The action essentials of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan Tiger Back Boxing
Learning boxing is a step-by-step process, and you can't rush for success. The same is true of learning Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan. You can feel the softness of Tai Ji Chuan in slow training.
Yang's taiji tiger's back work
First, effectiveness.
1, can help unblock Du meridian, morning? River car is unlucky? So is the law? Go through three levels? Shortcut, to practice? Strong? Tai Ji Chuan's feminine kung fu, unless it's not for work.
2. It can activate the five internal organs, remove the acidosis and waste in the body, activate and regenerate cells, and enhance immunity and self-healing ability.
Yang Tai Ji Chuan can promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism and massage all joints, which is a good exercise for modern people to keep fit.
3. Moderate impact on the back? Du meridian? With what? Foot sun bladder meridian? Acupoints can strengthen the function of viscera and spleen, thus increasing muscles and fundamentally treating rheumatism and eczema; It is also helpful for the function of urinary and reproductive systems.
4, make the back muscles soft, help venous return, accelerate blood circulation and metabolism, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Second, the action essentials
1, measure the distance
Stand naturally, with your feet shoulder-width apart, about a foot away from the wall and your back against the wall. When the upper body leans forward, if you can leave the wall naturally without deliberate efforts, it means that the distance from the wall is moderate. If you need some force to leave the wall, it means that the distance is a little far and you must get closer.
No matter which boxing school you learn, it is characterized by the change of yin and yang and the transformation of reality and excess. In practice, we should correctly grasp the symmetry of Tai Ji Chuan.
Step 2 fail
As long as you descend slightly, you don't have to bend your knees too low, relax your whole body and keep your upper body upright.
3. Suddenly I can't run.
(1) The body above the hips leans back on a flat surface, so you should lie back naturally. Don't lean back deliberately, swing your hands naturally. Those who pursue kung fu can hold the ball with both arms (holding the ball when hitting the wall and hanging their arms when leaving the wall).
(2) At the initial stage, the impact surface is below the scapula, and one, two or two impacts are not allowed, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.
(3) At the moment of impact, exhale naturally and don't hold your breath. As for whether to build bridges or not, bite the tongue, let nature take its course.
Step 4 stay away from the wall
By leaning forward, you can leave the wall naturally, and you can't feel deliberately leaving the wall; When the back is away from the wall or upright, the whole sole of the foot should still be close to the ground, and the knee curvature is fixed (slightly curved) without ups and downs.
Third, matters needing attention
1, with drooping hips, slightly bent knees and loose back.
2, against the wall or away from the wall, the body should be relaxed and natural, and there can be no deliberate movements.
3. when leaning against the wall, pay attention to the crotch and lie behind the upper body. When you leave the wall, you should rely on the strength of your upper body leaning forward to keep your hips away from the wall. Don't use force. Keep your feet close to the ground and don't lean.
4. When the hips are away from the wall and the upper body is vertical, the knees that fall off the hips should still maintain their original posture, and there should be no ups and downs.
5, hands should droop, swing naturally, don't be stiff.
6. Breathe naturally, especially when you hit a wall.
7, metope must level off, collision, should actually check, can not have a knot in one's heart, hit a tree? It is forbidden to use it, otherwise it will easily lead to dislocation of vertebrae, even hemiplegia or total paralysis.
The characteristics of Yang Tai Ji Chuan
Boxing style
Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan Boxing Frame stretches gracefully, stands tall and straight, moves smoothly, and combines rigidity and softness, just like boating in the lake, light and calm. The training method is concise and deeply loved by the general public, so it is the most widely spread.
Yang Tai Ji Chuan's action requirements are like the Yangtze River, which is endless. The completion of this action is the beginning of the next action, and the next action continues. Psychologically, it is also required to do it at one go.
Upright and comfortable.
As early as the 1930s, Mr. Yang Chengfu proposed? Tai Chi legend is ten? .
Mainly for personal identity requirements. ? Honest and comfortable? Especially the biography of Taj Yang.
It includes two aspects: First, when practicing, the posture should be correct, and most of the movements should make the upper, middle and lower acupoints (namely Baihui, Yin Hui and Yongquan) basically remain upright and unbiased, forming a gravity vertical line, so that the body cannot lean forward and backward. Second, the tailgate should be upright, the spine should be relaxed and vertical from Dazhui point to tailgate (Changqiang point) to form an up-and-down stretching length, and the tailgate should guide the course like a rudder. In the case of physical and mental relaxation, if you do the above two aspects, you can show the characteristics of integrity and comfort.
This feature of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is well known to many famous artists. Mr. Wang Yongquan, a tall foot of Yang Chengfu, vividly compares the human body to an ancient clock: the neck of the clock, the top of the clock is a shoulder ring, the mouth of the clock is a waist ring, the mouth of the bell is a crotch ring, the central vertical line is a bell rope, and the bell hammer is tied at the lower end of the central vertical line, which is the so-called bronze bell five points, which emphasizes the upright position very much.
Mr. Li Di, a famous Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan artist, hangs couplets in the living room. What is the first couplet? Keep your posture straight and your spine straight? It also emphasizes the righteousness and comfort of the body.
The boxing frame is generous.
Yang Tai Ji Chuan's unique style in boxing frame is generous. Only generosity can help the limbs stretch up and down. Generous boxing requires relaxation inside and outside the body, and gestures must be in place. What is the typical boxing potential of upper and lower double elongation? White crane with bright wings? It is an important standard to measure whether boxing moves are in place and whether they are carried out generously.
A slow and loose movement.
Yangtaichi
This is one of the most prominent features of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan and the main reason why Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is famous at home and abroad. Yang Luchan, a native of Chenjiagou, Henan Province, studied boxing with Chen Changxing for many years and became a school of his own. Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan boxing frame has no obvious vigorous movements such as jumping, jumping and shaking feet of Chen-style Tai Ji Chuan, and has formed its own unique big, loose and soft style. This is a unique training method from loose to soft and from soft to rigid. This is also a way for all ages in Xian Yi to keep healthy. It is said that when Yang Chengfu taught his disciples boxing, the most important word was Songzi. He often said: loose! It's loose It's loose If I don't tell you, I'll never learn it. ? He can watch his apprentice practice boxing for a long time without saying a word, but sometimes he has to say a loose word dozens of times. This kind of fist method, which is loose and soft, hides needles in the cotton, also conforms to the philosophical thought of Laozi, the originator of Taoism in China, and the weak wins the strong and governs by doing nothing.
Uniform movement speed
Some schools in Tai Ji Chuan emphasize the strength of speed and slowness, while Yang Tai Ji Chuan emphasizes slowness and softness, especially the uniformity of speed. It is forbidden to be fast and slow, and the shelf is high and low. Uniform speed includes not only the whole routine from the beginning to the end, but also the speed of running and hand-foot coordination in a single action, and
Yangtaichi
The excessive connection between the last action and the next action is naturally coordinated. It takes about 22 minutes to play a traditional routine of the Eighth Five-Year Plan and 40 minutes to an hour to play a good game, and the speed of attack determines the speed of the whole routine. All routines have the same speed.
? Walk like a cat and exercise like reeling? It is required to slowly change the center of gravity, light up and down, lower the starting point and keep the same speed, but it is not recommended? Fast and slow? Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan is unique in that his movements are even. Although individual movements can be done faster, they are still like running water on the whole. Even if it is? Turn around and put on a lotus flower? And then what? Turn and kick to the left? And so on, but still emphasize uniform speed.
These measures are obvious in reality.
In the article "Ten Essentials of Tai Ji Chuan", Yang Chengfu put forward Tai Ji Chuan's technique at the beginning, and put the distinction between reality and falsehood in the first place, which shows the importance of distinguishing between reality and falsehood in practicing Yang Tai Tai Ji Chuan. Yang's 85-style Tai Ji Chuan requires that every movement should distinguish between reality and reality from beginning to end, and most movements are carried out on one leg. When the whole body weight is sitting on the right leg, the right leg is solid and the left leg is empty. When the whole body weight is sitting on the left leg, the left leg is solid and the right leg is empty. The average weight-bearing action of two legs is extremely rare, except for a short position in the excessive action of starting, cloud hand, right fist and turning and right kick.
Yangtaichi
Moreover, the mutual transformation between the virtual and the real in Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan is a gradual transformation from half-empty to half-empty, such as stepping on the ground from virtual to real: when moving forward, the heel touches the ground first, the sole of the foot and the toe touch the ground in turn, and finally all touch the ground, just like the situation in which Yin and Yang fish rise and fall with each other in Tai Chi. This kind of boxing frame with clear distinction between reality and reality is very prominent in Yang Tai Jichuan's whole routine.
The whole body is round and coherent.
? Round? In other words, all Tai Ji Chuan's movements are an arc semicircle. ? Live broadcast? Explain that the action is not dull. Follow up and down, change your steps with you, manually, move your waist, move your feet, move your eyes with you, be motionless and silent. The circle of Tai Chi is like a three-dimensional sphere. Touching any point will cause the whole sphere to rotate and shift, no matter where it is, it will be spinning in the same place. Coherence means that the movements are closely connected and there is no obvious phenomenon of broken files, such as flowing clouds and the choppy Yangtze River.
As long as you watch carefully, you will find that Yang Tai's movements are very coherent. At the same time, the end of the last action is the beginning of the next action, and it is difficult to find the starting and ending boundaries between actions. Like what? Left knee spasm? Answer? Waving pipa? A potential, when you hold your left knee, push your right palm, and use the little finger of your right palm to drive your side palm forward, with the inertia of your body moving forward, your right leg naturally rises, you follow half a step, and you enter? Waving pipa? The beginning of. Take the turning point of this action as an example. Left knee spasm? what's up Close? Waving the pipa at the same time? A potential? Up? The movements are very coherent and natural.
Waist and move your limbs.
Zhang Sanfeng's "The Legend of Taiji" and "Thirteen Poems" say:? The source of fate lies in the waist gap? . Tai Chi Chuan emphasizes? The waist is the master? ,? The waist is the axis? ,? Taiji waist bagua palm? And so on, all show that Tai Ji Chuan emphasized the waist. This is especially true for Yang Tai Yoshikawa, who is very strict about his waistline. Is Yang Tai Yoshikawa's physical examination method correct? Tai Chi? , mainly depends on whether there is anything on the waist.
Yang's ancestors once summed up:? Waist? Move all over your body. Waist? A quiet body is quiet? Don't move your waist, don't send your hands. If you want to move, you have to move your waist first? And other valuable experience. The biography of Yang Family in Tai Ji Chuan emphasized that Tai Ji Chuan must focus on waist training, and all movements should be driven, pulled and rotated by the waist.
Yangtaichi
Waist, hands, feet, his explanation of each movement, are very detailed and in place to introduce the requirements of waist movements. When he first taught Yang the Tai Ji Chuan routine, he emphasized? Body and limbs? Instead of? Four limbs make up the body? , the so-called? Body and limbs? what's up Body? Point to the waist? Manufacturing? Refers to the meaning of driving, that is, when practicing boxing, you can guide and drive the limbs to move by relaxing your shoulders and waist. It requires that when boxing and walking, the qi of the upper limbs should sink on the waist, and the qi of the lower limbs should also be raised on the waist, so as to truly turn the waist into a whole body exercise? Fire point? For the limbs, don't move involuntarily, but under the control of the waist, the rotation of the body will affect the rotation of the arm. When the body sinks, let the gravity of the earth guide the arm to sink, and when the body retreats, let the body drive the arm to move. ? Body and limbs? These four words are concise and profound. It embodies the obvious characteristics of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan posture.
Transposition will sink in each round.
An experienced boxer briefly summarized the main features of Yang Tai Ji Chuan as follows? Good at softening and highlighting strength? . Mr. Gu Shuping, a famous Shanghai Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, has practiced Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan for 60 years, and his skills are quite skillful. He thinks that a remarkable feature of Yang Tai Ji Chuan is? Will it sink every turn? . The generalization of these four words can well reflect another unique style that distinguishes Yang Tai and Tai Ji Chuan from other Tai Ji Chuan.
? Will it sink every turn? Outstanding strength is not only manifested in a boxing action, but throughout the whole process of the whole routine, among which? Will it sink every turn? Is a very obvious regularity.
To practice Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, you must work hard. If you can't fight hard, you can't play the traditional boxing flavor of Yang Guifei's big fight. Get rid of monkeys? For example, what is this action? Will it sink every turn? , is a typical boxing momentum.
Yang Zhenji, the fourth generation descendant of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, said in his book Tai Ji Chuan Yang Chengfu. Get rid of monkeys? The secret of this style is to relax your waist and hips when you are tired, sink your breath into your abdomen, and extend your hands from your feet to your waist. Get rid of monkeys? How to walk in the same way? Mr. Zhao Jifu of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province once published an article in Wudang magazine entitled "My Humble Opinion on the Method of Driving Monkeys". He described it this way: The monkey's left foot takes a step backward, and when it stops, it bends its left knee and hangs its left hip. When it exhales, its whole body sinks along with its waist, buttocks and crotch. At this time, his life gate will be propped up. With the chest pulled out, his shoulders will sink, his elbows will droop, his left wrist will be completely loosened, and his inner strength will accumulate. Then his waist and buttocks will be pulled, his body will turn left and move backward, and his center of gravity will be biased towards his left leg, and his strength will be lifted, sank into his abdomen and directly descended to the sky. In addition to kicking out monkeys, there are single whip, cloud hand, dynamic beating, wild horse splitting mane, kneeling and so on. Who turned around and almost sank. This kind of heavy exercise is produced when pushing hands? Spring strength? A solid foundation, so? Will it sink every turn? This is the universal law of the Tai Ji Chuan movement in Yang Tai. ?
Excellent physical effect
The essence of Tai Ji Chuan is martial arts and self-defense. This is especially true of Yang's Tai Ji Chuan, who emphasizes being close to people, not losing the top, being soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, hiding needles in cotton, implying strength, hiding but not revealing, and not revealing the shape of hitting people. It has a unique style of self-denial, non-introduction, softness and rigidity, preemptive strike, and four or two strokes, which has greatly shaken the Wulin.
Intangible cultural heritage
As early as around 1956 and 1959, the state physical culture and sports commission compiled the? 24 Simplify Tai Ji Chuan? 、? Type 88 Tai Ji Chuan? . Since its promotion, it has been well received by the masses. In order to meet the needs of the development of Tai Ji Chuan at home and abroad, the Wushu Research Institute of the State Sports Commission has specially compiled a four-style Tai Ji Chuan competition routine (Yang, Chen, Wu and Sun), requiring its movements to be arranged according to traditional training methods, which will play an important role in the vigorous development of Tai Ji Chuan sports at home and abroad in the future. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, this heritage was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
