, you should pay attention to ventilation and keep the indoor air fresh. In order to maintain a good mental state, don't talk to people when practicing boxing, so as not to lose the effect of exercise.

The third is the intensity of exercise. We should flexibly adjust the amount of exercise according to our own situation, choose a certain driving posture and do what we can. The purpose of training is to consolidate and improve skills, and the training content is mainly comprehensive training of skills. Get used to it when exercising, don't rush for success, and don't deliberately breathe hard to achieve the so-called "abdomen" to avoid dizziness and shortness of breath, which will affect natural breathing. In addition, it should be noted that warm-up activities must be done before exercise, such as stretching, bending, squatting and so on. Otherwise, it is easy to cause sprains, bumps and fractures.

Fourth, don't exercise with illness. Patients with hemoptysis and bleeding should not practice boxing. If angina occurs during winter exercises, they should stop exercising immediately. Take it easy. They can sit down or have a rest in a semi-recumbent position. If the pain is not relieved, they can take nitroglycerin 1 tablet sublingually to relieve the pain and go to the hospital for examination in time. Just after exercise, it is best not to drink a lot of water immediately. After a short rest, drink a small amount of water many times. Drinking light salt water helps to keep the balance of water and salt in the body, and drinking some sugar water and fruit juice helps to replenish the consumed energy as soon as possible and promote the recovery of the body.

Fifth, don't take a hot bath immediately after exercise. Because exercise makes the blood vessels of muscles expand, the blood flow increases, and the blood vessels of internal organs contract accordingly to maintain the blood flow of muscles. At this time, taking a hot bath will make the blood flow of skin and muscles increase continuously, while the blood flow of internal organs, especially the brain, decreases, which is prone to cerebral ischemia and fainting.

Tai Ji Chuan, as a fitness technique suitable for all ages, has moved from China to the world. However, Tai Ji Chuan fans, especially beginners, are in a state of confusion about the definition and connotation of Tai Ji Chuan. This article is based on "What is Tai Ji Chuan?" "Why practice Tai Ji Chuan?" "How to practice Tai Ji Chuan well?" Discuss the true meaning of Tai Ji Chuan with Tai Ji Chuan fans from three angles, and seek a shortcut to practice Tai Ji Chuan.

What is Tai Ji Chuan?

"Boxing" is a general term in China traditional Wushu, which represents a form of human movement. "Boxing" has two functions: one is fitness, and the other is attack. The ancients put martial arts first. There are many kinds of traditional boxing in China, including hundreds or even thousands. Its name is named after animal images, such as black tiger boxing, Snake Boxing and Duck Boxing. Some are named after historical figures, such as Taizu Boxing and Yanqing Boxing. Some of them are named according to the characteristics of drills, such as poking boxing, kicking boxing and drunken boxing. Only Taiji Zhuan is named after the word "Taiji", the essence of China traditional Taoism. So what is "Tai Chi"? Taiji is the mother of yin and yang. China's traditional Taoist philosophy holds that anything in the world is composed of yin and yang. And yin and yang must be coordinated. Everything in the world is striving for progress and development in the process of constantly seeking coordination and balance. "Boxing" named after "Taiji" runs through this principle of seeking coordination and balance, practicing boxing and studying boxing theory. By seeking the coordination and balance of the human body itself, we can achieve fitness and longevity; By disrupting each other's coordination and balance, we can win by defeating others; By seeking the boundary between man and nature, the balance of society can achieve "harmony between man and nature" and nature can be used and transformed. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan can be defined as "a form of movement that seeks the coordination among human body, man and nature, individual and society through gentle and slow body movements according to the theory of Yin and Yang in China's traditional Taoism".

Why practice Tai Ji Chuan?

In today's colorful society, there are many ways to keep fit, including hundreds of boxing. Why do you advocate practicing Tai Ji Chuan? As mentioned earlier, "Tai Ji Chuan is a form of movement that seeks the coordination among human body, man and nature, individual and society through gentle and slow body movements according to China's traditional Taoist theory of Yin and Yang". This definition distinguishes Tai Ji Chuan from other forms of fitness and boxing. Especially as a kind of boxing, Tai Ji Chuan is essentially different from other boxing. Because most other boxing methods are to train the effectiveness of martial arts. However, how big is the difference between people? Everyone has the same hands and feet. If a person wants to defeat another person with absolute confidence, he must undergo extraordinary training and bear the pain that ordinary people are unwilling to bear, which will cause certain harm to the body, and some even leave incurable hidden dangers. Caused the human body's own disharmony. If you want to get extraordinary functions, you must practice three or nine times in winter and three times in summer, and exercise in a harsh natural environment. In this way, it violates the routine of human adaptation to nature and forms the disharmony between man and nature. When these extraordinary trainings reach a certain level, they will become the capital of practitioners, flaunt their struggles everywhere, and cause disharmony between individuals and society. But practicing Tai Ji Chuan is not, because practicing Tai Ji Chuan is in constant pursuit of harmony between human body, man and nature, individual and society. In this pursuit, we should constantly broaden our thinking, balance our mentality, develop our wisdom, improve our self-cultivation and strengthen our physique. This is unmatched by any other boxing and fitness techniques. Therefore, practicing Tai Ji Chuan is one of the best fitness exercises that modern people should master.

How to practice Tai Ji Chuan well?

If you want to practice Tai Ji Chuan well, you must first have confidence and perseverance, and you can't give up halfway. Because Tai Ji Chuan is really more difficult and complicated than other boxing and fitness techniques. Secondly, we should have a good teacher. This teacher is not necessarily a famous teacher, but he must be a master. He must be able to express the boxing theory clearly and swing the boxing frame clearly. The third is to delve into theory. Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of cultural boxing. He doesn't understand the theory of boxing, and it's hard to reach the peak just by seeking form.
