? The force is contained in the internal not yet issued Taijiquan strength of the discussion

Introduction: created a lot of myths, it allows many patients to get healthy. Why is it so beneficial? How exactly does it work?

Exploration of Taijiquan strength

First, what is strength

In the traditional taijiquan theory on the strength of the exposition: (1) Wang Zongyue "" "by the writing of the familiar and gradually understand understand the strength, by the strength of understanding the steps and the gods. " "Yin and yang are in harmony with each other, so as to understand the strength." (2) Wu Yuxiang's "Thirteen Forms" "Its root is in the feet, originates in the legs, is dominated by the waist, and is shaped in the fingers." Taijiquan Explanations, "Transporting energy is like drawing silk, storing energy is like opening a bow, and releasing energy is like releasing an arrow." (3) Li Yiyu's "Five Character Recipes": "There should be a root for the force, the force starts from the heel, the main force is in the waist, the fingers are formed, and the force is sent to the back." The above explanation seems to be clear and not clear.

By the study of muscle mechanics proved that the force of the human body is generated by muscle contraction, which pulls the bones acting on the ground, the ground to the human body to the reaction force, under the action of the reaction force, the human body produced. The human body at the time also got the kinetic energy, in taijiquan, this "energy" through the transfer of limbs and act on each other, so that the other side of the loss of balance, resulting in movement, or elastic deformation, this phenomenon in taijiquan movement is called the force, when the force is embedded in the internal and not yet sent is called the power.

According to my personal feeling, the strength of taijiquan is a kind of body parts coordinated very well when it produces a kind of can close, can release, can change the overall force, it is the body in the relaxation of soft to a certain extent when the overall force. Without relaxation, the body cannot be coordinated to the best state, and the force cannot be generated well. Therefore, the word "whole" and "loose" is the essence and essence of the power.

Second, the types of strength

Tai Chi Chuan spectrum of human strength, there are Ming Jin, dark Jin, the power of the three said; there are just, soft two said; there are innate force, after the force said and so on. Some people even say that there are dozens of kinds of strength. These from the usage of the description is very mysterious, so it is difficult to find the feeling.

The form of power is determined by the way the energy is transferred, and it is known from general physics that in nature, there are two forms of energy transfer - direct transfer and wave transfer. By sports anatomy, the upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs of the human body are connected by the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints respectively. To pass directly, the corresponding joints must be fixed to form a whole. To transfer in waves, the joints must be relaxed, and the force is transferred forward from the source of strength in turn.

The direct transmission of force is called "direct transmission" because it is exposed. The force that is directly transmitted is called external force because it is exposed and acts directly on the other side. The force transmitted in waves is called internal force because it is hidden in the body.

Third, the characteristics of the force

The internal and external force have their own characteristics, the characteristics of the external force is characterized as one-way, that is, from the starting point of the force to the end of the point in a straight line, like shooting arrows, the other side of the external force for the feeling of the hard.... Although it is possible to produce similar circular and spiral motions by turning the body and rotating the arms, this only changes the direction of the force with the joints, and the nature of the force remains unchanged - unidirectionality. Like a car traveling on a straight road and on a curved road only. Although the external force can go to the other side, but its direct effect on the other side to make their intentions clear to the other side, because of the unidirectionality of the external force so that they are easy to lose themselves in the attack on the other side, and deviate from the center of the other side of the borrowed force. Because of the hardness of the external force, it can only act on the exterior and be hindered by the exterior, it is difficult to penetrate into the center of the opponent, and can only influence the opponent outside the opponent's circle. By the same token, the opponent's incoming force is difficult to be absorbed by the external force because of the muscle force.

The start of the internal force to the abdomen (dantian) as the core, from the inside and outside, layer by layer drumming release *** wave type transmission. The inner strength is characterized by spreading from the core to the surroundings, just like the shock of an earthquake spreading to the surroundings, and just like the ripples of a stone splashing to the surroundings. Because of the softness of the inner strength, the soft appearance of the inner strength is like a barrier to hide the center and the source of the strength, so that the other party does not know what it means, and when the other party's external force is applied to me, the outermost point of the force is elastic to buffer part of the force, and then decreases layer by layer until the external force is applied, so that the other party's intention of sending out the strength to control me will be frustrated. On the contrary, their own loose appearance will be the force penetrated into the body of the other side, affecting the center of the other side, so that the conversion of the other side involuntarily lost their center of gravity, that is, the introduction of the fall, the other side only feel sucked up, the internal force of the Gang from the core to the surrounding drumming, so that they can support the eight sides of the center, at the same time, the other side can not feel the force point, only feel bounced out.

Four, the use of power

Let's take a look at some of the phenomena in our daily lives.

(1) When pouring water, we sometimes mistake an empty bottle for a bottle full of water and lift it high. This is because the force used to lift the full bottle of water is used to lift the empty bottle of boiled water.

(2) In a tug-of-war between two people, when one person lets go of the rope, the other falls. This is because the force that maintains the balance of the person is gone.

(3) When a person walks and slips accidentally, he will subconsciously tighten his whole body. Because the center of gravity of his body is affected.

Thinking from the perspective of taijiquan, the first example can be seen: the empty can borrow force; the second example can be seen: the force that maintains the balance at the same time affects the balance; the third example can be seen: the human body's center of gravity is affected by the body's instinctive strength (this kind of strength is the most exposed, the most rigid, and the most easy to be controlled). From the characteristics of Taijiquan's strength, it can be seen that external strength stabilizes the body by fixing the joints; internal strength stabilizes the body by loosening and sinking. The external force is used to rotate the torso and upper limbs in the periphery of the body for arc movement; the internal force is used to spread around the body through the dantian for drumming movement. The external energy goes away to the opponent through rotation; the internal energy absorbs and releases the opponent through oscillation. Therefore, only the combination of internal and external forces can skillfully utilize these laws to give power to the other side to maintain balance by my force, and then to affect the balance of the other side; as far as possible to affect the other side of the center of gravity, so that their instinctive response to leverage the strength of the fight.

Fifth, the training of strength

1, boxing sense of training

Taijiquan movement is a different kind of unusual, to the body, limbs as the main movement of the self. Inside talk about intention, gas, force together, outside talk about loose whole, natural, movement practice process with intention not force, slow and even and other characteristics. There are two main ways to experience the feeling of Taijiquan movement.

One is to find the feeling from the looseness of movement.

Looseness is not a part of the body, but the whole. Beginners can use some basic movements to practice looseness on all parts of the body, so that all parts of the body can get the feeling of looseness in the process of movement.

Secondly, in the "slow and even" movement to experience the "silk" and "resistance" feeling.

Through the practice of slow and even movements of the various parts of the body, the experience of the movement of the force of the continuous "silk" and the body in the air by the "resistance" feeling, so that the brain to store the "feeling" information, and then, the brain to store the "feeling" information, and then, the brain to store the "feeling" information, and then the "feeling" information. The "feeling" information is stored in the brain, which then directs the various parts of the body to make slow and even movements with this feeling.

2, muscle relaxation training

Muscle relaxation, should be under the domination of the brain to achieve. First of all, we should exclude the stiffness, relaxation exercises. Whether it is relaxation, or tightening exercises, we should pursue a "pole" word.

Relaxation from the spirit to the body, tightening is the same. Relaxation should maximize the elongation of bones, skin, and tendons, and tightening should increase the density of the skin. To pay attention to the relaxation of a longer time, tightening time should be short. To be in the stage of soft to just, draw the circle out of the square, soft relaxation just practice, with the reverse abdominal breathing, with the lower limb movement of the real change, the intention to guide for the first, the inside move catalyze the outside, away from the strings of the moment, the muscles tense, up and down to change the whole. Tighten the fast hair, and then loosened, so long practice, can increase the strength, but also economic force, can lead to the force, can get the opportunity to hit the hair, can achieve "move the urgent emergency, move slowly slow with" the kung fu.

3. Rotational training of the waist and crotch.

The rotation of the waist and crotch is the source of strength. Boxing theory: "waist for the master", "the source of life in the waist gap", "the main from the dome in the waist", "waist for the axle, gas as a wheel ". These theories emphasize the importance of the waist from different angles. The waist is the key to the up and down rotation of the body, which plays an important role in the whole body movement changes, adjusting the center of gravity of the stability and promote the strength of the four tips.

There are three kinds of practice requirements for the waist and crotch: to practice soft power to live waist, to play a rounded role, and to lead the law; to practice the power to twist the waist, to enhance the explosive force, to accelerate the role of the straight shot; to collapse the waist, to play a stabilizing effect of the lower limbs, the gas collected in the dantian.

4, the luck of the dantian training

Taijiquan is an internal fist, all lies in the work of the dantian, the dantian of the qi to start the body movement, in order to really practice good taijiquan.

The static guarding of the dantian, to be full of gas in the dantian after the full, that is, the natural breathing start, want to open the gas in the dantian to reach the whole body and limbs open, want to close the gas back to the dantian convergence of the bone marrow and limbs together. Open that is, release, close that is, close. Want to turn the circle, the dantian turn, gas also turn, start the body at the same time turn. So open and closed drumming, gathering and dispersing put, cycle flow, the more practice Dantian gas the more full, the more satisfied, full of body, stretching the skin, as if full of gas ball in general, in the rotation, in the rolling, but only the Dantian in the gulp breathing and internal rotation. The more adequate the dantian gas, the greater the surrounding qi and internal energy.

5. Overall strength training

Taijiquan techniques, attaches great importance to the role of the overall strength, the requirements of the "qi gathered".

The practice of taijiquan overall strength to comply with the rules: (1) want to go up, must be the first under the apartment; (2) want to go to the left, must be the first to go to the right; (3) the front to go, there must be a rear support; (4) up and down, right and left, phase suction phase system; (5) on the pull of the pull of the long, the curve of the straight. According to this practice, the overall strength will be able to produce.

In short, the generation of strength is not an overnight success, to. First seek a small goal, and then seek a big goal. To practice boxing, boxing proof of reason, repeatedly verified, constantly summarized, water to the drain.

Wu style Taiji knife

Wu style Taiji knife is by the Harbin Chengxiang Wushu Club, China's Wulin 100, Wu's Taijiquan, the fourth generation of Mr. Li Chengxiang, oral teaching, written by Li Ying summarized a set of traditional instrumentation routines. Its style is characterized by compactness, quietness, lightness, Chuan Yu step type, and the correctness in the corner.

1, lunge to push the knife

A: pick up on the move, the center of gravity shifted to the left leg, the right foot to the left in front of the upward step into the right virtual step, at the same time the right hand holds the knife forward and downward slanting cuts, the tip of the knife knee high, the left hand arc down to help the right wrist.

B: The upward movement does not stop, the right foot half a step forward into a heel landing, at the same time the right hand holding the knife to the upper right side of the avalanche.

C: step on the right leg, step forward with the left foot, heel on the ground first, support the left hand in front of the blade upwards, the right hand holding the knife is closed at the waist.

D: Shift the center of gravity forward into a left lunge, while the right hand holds the knife and pushes it out in front, and the left hand rests on the diagonal upper force of the left forehead.

Three-star opening and closing autonomy

1. Bow-step with hidden knife

A:Take the above movement, the left bow-step remains unchanged, the left foot with the heel as the axis of the toes, and the upper body is slightly turned to the right, at the same time the right hand with the knife with the turn of the body is set up in the left shoulder, and the left hand is holding the right wrist.

B: the upward movement without stopping, with the body to the right, the right toe outward, landing on the ground, the center of gravity shifted to the right leg, the left foot to the left side of the 45 degrees, into the right lunge; the right hand holds the knife after the draw, the left hand forward to push out the right lunge to hide the knife.

2. Knee Stab

A: Following the above movement, the center of gravity is shifted to the back, the left toes are spread out into a horse stance, and at the same time, the right hand holds the knife and stabs it flat to the right side. The left palm pushes out flat to the left.

B: Following the above movement, the center of gravity is shifted to the left leg, and the right knee is lifted, while the right hand lifts the knife and closes it in front of the chest, and the left hand holds the hilt of the knife.

C: The upward movement does not stop, the body maintains the right knee independent style, the right hand holds the knife to the right side of the flat stab, at the same time, the left palm on the left forehead diagonally above the shelf.

Taijiquan can be obvious

Chinese medicine believes that practicing taijiquan, can strengthen the kidney's hidden essence, preservation of the essence function, and can system. Therefore, by practicing taijiquan, not only can improve impotence, spermatorrhea, waist and leg weakness, but also can improve the symptoms of insomnia and dreaminess caused by deficiency of the body and kidney loss, which can be obvious.

Taijiquan practice, that is, "abdominal breathing", through the change of abdominal pressure, so that the thoracic volume increases, the negative pressure in the thoracic cavity increases, the upper and lower vena cava pressure decreases, and the blood reflux is accelerated. Due to the regular increase and decrease of the pressure in the abdominal cavity, the activities of the internal organs in the abdomen are strengthened, which improves the blood circulation of the digestive tract, promotes the function of the digestive tract and prevents constipation. Scientific research has shown that the periodic contraction and diastole of skeletal muscles throughout the body during tai chi can enhance blood circulation. What's more, due to the muscle movement, it can make the coronary artery reflex expansion, myocardial capillary opening increase, the supply of oxygen is sufficient, the myocardial nutrition is strengthened, the contraction function is improved, and at the same time, the whole body skin, muscle, viscera in the reserve capillary network expansion, resulting in a drop in blood pressure, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of nighttime emergencies.

Practicing taijiquan can adjust the functional activity of the nerves, so that the highly tense mental state is restored, and yin and yang are balanced. Therefore, by practicing boxing to nourish the spirit, it can treat, forgetfulness and insomnia, restlessness and other disorders.

It can be seen that practicing taijiquan before going to bed can be effective, but also to prevent and control a variety of, is the superior method of health care.

Conclusion : There are many older people practicing is one of the most obvious effect. Not only that. The elderly will also prevent falls oh!
