Tai Ji Chuan's basic method is "push, slide, squeeze, press, pick, push, elbow, lean, advance, retreat, care, hope and decide". The movements are slow and comfortable. When practicing boxing, the waist is required to be straight, the jaw is closed, the back is straight and drooping, which has the artistic conception of floating clouds. The Boxer Rebellion in Qing Dynasty said that "the boxing potential is like the sea, endless".
At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan also attaches great importance to practicing. The so-called "Qi" is to cultivate the human body's own spirit, which is also one of the characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan's Neijia Kung Fu. Among the eight kinds of strength methods, strength is the foundation of eight, and you can't leave this strength for a moment when practicing Tai Ji Chuan. It is a spring force, and it is also like propping a boat with water, such as weighing; It is perception, and all external forces rely on perception to distinguish the direction and size.
The other seven forces are just different in orientation and practice. For example, if the palm is wrapped from the inside out, it is called "stretching", if the palm is wrapped from the outside in, it is called "stretching", and if the hands are stretched outward at the same time, it is called "squeezing". Strength is a kind of upward and outward strength, which makes the other side's strength not reach the chest, and it is a defensive technique to protect oneself; The stroke force is a lateral force, which is three points downward.
Seven points backward, when using it, it should be consistent with the chest, waist and crotch to prevent the other party from hitting the crotch with their shoulders; Squeezing force is the force of pushing and throwing forward, with the back of hand squeezing and the other hand assisting. The key point is to exert strength with both hands and grasp the front bow with both feet; Pressure is the force to push or lift forward. When in use, the head should be suspended by chest and the back should be pulled out by waist strength. Encouragement is the power to grasp each other's wrists and elbows with hands and sink downward and backward.
