Matters needing attention in children's tai chi practice
environmental requirement
It is best to take children to a natural environment with flowers and trees when playing Tai Ji Chuan. This kind of environment has fresh air and low noise, which is conducive to children's concentration.
Body posture requirements
Tai Ji Chuan's posture requires a lot, but as far as children are concerned, we should pay attention to five points.
1, the head needs to be natural and straight, not skewed, and it needs to be relaxed and flexible, so it is refreshing. Don't open your eyes angrily, don't frown and look straight ahead. Shut your mouth and don't open it. Don't grind your teeth hard. Put your tongue on the palate and breathe naturally through your nose.
2. Hands should not be stiff and tight, fingers should be stretched naturally, and you should not use force when making a fist. You need to be soft, as long as the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger are curled in turn so that the fingertips touch the palm, and the tip of the thumb is pressed against the middle of the index finger and middle finger. The so-called Tai Ji Chuan's boxing is hollow boxing, which is what it means.
3, including chest pull. The chest contains a little, just like a cat must try to curl its body when it catches a mouse. Before we jump, the three joints of hip, knee and foot must be bent. If not, we can't save and jump. The correct posture of pulling back is to consciously relieve the tension of shoulder and back muscles. Mentally, there is a palm-sized panel around the big cone, which can be attached to the close-fitting clothes. Children may not know this place, and adults should point it out to him.
4, when practicing boxing, you should top your waist. There is a saying in the song, "How can you have a waistcoat?" . For example, the cloud hand, knee jump, oblique flying potential, submarine needle and Gautama equation should all be straight, just like a compass, the needle moves but the needle shaft does not leave its original position. Can't cat's waist, cat's waist is to bow your head and shrug your hips, and your waist is not straight and you lose your center of gravity. This is easy to cause poor breathing.
5. Tai Ji Chuan's requirements for legs must first distinguish between reality and reality; Secondly, the movements should be light and flexible; Third, we must achieve balance and stability. For children, as long as the action is not awkward, it will naturally flow like water after a long time.
Respiratory demand
Breathing is an important part of Tai Ji Chuan. Generally speaking, there are two ways to breathe when playing Tai Ji Chuan, one is natural breathing, and the other is boxing breathing. Natural breathing means not paying too much attention to the coordination between breathing and boxing and movements. On the basis of good boxing, it is advisable to breathe naturally and comfortably, and children should also breathe in this way.
Tai Ji Chuan's way of keeping fit.
Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of boxing in the treasure house of China Wushu, and it has a unique exercise method, which can be summarized as "brain training, gas training and physical training". The three are closely combined, starting with what the brain does, then moving in and then moving out. In fact, it is an exercise method of both internal and external training. Generally speaking, Tai Ji Chuan's fitness is to improve physical fitness, adapt to changes in the objective environment, and enhance the body's immune ability, so as to achieve the purpose of disease prevention, treatment, fitness and self-defense.
Practice your brain
Tai Ji Chuan has a positive effect on the regulation and training of brain function. Taijiquan requires single-mindedness, concentration and obedience to the will. Internal and external trinity refers to the combination of meaning, qi and force, that is, the combination of meaning and qi, qi and force; External triad refers to hands and feet, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips. Continuous, in one go. These subtle, complicated and unique exercise methods and requirements are integrated into Tai Ji Chuan's exercises, which is good exercise for the brain. Then adjust the functions of various systems of the body to make them normal and the organs strong, so as to achieve the purposes of preventing and treating diseases, strengthening the body and self-defense.
Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of exercise method of "static braking, but still moving", which combines static and dynamic. This is beneficial to the regulation of excitation and inhibition of cerebral cortex. It has obvious curative effect on neurasthenia, insomnia and dizziness caused by excessive excitement of cerebral cortex. If we persist for a long time, we can gradually eliminate the pathological excitement caused by the disease in the cerebral cortex, thus achieving the therapeutic effect.
Tai Ji Chuan emphasized the exercise under the condition of whole body relaxation. Not only does the body need to relax, but also the brain needs to relax. Under the control of the brain, relaxing nerves and muscles can reflexively relax systemic arteriolar hypertension, which is mainly manifested in the aggregation of arterioles and at the same time alleviate the sclerosis of arteriolar walls. In this way, blood pressure drops and tends to be normal, which is more beneficial to patients with hypertension. Relaxation after mental and physical work can make excited nerves and tired muscles recover faster, which is why practicing boxing can eliminate fatigue better than staying still.
Do breathing exercises
Chinese medicine says: "Qi promotes blood circulation, while qi stagnation leads to blood stasis." The implementation of blood is mainly driven by qi, and qi and blood are interdependent and unified by opposites. Qi is the main aspect of contradiction, which is called "Qi Shuai is blood"; At the same time, qi can control the blood running in the meridians, so it is also called "qi can suck blood"; Qi can promote the metabolism of blood, which is called "qi can produce blood"; Massive bleeding will inevitably lead to deficiency of both qi and blood, which is the so-called "Qi escaping with blood".
Tai Ji Chuan's qi should include three aspects, namely, qi inhaled from the lungs, Shui Gu essence transported from the spleen and stomach and innate qi. This is connected with the spirit of Taoist cultivation.
Tai Ji Chuan's practice of Qi is under the control of the cerebral cortex nervous system, which makes the whole body in a relaxed state. With deep breathing, the viscera and external muscles are relaxed and contracted rhythmically, and the gas accumulated in abdomen of Dantian is transported to the whole body through the spiral winding of waist, spine and limbs. At this time, the peripheral nerves will feel acid, numbness, bloating and heat, which is also commonly known as "gas sensation". People with this sense of qi and blood execution have ruddy faces and their body temperature can rise by about 1 degree.
Through the execution of qi, about 200 capillaries are opened for use per square millimeter of muscle, and only about 5 capillaries have blood flow at ordinary times. Capillaries open and close according to a certain period. Therefore, their pulse seems to add millions of tiny "hearts" to the body. The large-scale development of these peripheral small hearts has reduced the burden on the heart and is extremely beneficial to the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
Through the forward and backward winding movement of limbs, not only the elasticity of muscles is exercised, but also the speed of blood circulation is improved, thus preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by blocked blood circulation.
Tai Ji Chuan can gradually deepen breathing, so the diaphragm drops more. Through the diaphragm moving up and down, the chest and abdomen movements are strengthened, which plays a "* * *" role in internal organs. This is an effect that drugs can't achieve. In this way, the blood flow of organs in the chest and abdominal cavity is vigorous, and the absorption function is enhanced, and it will receive good curative effect on diseases caused by various organs, such as gastrointestinal dyspepsia, diabetes, incontinence, etc.
Tai Ji Chuan's deep breathing makes the heart expel a lot of polluted air and inhale more oxygen, which improves the ventilation efficiency of the lungs and enhances the elasticity of lung tissue. This can reduce the ossification rate of costal cartilage, enhance chest activity, and play a certain role in preventing and treating lung diseases and emphysema.
When inhaling, hanging the hip refers to gently contracting the muscles, just like hanging the perineum, the perineum is intentionally lifted slightly and relaxed when inhaling. In this way, the perineum is relaxed, and after practicing for a long time, it will feel ups and downs with breathing. This is the movement of sphincter, which can prevent and treat hemorrhoids, proctoptosis, uterine prolapse and some chronic reproductive system diseases.
