How to practice "Taiyi 72 Crossing Hands"
One of the series of "Taiyi Youlong Gate", "Taiyi Seventy-two Palms" is one of the famous gardens of Chinese Wushu. To practice it well, we must first have a comprehensive understanding of Wushu. Most young people understand Wushu as an offensive and defensive technique of grasping and falling; Old people often regard it as fitness exercise; Martial arts actors often regard it as art; Those who are engaged in the study of Wushu theory regard it as the embodiment of China's classical philosophy. They all see only one side of their own needs. Wushu should include four aspects they know, which is the most comprehensive understanding of Wushu. Only by comprehensive understanding can we fully master and practice Wushu routines. Wushu, sports, art and philosophy it contains are not only different technical and cultural levels, but a harmonious, unified and complementary whole. Actions that conform to the philosophy of martial arts will naturally have a good attack effect; Good and skillful martial arts movements, lingering changes in advance and retreat, and seamless exertion embody the classical philosophy of "alternating yin and yang" and "protecting the right before the left, protecting the right before the front". It also shows the beauty of coordination and stretching in human movement. With these characteristics, its fitness effect will be better. There are many retired people practicing boxing. They always say: my waist and legs are not good, my feet are not high, I can't jump, I can't talk about beauty; At my age, I still talk about fighting, as long as I can keep fit. This understanding is not comprehensive. The artistry of boxing is not fully reflected in the scope of waist and leg work. Spiritual concept and charm in the process of exercise; Slight coordinated changes in waist, hips, shoulders, wrists and fingers. Landing on all fours; Dynamic movement, the pace changes with you, the eyes turn with you, the inside and outside are combined, and follow up and down. These are the unique beauty of Wushu. No amplitude is needed, and no strength is needed. So can the elderly and the infirm. Playing beautifully, with artistic characteristics, interesting, good persistence and better fitness effect. The exercise process of routines is essentially a process of fighting with imaginary opponents. No matter how old you are or how weak you are, you are beating this virtual object in regular drills. You can do it as long as you are correct and imaginative. Doing so is not only correct and beautiful, but also an excellent psychological benign reaction, which enhances self-confidence and achieves better fitness effect. There is an old saying in Wulin: "As long as you make a move, you will know whether there is one." What's there? That is, there is a correct way of attacking, which conforms to the principle of boxing. Have ideas and charm. An old martial artist who studies boxing, you can feel his "presence" as soon as he makes a move. When I was a child, I studied under the famous martial arts master Mr. Tong. At the end of Qing Dynasty, he worked as an escort in Guangdong and Guangxi Escort Agency, and lived 90% of his life. At that time, he performed two movements at will and won applause from the audience. He tilted his head, as if a fist was hitting him. He pushed his palm forward and felt something fall in front of him. This is "having". He often said: boxing is like a ghost, others can't see it, you have to see it. Whether you are young or old; No matter what your purpose of engaging in Wushu is, you must pay attention to the four connotations of Wushu-aggression, sportsmanship, artistry and philosophy. There are four ways to learn and practice Wushu routines well: first, practice with others; The second is self-training; The third is watching practice, and the fourth is god practice. "Follow the practice" means following the teacher, which is also called learning practice. Is to learn from teachers and books. This is the basic method for beginners to get started. After learning some movements from teachers and books, you must leave and practice and remember by yourself. This is called "self-training". The third method is "watching practice", not reading, but silently watching the teacher practice. When the teacher is away, I watch the teacher's video, from the CD, from the Internet. From watching and practicing, we can "realize" what is right and what is wrong, so that we can learn and understand what is not thoroughly written in the book and what the teacher has not said, and also enhance our memory. The fourth method is "practice", which many people don't know, and it is also the most ingenious method. "Divine training" means sleeping or sitting, closing your eyes and imagining yourself boxing somewhere. You should be fascinated by every movement. The imaginary place to practice boxing is a place you like and are familiar with, and it is the same place every time, which is easy to form a conditioned reflex. It is difficult for a person who lacks phenomenal strength to compose music in his own mind, which requires training and frequent practice. Ancient people were superstitious and mystified "practice". People think that if God practices a certain skill, he can attack his enemy by practicing God, and the other person will eventually die. Of course, this is impossible, it is absolute idealism. But practicing boxing by spiritual practice will really make your boxing more refined. In addition to physical training, "spiritual training" can also be used for rational training of thinking and comparison. The effect of this practice will be better. Master the following methods of self-training, watching and psychological training, and stick to them, boxing will be practiced well. The four connotations and four learning methods of Wushu are universal laws, which are applicable to all kinds of boxing. But "Taiyi 72 Hand in Hand" has its unique personality. It is a family-run boxing method with grasping, taking, sealing and closing as the main content. In addition to using the same learning methods, we also need to learn according to their personality. The techniques of Waijiaquan are clear and easy to understand. However, the attack and defense action of "Taiyi 72 Hand in Hand" is very complicated. It is formed by the comprehensive movements of feet, waist, arms, wrists and palms, which is not easy to understand and master. Be sure to understand it carefully. It is best for two people to study at the same time, one as a captor and the other as a captured person, and discuss with each other in order to master it better. Understand the offensive and defensive meaning of each action thoroughly, and the action will be standard and beautiful, and you will remember it firmly. This not only improves the interest in practicing boxing, but also improves the fitness effect of practicing boxing. "taiyi 72 palms together" is a family-run boxing method. To practice well, you must know what it is. For this problem, most people will understand it this way: the martial arts gang is slow to play and soft to practice, which is called Neijia Boxing. Play fast, and practice happens to belong to the Shaolin Sect. It's called crooked fist. This only distinguishes between styles and sects, but does not understand the inner family and the outer family in essence. "Walking in form, keeping in mind, being good at spirit, being introverted, is called staying in the house". This is the essential understanding of Neijia Boxing. What is "going through the motions?" External movements of hands and feet must originate from the inside, from waist and abdomen to shoulders and hips to hands and feet. Such as an outstretched hand, not the body is motionless, just straighten your arm. Before reaching out, the waist and abdomen must transfer the force from the legs. To pull your hand back, you should first tuck in your abdomen, turn your back, turn your shoulders, and then bend your arms and pull back. All movements must first move the waist and buttocks, so as to keep still at any time and produce seamless power. Not only is it powerful and comprehensive, but it can also drive the movement of internal organs and increase the operation of endocrine and qi and blood. Make the limb movement state softer, more coordinated and more beautiful. What is "keep your head inside?" Hiding your heart in it means hiding your heart in your body and not going out. For example, if you exert your strength, you will only feel the strength of your waist and abdomen. Hands and feet back, only feel energetic, back to the abdomen. Push your palms outward and keep Laogong point. Kick to keep Yongquan point. In sports, the mind always stays in its own body, anytime and anywhere, and God depends on it. Meaning and internal gas are integrated, meaning follows gas, and meaning rules follow gas. Keep your head, you can not be scattered, you can be quick-witted and energetic. What is a "gas expert?" Being proficient in Qi is the phenomenon of Qi-moving after Neijia Boxing has been practiced to a certain extent and entered Qigong. The "qi" here is different from the air running in the respiratory organs, but the "internal qi" running in the meridians. Through slow, gentle and continuous circular motion, coupled with the natural cooperation of breathing and sucking of external air, after a period of movement, external air will drive internal air. At this time, let nature take its course and turn your mind from external qi to internal qi. After pushing the hand, you will feel a breath from Neidantian to Laogong. When the palm is retracted, the internal qi returns to Dantian from Laogong. As you move, you feel gas all over your body. The "gas" referred to here is incomprehensible to the gas in physics. This is just a kind of inner feeling, and it is a phenomenon that occurs when the internal boxing reaches a certain skill, and it cannot be forced. Don't fall in love with neat appearance, let it go. What is "God is introverted?" God is introverted, that is, keeping God inside. The ancients divided the gods of the human body into yuan gods and knowledge gods. Yuan God refers to a god who is quiet, serene, inaction and wise without using this mental outlook. It also refers to the primitive god, that is, the god when the baby is born. This god is in charge of the coordinated operation, growth and development of the internal organs and vitality. Is an inner, born God. Knowing God is a post-God, a God who is thinking, comparing and imagining for external desires and demands. Knowing God too much, showing God too much, will hurt Yuan God, will destroy the coordination of internal functions of the human body, inhibit vitality, and make the body weak and sick. Neijiaquan attaches great importance to health preservation, and demands to know God through exercise convergence and reveal Yuan God. Make exercise achieve higher fitness effect. So God is introverted, which means knowing that God is introverted. If you want to practice the routine of "taiyi 72 palms together", you should always pay attention to walking in the form, keeping in your heart, being proficient in spirit and being introverted. Only in this way can we have the sports characteristics and artistic characteristics of Neijia Boxing and get the best fitness effect of Neijia Boxing. The cultivation process of Neijia Boxing includes four stages: self-defense, fitness, self-cultivation and health preservation. These four stages are integrated with each other, but the emphasis is different in different training stages. The first stage of self-defense, that is, just in case, is the main purpose. Whether you need it or not, like it or not, you must practice martial arts on this basis. It is necessary to study the meaning and method of attack and defense of each movement in the routine, but it should be implemented in the word "defense", because this is a family-run boxing method, which requires defending as the attack, combining rigidity with softness, controlling speed slowly, and dialing a thousand pounds in four or two. "Defense" is the original intention and characteristic of Neijia Boxing. "Prevention" should not only prevent attacks by bad people, but also prevent diseases and accidents. After practicing boxing, the internal qi is vigorous and natural diseases are difficult to invade. After practicing boxing, you are quick-sighted and quick-handed, and accidents are naturally easy to avoid. The second stage of fitness, that is, taking fitness as the main purpose. But it must be carried out on the basis of the first stage, and knowing the meaning of attack and defense will be accurate. Accurate movements will be smooth and smooth, and the fitness effect will be good. For example, kicking, twisting waist and pushing hands in routines. In the first stage, you consider how to send the strength of your waist and legs to your palm. In the second stage, while maintaining the requirements of the first stage, we should also consider how to stretch every joint and meridian of the waist, legs and hands with dark force during exercise. In the first stage of the routine, we consider how to leverage and how to make the other party lose strength and be captured. In the second stage, we should consider how to use internal strength to carry out local self-massage in twisting and winding movements. The speed of boxing, the first stage is to consider how to dodge and leverage the impact. In the second stage, on the issue of speed and strength, we should consider how to maintain the reasonable growth and stability of breathing and heartbeat. In the radian of action, the first stage should consider how to give full play to your greatest potential and hit the key parts of your opponent. In the second stage, the integrity and comfort of the body should be considered on the premise of maintaining a certain movement radian. The third stage is self-cultivation. Cultivation refers to people's sentiment, character and moral cultivation. The second stage of exercise is more important than physical health, and the third stage of exercise is more important than mental health. These two aspects complement each other. Mental health promotes physical health and is conducive to psychological stability and balance. The requirements of the first two stages have been thoroughly understood. After practicing, you don't have to think about whether the action is right or not, and you don't have to think about its aggression and fitness. Arc, slow and continuous skillful movements, make your spiritual world stable in sports. At this time, you are quiet, blind, deaf, unintentional, unintentional, highly peaceful and highly awake. In this way, we entered the third stage of practicing Neijia Boxing-self-cultivation. Through round, slow and repeated movements, the floating and dry heart is subdued; Through the refinement of subtle movements, make your heart go deep and then settle down. This is a high level of kung fu. China Kung Fu can be divided into life Kung Fu and sex Kung Fu. The first and second stages are life work, and the third stage is sex work. Only through the exercise of life skills can you enter the practice of sexual skills, and then you can double your life. Only in this way can we achieve a high level of fitness and longevity. Haste makes waste. Without the correct, subtle and hard training in the first and second stages, without a complete understanding of China's Kung Fu, without years of accumulation of Kung Fu and temper of mind, it is impossible to rise to this level. The fourth stage of health care. Is to sustain life. This is the inevitable result of the first three stages of practice. The first and second stages are the way to do something, and the third stage is how to enter inaction through doing something. The fourth stage is the way of doing nothing, doing nothing without doing anything. Subjective inaction, objectively speaking, is a blessed land that combines static and dynamic, physical and mental cultivation, cultivation and cultivation. Historically, when the average life expectancy was only over 30 years old, most famous martial artists lived to over 90 years old, and some even reached 1 10 years old. When they were young, they had profound martial arts and once won the blade with their bare hands. When performing routines, people can be dazzled and cheered. Old cranes grow old and live a long and healthy life. Why is this? It is they who understand the true meaning of Wushu and practice it correctly. Kung fu can enter a high-level result.
