What are the basic skills of taijiquan

Taijiquan is a sport that originated in China, belongs to the world's excellent sports, and has a deep mass base and a long history of cultural origins in China. Below I have collected and organized the basic skills of taijiquan for you, I hope it will help you!

First, taijiquan basic notes and training steps

The method of practicing leg flexibility, first of all, "stretching", and then pressure, consumption, kicking, and other methods, in fact, it is important to be able to adhere to every day.

1, when practicing can wear cloth shoes or soft rubber bottom and no heel shoes, clothes to loose, Chinese system is most appropriate, sportswear can also be.

2, practice time and direction: morning is not toward the east, evening is not to the west, afternoon is not toward the south, never to the north. The best time to practice is in the morning and evening, and also in the afternoon. 5:00 to 7:00, 15:00 to 16:00, 21:00 to 22:00 is the best time to practice. If there are other circumstances, you can also make your own arrangements.

3, age and kung fu progress: adults, couple of years old and above, can not strengthen the intense, more need to persist for a long time. If you are 10 years old or above, it is a good time to practice basic skills, but you should pay attention to the way and method, and should not force yourself to do it gradually.

At this time is in the growth period, especially need to pay attention to do not make too hasty. This flexibility, women than men easy to become and fast results. Kung Fu progress should be based on self-stretching when the pain of the big and small grasp a good sense of proportion, remember "pain long, hemp pumping, acid don't practice".

Special tips to pay attention to the following two points

(1) the process of stretching needs endurance and continuity, not three days fish two days sunshine net. If you put aside 7 days without practicing stretching, the tendons stretched out in front of you will shrink back again, equal to no practice.

(2) stretching action "sudden and fierce" is dangerous, stretching progress must be in line with human physiological performance and scientific. I have seen many cases of over-exertion leading to lumbar and hamstring muscle tears fell disabled, so do not rush.

The steps of "stretching and depletion of the legs"

Generally, "stretching and depletion of the legs" is to use one leg to support the weight of the body, and the other leg is straight, with the heel resting on a certain height, and then through the upper body to bend down or the two hands downward pressure on the knee, stretching the ankle of the pressed leg, and the ankle of the pressed leg will be stretched out.

There is a better way. This method is to use the first step of the stairs, or with the help of the vertical surface of the curb, one leg squatting, the other leg straight will be stomped on the vertical surface of the heel, the heel of the sole of the foot to pay attention to do not leave the vertical surface, the body slowly stood up.

By leaning forward or touching the knee of the front leg with both hands, the ligaments of the pressed leg and the muscles of the waist and the back of the leg are elongated.

So the left and right legs repeatedly stretch and consume legs, each time each day the left and right legs should be stretched and consumed for 15 minutes. This stretching to the top, teenagers need a year, adults need two or three years. Tireless efforts to gradually achieve the purpose of improving the flexibility of the legs. In order to avoid muscle and ligament strains, never rush.

In the "stretching legs" before, to do a good job of preparatory activities, you can first run, do relaxation, and then start doing this homework.

4, kicking training

As the old saying goes: "boxing is not walking legs, must be a daredevil." To stretch first, and then walk the legs, also known as "kicking". "Kick" is also one of the contents of the basic skills of martial arts.

Whether it is a first-time practitioner of martial arts, or have a long years of martial arts, must insist on practicing. The content of the "walking leg" includes the front kick, oblique kick (cross leg), side kick, inside the leg, outside the leg, the leg, the back of the leg (inverted kick Zijin Guan), as well as a variety of other leg movement methods.

Lastly, you can engage in boxing and equipment set of activities, and at the same time, you should hold a happy and relaxed mood to engage in exercise, so as to achieve good results.

The basic skills of waist and legs are also a must for taijiquan

In order to improve the internal martial arts, it is necessary to work on stretching the tendons and pulling out the bones. The traditional boxing attack and defense way of the human body "appearance" the most basic requirements are "soft and boneless", only their own appearance to achieve "soft as boneless", in order to adapt to boxing attack and defense technology Only by achieving a "soft and boneless" appearance can we adapt to the laws of boxing when attacking and defending.

Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" says: "The bones are weak, the tendons are soft, and the grip is solid." "The world's most flexible, galloping the world's most firm." Only when one's own form reaches the "weak and boneless" realm of the softest art, can one have the "soft and curved" walk, can one achieve the straightness of the internal qi of the rigidity of the attack, and can one have the "viscous walking phase to phase, and the transformation of the fight to unity! It is only through this that we can achieve the "sticking and moving together, the unity of the fight" of the kung fu of the virtual spirit of the wonderful world.

The essence of traditional boxing is in this. Boxing proverbs say: "The form should be like water." In order to improve the art of boxing, especially the internal martial arts, we must work on stretching the tendons and pulling the bones.

Nowadays, people think that taijiquan has no waist and no legs, and there is no way to lay the foundation for the initial introduction, which is wrong.

Now learn to practice taijiquan people are taking a "shortcut" and do not want to work hard, beginners start to practice taijiquan sets, the instructor has not practiced the basic skills, students do not know what is the basic skills, and the result of the basic skills of Chinese wushu so lost clean.

The practitioners of taijiquan, at the beginning of the practice of boxing must first practice the flexibility of the waist and legs and horse stance, Chuanbu stance, stirrups, kicks, etc., so that the waist and legs are flexible, stable and strong, and then by, stroking, squeezing, and pressing a single style, practicing to the waist, body, legs, and feet in unison, forward, backward, dodging, lifting and lowering as you wish, and then practicing taijiquan techniques.

In fact, taijiquan moves to waist and legs for the initiative, without waist and legs, it is difficult to do the action natural and posture correct, rounded in place, shape and God, it is more difficult to understand the power.

For example, hair power, hand sticking to take just auxiliary, its active hub in the waist in the legs. Boxing scripture: a skillful break a thousand pounds. The same applies to the chemicalization of power. If you only use your hands to transform, it will be both laborious and slow, and you will not be able to use your waist and legs as dexterously as you would like to.

A boxing proverb says: "The root is in the feet, the legs, the waist, and the fingers". Nowadays there are many people who do not practise this art well, and it is important to realize that this is mostly due to the lack of focus on practising the waist and legs.

In the traditional taijiquan posture, there are only 6 kinds of legs that are clearly visible, namely, the left and right legs, kicks, stirrups, flying feet, single swing lotus leg and double swing lotus leg.

People who don't know think that taijiquan does not make good use of the legs, but they don't know that taijiquan style wherever the virtual step contains the legs, and the wonders of taijiquan are here, only after learning and practicing to a certain extent can they understand.
