What basic skills should Tai Ji Chuan learn first? Tai Ji Chuan is a healthy exercise. No matter young or old, you can try to beat Tai Ji Chuan. Long-term exercise can achieve the effect of relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians and activating collaterals. So what basic skills should Tai Ji Chuan learn first?
What are the basic skills of learning from Tai Ji Chuan? What are the basic skills of Tai Ji Chuan's practice? First, the basic skill of swinging back and forth is to draw the power from the forearm, through the abdomen (sword-shaped point), to the palm, then pass the fist through the fingers, put the fist into the palm, and then attack with the palm. At the same time, you will sink into the abdomen and use firm but gentle as strength. Whether it is a hand swing or a head swing, it should be displayed as a sword-shaped point, which is used in conjunction with the qi and blood in the body and the hand punch when exerting force.
This is Tai Ji Chuan's first forward swing basic skill. Tai Chi Chuan's second forward swing can also be simply imagined as a fist strike with the forefoot, while the image of the hand can be imagined as one-on-one hit.
In this forward swing exercise, it should be noted that the front finger of the hand cannot be completely straight and the forearm cannot be bent at the same time. The palm can't be buckled inside, but the center of the fist acts on the fist. Keep your forearm straight.
Basic Exercise 2: Body Balance If you have already done basic training in boxing, you can also carry out training such as body balance and boxing back and forth. This set of combination boxing is the most basic set of movements in boxing practice. The purpose is to exercise the muscle strength of the forearm, instead of using the palm of your hand.
When practicing one step, the wrist should be straight, the fingers should be curled and unyielding, the nails should be in the center of the palm, and the palm should be waved forward. As long as you master Tai Ji Chuan's skills, you can practice the following steps. After you have a good balance, do this step well, and you can fight Tai Ji Chuan.
It is not only required to practice body balance with forward swing, but also to practice body balance with backward swing and to practice body stability with forward swing and backward swing. Tai Ji Chuan is a physical and mental coordinated exercise, which can fully stimulate the color inside the human body, stimulate the internal potential of the human body, exercise the reaction ability of the human body, and make the human body healthy. It is a sport that is beneficial to people's health and physical fitness.
Moreover, practicing Tai Ji Chuan is not only playing the role of martial arts, but also improving people's psychological quality, making people feel peaceful and healthy. It is a very comprehensive sport. My last heart is to answer such a question. I haven't studied Tai Ji Chuan for several years. You can also understand three-step boxing, four-step boxing and thirty-six strength. Just like those who practice qigong and keep fit, they are all real things, but many people don't understand them. Tai Ji Chuan is talking about balance. Send a child to cooperate with Yin and Yang. A yin spot on your hand is to send your body to a yang spot.
What are the basic skills of learning from Tai Ji Chuan? First, practice basic skills.
(1) Gas production: 1, gas-holding permeable body; 2. Pull air into the body; 3. He Qitian; Step 4 lift gas to dantian
(2) Support piles, turn abdomen and sit still
(3) Basic winding method: 1, forward winding; 2, wear a palm wrapped in silk; 3. Side winding; 4. Step horizontally; 5. Advance; 6. Take a step back; 7. Independent steps; 8. Suu.
Second, routines
Practicing basic skills is like building a building and laying a foundation. The upper part of the foundation is built according to the framework of the foundation.
When you fully understand the strength of the routine and truly reflect the lightness and roundness, you can increase the number of routine exercises, practice equipment, shake the stick and push hands or even spread your hands.
Third, the basic skill of winding silk is the basis of practicing Tai Ji Chuan well.
The basic skill of winding refers to Tai Ji Chuan's simplex exercise, which is one of Tai Ji Chuan's basic skills.
Tai Ji Chuan's basic skills include gas production, piling and a set of basic winding techniques.
Chen Taijichuan's traditional training method is single style and single style training. If this single style training is not good, you can't practice the next single style and then practice the routine. Today's authentic Tai Ji Chuan is still based on standing piles and simple training. As long as the problem in this simple training is solved, the problems in the routine will be solved.
In today's society, people who practice Tai Ji Chuan rarely practice Simplex, or just practice Simplex as a vigorous movement, and few people practice basic skills and only routines; Even many people don't know that Tai Ji Chuan has basic skills. However, everything in the world develops from primary to advanced step by step, and nothing and anyone can surpass it. The basic thing is the most fundamental thing, no matter anything or martial arts boxing.
Tai Ji Chuan's understanding process is meticulous, and both boxing and pushing exercises are indispensable, but the first thing is to practice basic skills. It is necessary to thoroughly understand the movement law of "its root is in the foot, its root is in the leg, its main body is in the waist, and its shape is in the finger" and the winding force of silk; Feet should have the feeling of pedaling, body should have the feeling of continuous and spiral arc, and the feeling of inner strength should be transmitted from bottom to top, and it should not be vague at all.
As the saying goes: "waist, hips and knees, engine." Can you feel it? It seems simple to collect gas and erect piles, but it is not easy to stand well. The relationship between basic skills and routines is like being a limousine, which is characterized by high speed, low noise and comfortable ride. How did it come into being? Then there must be precision, high-grade parts and first-class production lines. It is impossible to produce high-quality brand-name cars because of inaccurate processing of parts and low quality of materials.
When you have a foundation, the problems in the routine can be refined, and pushing hands can eliminate falsehood. We can increase the intensity of practice, practice equipment, practice gun hammer (the second way), shake the big pole, and your kung fu will flourish and climb the highest peak of Tai Chi.
Everything has to go through a process from simple to complex, and Tai Ji Chuan should practice step by step, layer by layer. Without a solid foundation and constant quantity every day, there will be no leap in correct quality. This is the natural law of the development of things, and we must follow this law.
A high-rise building rises from the ground, and laying a good foundation is the premise;
If you want to practice Tai Chi well, winding silk is the most effective.
Fourthly, Tai Ji Chuan's psychological (ideological) requirements can be summarized as "five-character formula", including five aspects: static, light, slow, accurate and constant.
Jing: Your thoughts should be highly concentrated and there should be no distractions. However, people's thinking is complex, and it is really not easy to make the central nervous system highly concentrated and in a single excited state. So, how can we concentrate? The easiest way is to focus on how to make your actions as correct as possible. In other words, it is easier to produce results if the movement is small and appropriate. Over time, you can gradually understand the strength from familiarity, from strength to the realm of God.
Light: The "light" in Taiji is not simply explained without hard work. Light is relative to heavy. In the Taiji Classic, it is said that "the left weight is the left deficiency, and the right weight is the right deficiency". First, the "explosive power" can't be light, and second, it is taboo. Lightness can also be interpreted as "softness". "Extremely soft and then extremely firm" means that light is flexible, and light is not slack. Relaxation and explosiveness are taboos in Tai Ji Chuan.
Light is powerful, so it is Tai Chi to say that "it seems to be loose but not loose". Tai Ji Chuan's movements, hands, eyes, posture and footwork are all between strong and weak, showing a developing trend, and it is necessary to distinguish between reality and excess, thus forming "Tai Chi strength". Knowing this strength is the advanced stage of practicing Tai Ji Chuan. Only in long-term exercise can you learn from your heart. Slow: Practice Tai Ji Chuan slowly, but don't stop. Slow is relatively fast, and the principle of slow is to require "continuity" and cannot be broken.
The Taiji classic says: "Urgent is urgent, and slow is slow." Therefore, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, it is required to meet the street before and after the action. The so-called "there must be folding in reciprocating motion, and there must be conversion in advance and retreat", so that the whole set of actions is continuous and there can be no deliberate delay between actions. Generally speaking, a set of boxing should be controlled between 25 and 50 minutes. Well-trained people play a complete set of boxing every time, and the time is basically the same, which is the concrete manifestation of deep kung fu.
Cut: It means seriously. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, you need to work hard. Don't drive too fast. No matter which action you take, you must be accurate. Distinguish between reality and reality, avoid movements, and stand upright and comfortable. Walk like a cat and move like a silk scroll. Another meaning of cutting is learning, not learning when practicing boxing, but remembering what kind of boxing is wrong after practicing and correcting it when practicing later. This is the work of cutting, exploring, cutting and polishing, and efforts will make rapid progress.
Constant: It means "timing" and "quantization". The first is perseverance, which can't be interrupted regardless of the cold and heat; Secondly, it is quantitative. According to each person's physique and time, the corresponding time and amount of exercise are formulated. Time, geography, action and quantity all need to be gradually strengthened in order to gradually improve the level.
In short, the requirements of quietness, lightness, slowness, tangency and constancy are mutually restrictive and complementary. When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we can only coexist, and we can't neglect it.
What basic skills should I learn first to learn from Tai Ji Chuan? 3. First, we should learn from simple routines. For example, Formula 24 simplifies Tai Ji Chuan. Less action, short time (4-5 minutes) and comprehensive formula. At that time, when some famous artists in China compiled this routine, they also considered that its movements were in line with people's sports physiology, which could not only get exercise, but also cause sports injuries. Then learn some more complicated routines.
Then don't rush to practice equipment, practice four or five sets of boxing first. With a solid foundation, it will be easier to practice swords, guns and sticks. You should take it step by step, don't worry.
Then there is the right way. Buy some teaching CDs and books to read. It will be faster to find a teacher who thinks he is good at practicing. Watch more, watch discs or teachers practice, and pay attention to the movement state, trajectory and starting position of hands, feet and body. The most important thing is to practice more. Practice, practice, practice more. As the saying goes, "never leave your hand" is the truth. It used to be said that "Tai Chi will not go out for ten years" is to ask people to practice patiently, so Wushu is also called "Kung Fu".
But now I have been practicing for less than ten years. Master is much more open now, unlike before, when he was afraid that his apprentice would rob him of his job. Besides, there are so many books. Buy a CD and he will practice it for you several times if you ask him to. Very convenient. Learn some basic skills when you learn boxing. Such as leg press, kicking, squatting and other basic skills to stretch ligaments and increase waist and leg strength. There is a saying that "you don't practice boxing, you are sloppy." .
When learning boxing, you must learn to protect yourself seriously. Work preparation before practice; Pay attention to tidy up and relax activities after practice; Don't kick too hard, so as not to strain the ligament; In boxing practice, pay attention to the direction of knee bending as much as possible in line with the direction of toes, and pay attention to the fact that knee bending cannot exceed toes.
There are also some protective measures that you can learn from when doing other sports. In short, it should be clear that the purpose of practicing boxing is to keep fit, rather than let yourself be entangled in injuries again.
You must persevere. Many people give up halfway through practice, either they don't want to practice or they want to be lazy. But it's not easy to take it after a long time. Keep practicing, practice more when you have time, and don't have time to think about one or two moves.
In the process of learning boxing, we should continue to learn some Taiji theories in combination. Understand the usage of boxing and the sense of attack and defense, and the movements will be correct and beautiful. And the more you practice, the greater your interest. Ten Essentials of Taiji written by Yang Chengfu, the founder of Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan, is familiar to most people who practice Tai Ji Chuan.
It is easy to remember and comprehensive, and it talks about the essentials that he must master and be familiar with, including the essentials that he must understand, such as standing at attention, following up and down, and continuing.
There are various formulations of Tai Ji Chuan's main points. I realize that the key requirements are four words, which require attention at the same time. There is an order from shallow to deep, that is, positive, round, soft and loose. Is the foundation; Round and lively is the main point; Relaxation is not only a state, but also an idea, which is something that practitioners need to pursue all the time.
"Righteousness" means uprightness, and the ten essentials of Tai Chi, such as holding out the chest and back, abdomen and abdomen, all contain this meaning.
"Circle" means that in boxing, the trajectory of each gesture must be round, not straight. So some people say that Tai Ji Chuan is a circular movement. Sometimes I see some old boxers make a fist, and the lines don't seem to be round. If you look closely, they are actually spinning.
On the basis of solid and familiar movements, this "circle" is getting smaller and smaller. From unfamiliarity to proficiency, from excircle to pronation, there is a long training process. It wasn't built in a day, and beginners must go around honestly.
"Live" means to be flexible, not rigid. The head should be empty, the waist and buttocks should be loose, and the hands and feet should be dexterous. A stiff affects the whole body.
"Relaxation" requires total relaxation. This relaxation is carried out under the control of consciousness, and it is by no means lax and weak. Pine is not only the key point that beginners should pay attention to, but also the extremely high level of practicing Tai Ji Chuan. Many masters have practiced their boxing to perfection, and they don't forget to ask for relaxation from time to time.
