If you want to practice the basic skills of 24-style Tai Ji Chuan, you must understand the four steps of Wu Amin 24-style Tai Ji Chuan. Let's have a look!

The first step is to set the boxing frame.

Boxing frame, for any martial arts, is the foundation of foundation, and Wu Amin's 24-style Tai Ji Chuan is no exception. We need to master the essentials of action.

As far as Wu Amin's 24-style Tai Ji Chuan is concerned, its posture should conform to the "Twenty Essentials". That is to say, the head should be hung, the neck should be attached, the eyes should be flat, the body should be straight, the shape should be accurate, the degree should be correct, the shoulders should be heavy, the elbows should be hung, the arms should be bent, the armpits should be empty, the hands should be spread, the fingers should be divided, the fists should be empty, the hooks should be hung, the chest should be comfortable, the back should be flat, the waist should be strong, the hips should be gathered, the crotch should be round and the legs should be bent.

This "Twenty Essentials" includes the basic requirements of Tai Ji Chuan's body movements from the top of his head to his hands and feet, and is the embodiment of some contents in Yang Chengfu's Ten Essentials, with the purpose of facilitating operation and practice. Therefore, the "Twenty Essentials" is the basic essence of Wu Amin's twenty-four Tai Ji Chuan, and it is also a hard standard to judge whether the body movements are correct, so we should do this "Twenty Essentials" to the letter.

Step two, practice boxing.

When the body movements of boxing routines are basically learned and the posture is basically correct, it is necessary to practice boxing further. The so-called boxing means practicing routines. In this practice, according to certain standards, the individual movements of boxing routines are well connected and transformed to form a harmonious and smooth whole.

The standard of this set of boxing is sixteen words, namely "loose, light, soft, round, static, slow, harmonious and harmonious". These sixteen words are the standard for comprehensively measuring boxing level. Because boxing is dynamic and posture changes quickly, it takes a long time to master these sixteen words skillfully and completely, and it takes a process of gradual accumulation and gradual improvement to achieve perfection gradually. To this end, I will repeat the following words:

The focus of the sixteen-character is "looseness" and "softness", which is the foundation and the goal. When practicing boxing, relaxation is not intended to exert strength, that is, relax the brain, relax the fur, relax the muscles, relax the joints, relax the bones and muscles, relax the viscera, relax the blood vessels and relax the meridians (referred to as "eight relaxation"). The whole body is from the outside to the inside, from top to bottom, without any rigidity, and relaxed everywhere.

Only by being soft can we have the characteristics of "extremely soft, then extremely firm" and "combining rigidity with softness", and can we show Tai Ji Chuan's light and feminine style, so we should focus on cultivation.

After such a long period of exercise, it will promote the patency of the "Qi Road" and "Blood Road" of the human body and accelerate the circulation of qi and blood, which is commonly called "promoting qi and activating blood". This "two-way" state in which both qi and blood are active is the need of health preservation and health preservation.

Step three, practice your intentions.

Tai Ji Chuan is a family-run boxing method, and he pays special attention to his heart. In Wang Zongyue's Thirteen Poems, he wrote: "If you ask what is the standard of using the body, come with flesh and blood." This means that when you are boxing, you should put your intention in the leading position and let your intention play a leading role. Yang Chengfu's Ten Essentials requires that "the meaning is not hard", and more specifically points out the meaning of boxing.

The so-called practice of intention means that you should be proficient in "Italian boxing". The specific method of "Italian boxing guiding the shape" is to use ideas to guide the evolution of Tai Ji Chuan's body movements. Therefore, when boxing, the intention is to form first, and the action is to care later.

That is, "move first, then move internally, and then move in shape" is the unity of form and meaning. Intention requires "no more than", that is, the intention cannot be exceeded, and it is easy to be stiff, easy to stay, easy to lag, and cannot be soft; Intention cannot be "less than", and "less than" is easily lost, scattered and broken.

Therefore, "Italian boxing" must first be calm, not calm, not specialized, and not scattered, and there will be "over" and "down" phenomena when boxing. Only with one heart and one mind can we grasp the degree of intention and use it properly, so as to achieve "intention is constantly broken"

Step four, practice breathing.

1) Breathe "deep, long, thin, slow, even and light" when boxing. Tai Ji Chuan's breathing in boxing is more peaceful, slow, even and deep than people's usual breathing, which makes his breathing gentle and continuous, and there is no phenomenon of holding one's breath, holding one's breath, holding one's breath down, forcing one's breath up and pushing one's breath hard.

2) The breathing requirement is "abdominal reverse breathing" in boxing. Tai Ji Chuan's breathing in boxing is to restore people's acquired chest breathing to congenital abdominal breathing and adjust it to abdominal reverse breathing.

The method of abdominal reverse breathing is: the abdomen contracts when inhaling and bulges when exhaling. After a period of breathing training, I gradually got used to abdominal breathing in boxing, and then I became very skilled. I didn't need to control my own thoughts and became a natural way of breathing. If we can make abdominal breathing become a daily life again and return to the baby's innate abdominal breathing, then we will keep practicing.

3) Breathing during boxing should conform to the principle of "breathing with action". Boxing requires the coordination of movements and breathing, so as to achieve "inhalation and exhalation", "inhalation and exhalation" and "inhalation and exhalation".

So when you play boxing, do you concentrate on the action or breathing? When Tai Ji Chuan carries out technical attacks, it is mainly action, that is, "breathing with action"; When Tai Ji Chuan takes health preservation as the main purpose, he should give priority to breathing, that is, "taking breath as action".

This is because Tai Ji Chuan requires even breathing, and the frequency of breathing per minute is basically the same. Because the arc length of each stroke of Tai Ji Chuan is not equal, only in the posture of arc length, the movement is accelerated, and in the posture of short arc, the movement is slowed down, so that the movement is in place and the breathing is completed synchronously, so as to keep the breathing basically uniform.
