How to practice Tai Ji Chuan's relaxation and strength?

Tai Chi relaxation methods are as follows:

First, you are not allowed to end your shoulders when doing actions, that is, when you stand naturally when doing actions, your shoulders remain highly relaxed.

Second, the action is slow, the strength is like a spin, although it is static. Only slowly can you check the state of your shoulders and arms at any time (no force is allowed).

Third, in addition to the special requirements of movements, in general, the height of the elbow must be lower than that of the wrist (lifting the arm with the wrist is like hanging the wrist with a rope, the elbow and shoulder fall, but then go up).

Fourth, the relaxation of waist and buttocks must be based on steady progress. The upper body is naturally tall and straight.

5. When doing the action, slowly realize the best "relaxation point". For example, when doing the "fixed mode" of movement, the upper body movement remains motionless, and the waist and crotch can be rotated left and right to find out where the waist is not strong, where the waist is not awkward, and where it is the most natural and comfortable. Find this point and do it directly in the future.

Six, the knee is not allowed to straighten under any circumstances, but also to relax.

Seven, the arm is not hard for a long time, and the natural weight of the arm will make the arm have a sense of weight falling. With this sense of weight, it is the feeling of arm looseness. This feeling of arm slack is arm slack.

Eight, relax and practice strength, and other strengths will naturally come out.

The power to relax and sink is gradually practiced, and personal experience is practiced from top to bottom. Practice loosening your shoulders and elbows first, keep them loose, and then practice loosening your waist.
