I just started practicing ~ I think Baduanjin is very good, which is very suitable as a basic kung fu ~ Because Baduanjin mainly promotes blood circulation ~ exercises blood vessels ~
Specialized in energy transport ~ The main exercise is effective ~ The movement is simple ~ The effect is magical (Xiong Changqing's recent practice proves that its strength-enhancing effect is magical, and you can refer to the sequence of Xiong's Yijinjing), but there are many requirements for practicing ~ For example, 100 days without sexual intercourse or nocturnal emission ~ If you want to practice effectively, you must strictly abide by those requirements ~ It is recommended to refer to Xiong's Yijinjing when practicing.
Wei Tuo's Twelve Styles are devoted to relaxing muscles, but now only postures and several essentials have been handed down, but there is nothing correct about the breathing system, so I don't recommend practicing, because guiding Qigong can only be effective by postures, breathing and ideas. If the posture and breathing are not properly coordinated, it is no different from gymnastics, but if you want to practice, it is recommended to refer to Shi Deyang's shelf, because his posture is still relatively standard. As for Shi Deqian.
The most authentic and systematic introduction to Zhou Guan Shu> is because its inheritance is orderly ~ its source is clear ~ and Zhou personally verified its magical effect, and added three books to calligraphy. As long as you study it carefully, you will find that its action arrangement is really exquisite and orderly ~ step by step ~ so there is no doubt that it is an authentic excellent internal skill.
About practicing this skill ~ most friends must be confused by Zhou's semi-classical annotations and essentials ~ In fact, I think that as long as you think about it carefully, you will feel that Zhou has actually said everything you should say ~ If you are not clear ~ I suggest to refer to Comte's annotations ~ But you must remember that they are references ~ Because Comte's annotations are mostly correct ~ But there are still a few things to discuss ~ I always think that we should not worship any experts ~ Experts should also refer to them objectively.
What I want to put forward here is the version of Shi ~ just refer to his movements ~ The other ones are of little value ~ Because he is actually practicing the weekly version ~ But he has removed many important things (such as the 14-style breathing style of Sancai in the picture), cleverly added some self-created postures, and there are many places wrong with breathing. So, don't think it's authentic just because it belongs to Shaolin ~ Because Shaolin is not what it used to be ~ There is basically no real kung fu ~ You can understand this by knowing the modern history of Shaolin ~ I won't go into details here ~ Now only Shi Dejian has truly inherited Shaolin's most traditional Zen, martial arts and medicine ~
On the whole, I think ~ if it's just simple exercise ~ less illness ~ then eight pieces of brocade are enough ~ because it's simple and effective ~ if you want to improve your strength ~ then practice the next twelve pieces ~ if you have enough time to practice' and have a deep desire for traditional internal skills', then the best choice is the weekly edition, but you should pay attention to the points I have expounded above ~ but one thing must be observed ~ that is, there are differences in the practice process.
So let's communicate together ~ make progress together ~ Finally, I wish you good health ~ Thank you for watching ~
The most authentic one is Zhou's Theory of Strengthening Tendons and Washing Marrow.
