Working people, mainly to strengthen the body defense, self-study, learn tai chi and wing chun which is better.

According to your situation, you can learn Taijiquan. Taijiquan is divided into Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, Wu five, of which Chen-style taijiquan and Yang-style taijiquan is the most widely spread, any school is from simple to difficult, if you are used to exercise, learning any one can; if you want to add the actual combat, you can learn Chen-style taijiquan, because Chen-style taijiquan combat than the other families better (I just see this point directly learn Chen-style taijiquan).

If self-study, self-study will appear soon after the action is not correct, action once you do wrong and form a habit will require several times the time to change over, and the video of the boxer will not be the core of the taijiquan video into the core of the beginner even if recorded into the core of the things that beginners do not understand there is no teacher in time to teach it will be very easy to practise the wrong into the wrong way, and the core of the taijiquan can only mean to know The core of taijiquan can only be understood in words. I was going through such a journey, and finally had to find a master to practice, so you'd better find a master to teach, and at the same time, read books, watch the video is the most appropriate.

You can start by practicing the basic Chen-style Taijiquan 18-steps taught by Chen Zhenglei, and then practice Chen Zhenglei's Laojia all the way, and then you have to decide when to start practicing depending on how basic you are.

The requirements for practicing taijiquan, although different for each school, cannot be separated from the following requirements:

Basic Methods

Taijiquan takes the basic methods of "shedding, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, holding, elbowing, leaning, advancing, retreating, looking, hoping, and fixing" as its basic methods. The action is slow and smooth, and requires that when practicing boxing, the waist, jaw, straight back, hanging between, there is a floating cloud of the mood. Boxers in the Qing Dynasty said, "Boxing is like the sea, flowing and unceasing". At the same time, Taijiquan also attaches great importance to the practice of qi, the so-called "qi" is to cultivate the human body's own spiritual power (I personally believe that this "qi" is formed by regulating the rhythm of breathing in the process of practicing boxing), which is one of the characteristics of Taijiquan as an internal martial art.

The essentials of practicing taijiquan

①quiet mind, breathing naturally, i.e., practicing taijiquan requires quiet concentration of the mind and concentration on guiding the movements, and breathing steadily, y, evenly and naturally, and should not be forced to hold one's breath;

②centralized and comfortable and soft and slow, i.e., the body should be kept loose and natural and impartial, and the movements are as gentle and even as water flowing through clouds and streams;

③movements should be in arcs and rounded, rounded and complete, i.e., movements should be in arcs and spirals.

③Arc of movement, round and complete, i.e., the movement should be in the form of an arc spiral, the conversion of round and live without stagnation, at the same time to the waist as the axis, up and down with each other, the body to form a whole;

④Coherent and coordinated, clear distinction between real and imaginary, i.e., the movement should be continuous, articulated and smooth, and everywhere to distinguish between real and imaginary, and the center of gravity to maintain a stable;

⑤Light and calm, just and soft, i.e., each movement should be light and calm, not floating, not rigid, outside the soft and rigid, and the hair force to be The power should be complete and elastic, and should not be used in a clumsy way.

Taijiquan requirements for the posture of various parts of the human body are as follows: head - to maintain the "virtual collar top strength", there is the idea of hanging, not crooked swing, the eyes should be natural and flat, the mouth should be lightly closed, tongue against the palate; neck - natural straight, flexible rotation, neck - natural vertical, turning, flexible. -Neck - naturally straight, flexible, not tense; shoulders - flat and loose, not shrugged, forward or backward; elbows - naturally bent and sunken, to prevent stiffness or upward; wrists - downward "collapse". -Sinking down "collapse wrist", strength focus, not flabby; Chest - loose and slightly contained, not outwardly or intentionally inwardly contracted; back - stretching and stretching, known as the Back - stretching, called "pulling the back", not bowing; waist - downward loose sinking, rotating and flexible, not bowing forward or backward; spine - neutral and upright, to keep the body shape upright and natural; hip --The hips are slightly converged inward, not protruding outward, known as "slippery hips" and "convergence of the hips"; the hips are loosely contained, so that the strength is directed to the lower limbs. The hips are loose and contained, so that the strength is concentrated in the lower limbs, and should not be crooked or forward; the legs are steady and solid, bent to the right degree, rotating gently, moving smoothly, the knees are loose and natural, and the palms of the feet are clearly distinguished from the real ones.

Functions

Taijiquan requires relaxation and quietness, which enables part of the cerebral cortex to enter a state of protective inhibition and rest. At the same time, boxing can be active mood, the brain plays a regulatory role, and the more skillful you are, the more you have to "first in the mind, after the body", concentrate on guiding the action. Such long-term persistence will restore and improve the brain function and eliminate various chronic diseases caused by nervous system disorders. Taijiquan requires "sinking of qi into the dantian", intentional use of abdominal breathing, increasing the depth of breathing, which is conducive to improving respiratory function and blood circulation. Through easy and gentle exercise, it can make the meridians and collaterals of old and weak people smooth, the metabolism is vigorous, and the physique and functions are strengthened. Taijiquan is unique and distinctive in its techniques. It calls for a static brake, softness and rigidity, avoiding the real, borrowing power, advocating that everything from the objective, with the people are living, by themselves is stagnant. For this reason, Taijiquan pays special attention to "listening to the power", that is, to accurately feel and judge the other party's momentum, in order to make a response. When the other party has not been launched before, they do not venture, can first be induced to move the other party, test its reality, the term is called "lead hand". Once the other party starts, one should quickly grab the front, "before he moves, he moves first", "after the first to", introduce the opponent to make him lose weight and fall into the air, or disperse and transfer the other party's strength, take advantage of the weakness and attack back with full force. This principle of taijiquan, embodied in the push hands training and set of movement essentials, not only can train people's reaction ability, strength and speed and other physical qualities, but also in the attack and defense combat training has a very important significance.

Playing taijiquan can make the body and mind healthy, strong external solid internal, help dredge the meridians, eliminate the heart of the depression, it is strong outside the bones and bones, internal adjustment of the spirit of the effective means.
