There are several ways of breathing in Tai Ji Chuan's exercise.

Playing Tai Ji Chuan requires a combination of breathing and movement. But according to different requirements, it can be divided into "natural breathing method", "adjusted breathing method" and "open and close breathing method". Generally speaking, learning can be divided into three stages: the first stage is "natural breathing method"; In the second stage, the method of "regulating breathing" was adopted; In the third stage, the "open and close breathing method" is used. The requirements and adaptation ranges of these three breathing methods are described as follows: You can also learn breathing methods by combining Tai Ji Chuan's breathing knowledge. First, natural breathing.

This method is simple and easy to operate, which is the basis of the latter two breathing methods. This method is not only used by beginners, but also suitable for the elderly and infirm who often beat Tai Ji Chuan and some patients with chronic diseases.

Second, regulate breathing.

Regulating breathing is a breathing method that changes from natural breathing to open and close breathing. It is required to learn and use the "opening and closing breathing method" when practicing boxing. If you find that breathing and exercise are not properly combined, causing some uncomfortable feelings, you can use the "natural breathing method" to adjust. Beginners can practice breathing in this way and improve the exercise effect after mastering routine movements skillfully.

Third, open and close breathing.

Opening and closing breathing requires that breathing and strength should be closely coordinated in boxing, so as to achieve constant momentum and smooth breathing. "Suction is the combination of storage, and breathing is the development". That is to say, inhaling air in the form of combination becomes energy storage; Breathe out as an opening and become energetic. Be light and flexible when doing Xu Li movements, and your strength should be subtle. As you inhale, your chest will expand and your shoulders and spleen will rise slightly. When doing strenuous exercise, you should be calm and energetic, and cooperate with exhalation to make your chest contract and your shoulder blades droop slightly.

"Opening and closing breathing" is the advanced stage of Tai Ji Chuan's breathing method. Require natural deep breathing, make the gas sink as much as possible, promote the decline of diaphragm, promote the movement of abdominal muscles, and coordinate breathing and movement, which can further improve the exercise effect. Because of high requirements, beginners and some patients with chronic diseases are generally not suitable.
