If you want to learn and practice Tai Ji Chuan well, you must first find a master. This master is a master who understands Ming, not a famous teacher, but a master who knows boxing. Not a famous teacher. Being a teacher is also an art, and not everyone can be a teacher. The teacher mentioned here is your first teacher. This period is a critical stage and a correct understanding of Tai Ji Chuan's consciousness. Lay a good foundation. On this basis, you can find a master who knows kung fu and boxing. The master mentioned here and the teacher mentioned earlier are two different relationships.
One is the teacher-student relationship, that is, the teacher-student relationship, which is something that teachers teach students some common sense. The other is mentoring relationship, that is, mentoring relationship. With the former relationship, the latter relationship can be determined. The latter relationship is the unique relationship that China inherited a certain skill, that is, the teacher-student relationship. Once this relationship is established, you should study, practice and understand seriously. Master's skills must be inherited before they can be carried forward.
What I said earlier is that we should be cautious in recognizing and learning from teachers, and don't be too busy recognizing and learning from teachers. This is a process that requires mutual understanding, running-in and goodwill. Tell me about martial arts. Wushu before Xiu De. Respecting teachers and loving disciples, I want to say one more thing here. The master means; A teacher for a day and a father for life means that once you become a teacher, you should respect him and treat him like a father. The meaning of apprenticeship is; It's just that you learn from the teacher and your brother does. A master should love him as his own brother. Only in this way can you learn and practice Tai Ji Chuan well. Learn the real Tai Ji Chuan. Boxing frame (routine) is easy to learn. No matter what method you use, you can learn from Tai Ji Chuan's posture. Don't think that just because you have learned one or two so-called Tai Ji Chuan routines, you will definitely go to Tai Ji Chuan. This is wrong, wrong, in fact, you don't understand Tai Ji Chuan, which is far from Tai Ji Chuan. In today's society, Tai Ji Chuan is divided into three factions; One is a school, the other is a normal school, and the third is a park school. (These three schools are actually the reality of China Wushu. ) Colleges and universities are modern Tai Ji Chuan, with great difficulty in movements, generous stretching and performance functions. The School of Learning from the Classics is a traditional martial art with attack and skill as its main purpose, and it is a traditional Tai Ji Chuan with masters. Pu Xue is either a teacher or, as I said earlier, after learning one or two so-called Tai Ji Chuan routines, he will teach others and have activities together. These three factions determine the environment in which we live and the angle in which we study and practice Tai Ji Chuan. Tai Ji Chuan's key pose exercise is gymnastics, Tai Ji Chuan's recreational exercise is dance, Tai Ji Chuan's stage exercise is art, and Tai Ji Chuan's exercise on the competition field is called "Difficult Beauty", which is specially designed for competitive competitions. Rules come from colleges and universities, procedures are moved from drama textbooks, and skills are taken from dance. The effect is to compete for places on the playing field. Tai Ji Chuan is used to attack and fight. It is a real martial art, a traditional Tai Ji Chuan.
There are several key words about the relationship between mentoring and practicing Tai Ji Chuan. Teach me, realize there, learn from others and transform myself. Don't violate it, don't force others to do it. -analogy does not force ichthyosaurs to climb mountains, while tigers and leopards fight waves. And teach eagles to hit the sky and fish to swim in the river. Enlighten innate ability and transform acquired physical strength. Chen Xin and The Legend of Tai Chi said: The name of boxing is Tai Chi, which embodies the natural operation of nature, the opening and closing of Yin and Yang, and is not arrogant to non-Tai Chi nature. Therefore, it was named Tai Chi Chuan. Spirit is more precious than wealth, so don't show your beauty. It depends on the level of the master and the understanding of the disciples. Tai Ji Chuan's needs are; Don't have the shape of a pull, and don't have the meaning of promotion.
The key to learning and practicing Tai Ji Chuan well is to practice Tai Ji Chuan with the spirit of "intentionally or unintentionally". Pay attention to Yin instead of Yang. Pay attention to Yin being soft until the baby is in Tai Chi state. Pay attention to Yang not Tai Chi. The meaning of this sentence is; Note that women practice to restore their innate instinct. Instinct is "intuitive movement", that is, automatic movement without thinking. If you think about it before you move, it is not instinctive exercise, but conditioned exercise. Instinctive movement is "a movement without thinking and understanding." Instinctive motivation is natural, random and uncertain. Instinctive motivation is "killing the heart is not enough, strength is not its shape" and instinctive motivation comes from spiritual cultivation. Practicing Yang is acquired. Efforts are mandatory, conditional and fixed. Efforts are concentrated, and the strength is commensurate with the shape. Efforts come from physical training.
To learn and practice Tai Ji Chuan well is to revise the certificate with Tai Ji Chuan as the "Tao". First of all, we should change our way of thinking. Practicing boxing is to cultivate "Tao" and correct "Tao". The first is proof, enlightenment and awareness. The second is "getting". Tai Ji Chuan thinks with his body. Enlightenment is not his brain to understand, but his body to understand, similar to Zen's "epiphany." Only when his body is enlightened and he continues to practice can he have the hope of enlightenment.
In the process of learning and practicing Tai Ji Chuan well, it is mainly to enlighten the innate ability mentioned above and transform the acquired physical and physiological state. The process of emancipating the mind, changing the way of thinking and enhancing knowledge. "Knowledge" means that you should distinguish between true and false, right and wrong, feasible and unfeasible while studying and practicing. Although China is rich in writing and language, there are many articles and books about Tai Ji Chuan. But some are right and some are wrong. The right thing is to inspire you. What is wrong is misleading you and hurting you. Everything you learn is routine. Routine is a set, you have to break through, don't let this set bind you. Stood in a daze, meditation like clay sculpture and wood carving, and mechanical rotation will suppress personality and erase spirituality, rigid thinking and rigid posture. If you can't learn, you can't practice Tai Ji Chuan. This calligraphy exercise is an exercise of practice. Through your repeated practice of Tai Ji Chuan's routine, you have found something and realized something. You use this refined word to refine these insights and discoveries and gradually improve yourself. In fact, these feelings are all met by chance, discovered suddenly, and met unexpectedly, which is endless forever. This is boxing. That is to say; Practice routines intentionally, not get punched. This is also the meaning of "intentionally or unintentionally true" in boxing theory.
As long as you get the fist, you can realize the truth that "nothing is created, nothing is created". Knowing one law leads to all laws. You can study and practice Tai Ji Chuan.
