Learning Taiji Sword

When it comes to swords, I often think of a foreign movie "The Three Musketeers" that I saw when I was a child. Although the time has changed and I can't remember the storyline of the movie, the scenes of the swordsmen fighting with swords still come to mind. In the traditional Peking Opera play "Farewell My Concubine", the king of Chu, who is faced with Chu's enemies on all sides, the king's concubine, Yu Ji, dances with two swords to alleviate his sadness and relieve his boredom. The sword is not only a weapon, but also can be used to express emotions.

I became interested in the sword, or this time to learn Yang's 42-style Taiji sword. The long body of the sword shines with a silver-white light, the hand guard with a tiger's head in the shape of a treasure gives a kind of deterrence, and the red spike looks red-hot and festive.

The 42-style Taiji sword*** has 42 movements, 22 kinds of sword techniques, 3 kinds of leg techniques and 3 kinds of power movements. It is characterized by "soft and slow, round and coherent, clear distinction between reality and emptiness, light and calm, and in the technique, it pays attention to softness to overcome rigidity, pedantry to be straight, give up oneself to others, and the latter to be the first to come." The movements of Taiji sword are very beautiful, for example: the movements of lifting the leg to split the sword and lifting the knee to lift the sword have a kind of sculpture beauty; the movements of bow-step avalanche sword, bow-step downward thrust, horse stance to push the sword show the valor; the movements of splitting the foot to move backward to the sword and stomping the foot to set up the sword have a spacious and atmospheric movement. If you can truly realize "to carry the sword with the body, the sword and the spirit of unity", then it is not a day's cold.

In the classroom, more than 40 students in the Liu Chang'e teacher's teaching, practice, only to see the sword body dance, sword spike flying, the scene is very spectacular.

Liu teacher patience and meticulous, tireless demonstration, hand in hand teaching, and from time to time to give encouragement, a "very good!" "Not bad!" Give students encouragement and confidence. In the chopping, pointing, picking, stabbing action, let a person feel a kind of momentum, students are learning more and more interested. Many students study hard and seriously, we are resting, but still practicing over and over again to figure out; there are also older sister, despite the old age, insist on learning the sword. An elder sister said to me, "When I come here to learn sword, I have no more worries. Taiji sword is a good way to exercise your body and cultivate your temperament.

I have never learned the primary sword, once I learned to sign up to learn 42-style Taiji sword, the difficulty is not small, the heart apprehensive, keep up with it? I hold the sword in the wrong way, either hold on or hold down, the teacher patiently explained, hold down no power, hold on the blade will hurt their hands, and pointed out: hold the sword that is to be firm, but also to be flexible. So he held my hand and taught me how to hold the sword. I was able to learn how to hold the sword much more smoothly according to the teacher's explanation. In order to keep up with the progress, I paid full attention in class and studied seriously; after class, I searched for the video of 42-style Taiji sword on the Internet and watched it carefully and imitated it. From the beginning of the school year to the present did not pull a lesson, that day, the north wind howling, snow, but also did not stop me to learn the sword in class footsteps.

There is still a lesson 42 style taiji sword will be finished, the next teacher to the end of each action from the beginning to the fine key, try to let the students learn and do action standardized. Thanks to the teacher's good teaching, this semester's learning is very rewarding and enjoyable.
