2. The characteristics of traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan;

Features 1. Basic skills training. The basic skills mainly include: flexibility and overall coordination training of nine joints, skill catalysis of joints, training of breathing and internal breathing, skill catalysis of Dantian, work set after exercise and daily maintenance methods. Moves based on profound basic skills are actual combat moves. Even for the purpose of health-keeping exercise, if you don't practice basic skills well, the health-keeping effect will be greatly reduced.

Feature 2. Spinal movement. The joints with the greatest strength of human body are caudate gyrus and lumbar vertebrae, so the strength of caudate gyrus and lumbar vertebrae is directly related to a person's skill level. The spine leads to the brain, the lower collar nerve and the internal organs are hung in the middle, which is closely related to people's health. Strong spine means strong body and vigorous spirit; If the spine is weak, the body will be weak and there will be more diseases. Therefore, the importance of spine movement far exceeds the movement of hands and feet. The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan requires the spine to be folded like a snake, and the hands, feet, pelvis and spine should cooperate with each other, especially the spine.

Characteristic three. Principles of bionics. The survival and fighting skills of animals evolved over millions of years are the most scientific and practical, and useless skills have long been eliminated by nature; Therefore, the animal god in the fight is the most vital and aggressive; Therefore, China's family boxing system formed by imitating animal fighting is the most scientific, vital and aggressive.

Feature 4. Balance left and right. Most people are good at practicing boxing with their right hands, but their left hands are generally not as good as their left hands, which will lead to the phenomenon that their left hands and right hands are one-sided, which will have an impact on technology and health in the long run. The traditional Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan requires both hands to exercise, so as to correct the symmetry of the body and achieve the purpose of exercise.
