Essentials of Tai Ji Chuan
The essence of Tai Ji Chuan is as follows:

1, conformal breathing

Many boxers advocate "natural breathing" when practicing boxing, thinking that deliberate pursuit will lead to deviation. The author believes that mastering breathing can play the role of aerobic physical exercise to strengthen blood circulation, get rid of the old and absorb the new, and accelerate metabolism. Tai Ji Chuan breathing method can improve cardiopulmonary function, increase vital capacity, enhance human respiratory function, and achieve the effect of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body.

As long as boxing practitioners abide by the breathing principle of "deep, long, thin and even" and master the deep exhalation when "opening, rising and bending" and the deep inhalation when "closing, falling, falling and stretching", there will be no deviation, and they can better protect their health and keep fit.

2. Continuity

The ancients said: "Running water does not rot, and family members do not eat the walls." The biggest difference between Tai Ji Chuan and other sports is the continuity of action. Even an action requires "no movement, no movement, manual movement, waist movement, foot movement and eye movement".

Life lies in exercise. The reason why Tai Ji Chuan can keep fit is because of the endless law of Tai Ji Chuan's exercise load.

Step 3 focus (attention)

Some boxers like to talk and laugh at random when they fight, and their thoughts are scattered. They can't play boxing well and can't keep fit. When boxing, the mind is focused on the action, the boxing will get to the point, and the cerebral cortex will get the greatest rest. After that, you will feel like a spring breeze, full of energy, relaxed and happy. Over time, you will be healthy and strong.

4, the intention is not hard

Pathology of traditional Chinese medicine: "The human disease lies in stagnation of qi and blood. Therefore, when practicing boxing, Tai Ji Chuan learners should always check whether they are stiff, clumsy, relaxed, light and natural, and comfortable in operation.

Excessive exertion will lead to muscle soreness, ligament strain and joint pain, which leads to what Chinese medicine says: "Qi and blood run slowly and stagnate, and meridians are blocked." This is the origin of the disease. Boxing practitioners should pay attention to the law of "meaning is not hard", and it is possible to keep healthy and strengthen the body by being slow and soft.
