The use of Tai Ji Chuan is the significance of Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense techniques. Tai Ji Chuan's usage is the core content of Tai Ji Chuan.
To learn the usage of Tai Ji Chuan, we must first systematically master Tai Ji Chuan's thirteen words: "stroke, squeeze, press, pick, stroke, elbow, lean, advance, retreat, protect, look and decide".
(1) About energy. It is the first of the eight laws. In Yang Chengfu's "Encyclopedia of Taiji Zhuan" (hereinafter referred to as "Encyclopedia of Body Use"), it is said that "the law is outward, and the opponent is supportive. Don't press the word "close to your chest and abdomen", which is the most taboo, and being late is also taboo. Board, I don't know my own movement. Backward people don't know the choice of their enemies, their friends or each other. This is not a slap in the face. Those who are late and heavy will use their strength to control others and become dead hands. If Taijiquan family members don't take what they want, they will say "yes", and persistence is not resistance. Hands out, trying to stick it back, don't let your hands near your chest. They all turn their backs. As soon as I turned around, my strength had already been realized.
Basic methods of "1" and "0". Yang style, one hand is placed across the chest, about one foot, and the other hand is attached to the forehand forearm to assist posture. The strength of the hand is near the wrist of the forearm Don't pat your hand too close to your chest. My teacher Li Derun said: "Being close to the wall will lead to your beating." I was forced to leave. Don't shoot your hand too far. If it is too far away, it will be easily controlled by the enemy.
2. Strength includes challenges. It means to seek strength by strength. Hand in hand For two people, the contact point of both arms is sticky instead of resisting and throwing. In order to test the strength, direction and path of the other side, or to draw out the strength of the other side, I often increase my strength and listen to the reaction of the other side with a sticky point. I can be flexible if the other party forces me; If the other party changes, I can squeeze. This is called "strength" and "questioning". The teacher once said, "Hold hands firmly and be soft." . This means that when you grasp the strength, you should be able to hear the ups and downs, rigidity, stagnation and internal strength of the other party. This is called "whether there are experts or not." So as to formulate offensive and defensive strategies.
Don't lose your strength. When Yang Tai Ji Chuan is practicing boxing, it is important not to lose strength. Only when Chiang Kai-shek succeeds can we continue to work hard. Like a sparrow's tail wagging. If you don't have the strength to row back by yourself, then the enemy will move against the trend. If you retreat to my side without losing your strength, the enemy will have nothing to do. It is very important to practice boxing.
4. change. Two people push the hand, and the broken arm must be smoothed. In fact, this is also the meaning of the function. Master Yang Chengfu said, "I have to turn my back to turn my strength. Once I turn my back, I have achieved my goal." . Is that I can't be slow or heavy. Otherwise, it will become a force of resistance, which violates the principles of Tai Ji Chuan. When the other person slaps, I change my stroke, turn my back and spin out; As soon as the other party pulled, I followed, and it got stuck. Practiced hard for so long. You can generate your own resilience, and you can succeed.
Some people push their hands slowly and heavily. The key is that the waist is not active. The key to the waist is that the posture is dull. The key to the posture is that the upper limbs don't know how to hold the chest, and the lower limbs don't know how to move the center of gravity and loosen their legs. In this way, a complete family cannot be formed, nor can it be called strength.
Two, study and practice Tai Ji Chuan must master the three technical essentials of Tai Ji Chuan.
The three technical essentials are "deficiency of qi is the highest", "loosening the waist and buttocks" and "distinguishing between reality and excess".
The technical essentials of virtual spirit and top strength rank first among the top ten technical essentials. Bowing one's head or shaking one's head when practicing boxing will lead to listlessness and inattention, which is not conducive to cultivating one's spirit. Not to mention practicing kung fu, fitness and health are hopeless. Therefore, mastering the essentials of virtual spirit is a big pass.
First of all, Tai Ji Chuan emphasized that "white is the top strength", which means that the head is white, which will be conducive to the standardization of movements and "attention"; At the same time, it can also inspire people's spirit and show people's spirit, temperament and charm of martial arts. Biography of yang taiji
It seems that a rope is tied to your head when you ask for boxing.
Secondly, it is conducive to the balance between Yin and Yang to achieve "virtual collar strength". Many people who practice Tai Ji Chuan attach great importance to "qi sinking into the abdomen" and pay attention to "qi swelling and restraint". "Virtual collar" and "qi sinking into the abdomen" complement each other. If we only pay attention to "Shen Dantian" without upward "virtual leadership", then Yin and Yang will not be balanced. Shen and his collar are directly opposite. Physiologically, they are beneficial to the stretching of the spine and effectively promote the operation of qi and blood.
Third, the realization of "virtual leadership" is conducive to improving the quality of life. "Virtual strength" exercises people's spirit. As the saying goes, "there are three treasures in the sky, and people have three treasures." Baihui point on the top of the head is the confluence of human meridians and yang. The key to practicing Tai Ji Chuan is to "get the top force". Practice Tai Ji Chuan. Pay attention to your eyes and follow them. And to do things with eyes holding hands, you need "virtual leadership" and spirits. Chinese medicine says: when gods gather, they are born; God dispersed and died. "empty collar and top strength" is conducive to exercising God's will. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan can keep fit. Besides exercising limbs and aerobic exercise, it is more important to exercise people's vigor. The key to exercising spirit is "getting the top force". When the spirit comes up, people will concentrate and live a long life naturally.
The technique of relaxing waist and buttocks plays a key role in the massage of waist and abdomen and the transmission of strength.
Yang Chengfu's Ten Essentials of Taiji Legend says to loosen your waist. "The waist is the master of the suit, you can loosen your waist and then your feet are strong, and the footwall is stable. The changes of reality and excess are all rotated by the waist. Therefore, it is said:' The source of fate lies in the waist gap'. If you have no strength, you must rely on your waist and legs to seek it. " The waist is located in the middle of our body, and it is like a wheel. Boxing posture generally changes around 135 degrees, and this rotation depends entirely on the rotation of the waist. This speed is the fastest. If the rotation is greater than 135 degrees, it depends on the cooperation of the feet, such as turning to punch, turning to stab and so on. At the same time, relax the waist and buttocks and do Tai Ji Chuan spiral exercise, which can massage the waist and abdomen. This has an irreplaceable role in fitness and health preservation.
The art of Taijiquan is divided into the first meaning with the distinction between reality and reality. Regardless of reality, it is difficult to move. We call the last step tamping, and the difference between reality and reality is like a catwalk. Regardless of reality, the upper body is not straight, and subversion is inevitable. Regardless of the actual situation, the lower limbs are weak, let alone internal strength. Regardless of the actual situation, yin and yang are not right, and Tai Chi chuan tuishou is easily influenced. Regardless of the actual situation, the waist and legs are stiff, and boxing is like a child playing with a roller. Therefore, it is very important to learn the catwalk of Tai Chi Chuan.
The above three technologies are closely related. If you walk like a cat, you can't bow your head; If Baihui wears a collar, if you don't relax your waist and hips and stretch your upper and lower sides, you will have breasts and it will be difficult to live together. We call it a loose bookshelf.
Third, practice Tai Ji Chuan to lead hands with his waist.
Yang Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to the key point of practicing Tai Ji Chuan-waist and hand. I think this is a key point. Give a few examples to illustrate.
1, Yunshou. First shift the center of gravity to the left leg, then turn the waist and buttocks to the left, and then drive the left shoulder and left hand.
2. The white crane has bright wings. Hands down, arms up, center of gravity to the right leg, waist to the right, and then press your right hand outward.
3. Get down on your knees. In the previous step, turn your waist first, then hold your knees and press your palms.
In this way, long-term practice with the waist leading the hand will receive good results: first, massage the internal organs; The second is to stabilize the center of gravity; The third is to dredge qi and blood; The fourth is to form reverse abdominal breathing to cultivate internal strength.
Leading hands with the waist is called waist technique. Wang Zongyue said in the Song of the Thirteen Potential of Taiji, "Don't underestimate the thirteen potential. The source of fate lies in the waist gap. Pay attention to the waist and relax the abdomen. " Zhang Sanfeng's "Tai Ji Chuan Classic" pointed out that "it is rooted in the foot, originated from the leg, mainly in the waist, and shaped in the finger ... When there is a bad opportunity, the body will be scattered, and its illness will be sought after by the waist and legs."
Let's learn the secret of Yang Chengfu's "waist of the body". "Can the waist of the body not exist?" Why need one? The waist difference keeps learning, and the body shape suits me. What is the ultimate goal of this truth? I am also confused for ten years! "Visible, Tai Ji Chuan has a special position in practicing waist skills.
To practice waist skills, first, basic skills such as winding silk are all waist skills; Second, boxing means paying attention to the field list, cooperating with opening and closing breathing, and driving with the waist; Third, practice Tai Ji Chuan's pushing hand, which is a way to get twice the result with half the effort.
In short, these barriers have passed. Only when you are motionless, motionless, the technical essentials of the whole family, the opening and closing of breathing, the alternation of hair and storage, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the inner strength of Tai Ji Chuan can you get on the upper body!
