Tai Ji Chuan's basic footwork
Tai Ji Chuan's basic footwork is as follows:

1, forward

This forward gait includes three main movements, namely lunge, forced step and continuous step. The corresponding acupoint of the human body is Yin Hui, which belongs to the kidney meridian. If you want to move forward, think about the perineum and look forward, which will help you move forward smoothly. The lunge is now named, that is, the hind toes move outward about 45 degrees, the legs are slightly straight, the front feet move forward, the toes are forward, the whole sole is firmly on the ground, the front bow of the knee is perpendicular to the calf, and the body is located in front of the front legs. For example, kneeling and stepping.

Step 2: Step back.

The corresponding acupoint of the human body is Zuqiao (Tang Yin), which belongs to the Heart Meridian. If you want to retreat, you will retreat. If you want to be moved, look forward and look down, you will be able to retreat smoothly. "Ma bu" or "Ma bu" means standing with two feet side by side, taking a step back with your right foot and moving your toes 45 degrees outward. Be practical, bend your knees and squat down, with your front toes facing forward and your body leaning half to your front legs. This is the style of monkey boxing. Half-horse style, the last step of the old brand. Because Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan has the saying, there is only one way to retreat and chase the monkey backwards by boxing, that is, point to the ground with your toes and implement it after your heels.

Step 3 look around

This kind of footwork includes grinding step, retrogression, combined step and oblique step. The corresponding acupoint of the human body is Jiaji, which belongs to the liver meridian. If you want to turn sideways (left and right), if you want to go up and down Jiaji point to Zu Gu Quan point, your body will turn sideways freely. Mobu is an old name, and few people mention it now. When the boxing potential changes from left to right, take the heel as the axis, and the sole of the foot moves close to the body to the left and right, resulting in friction, so that there will be no symptoms of leaning forward and leaning back, and pressing the name every day.

Characteristics of Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan

Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan is famous for its femininity, relaxed and natural movements, continuous relaxation and unique quiet beauty. Although the boxing frame is small, it has the foundation of a big frame and is developed and compact. It stretches itself in compactness and is unconstrained. Push the hand correctly and strictly, be delicate with iron bars, be quiet and not act rashly, and be good at being kind.
