What are the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan?

What are the benefits of learning from Tai Ji Chuan \ x0d \ x0d \ 1) Physiological benefits: \ x0d \ x0d \ Tai Ji Chuan combined the traditional methods of guidance and breathing, and paid attention to the close cooperation between physical training, qi training and psychological training. On the one hand, it can exercise muscles, relax muscles and activate muscles; On the other hand, through the coordination of breathing and exercise, the internal organs can be massaged and forged, thus achieving the function of strengthening the body. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefits 1: Increase the sensitivity of the nervous system-it is necessary to "calm down" when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, but the cerebral cortex must rest (calm down) when practicing boxing, and entrust the task of coordinating the functions of internal and external organs of the whole body to the central nervous system (calm down), which strengthens the sensitivity of the nervous system. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 2: Smooth channels and collaterals, blood vessels, lymph and circulatory system-because the time for practicing Tai Ji Chuan will not be too short, it can make blood gas run smoothly like ordinary aerobic exercise. After practicing for a certain period of time, you will feel numbness in your fingertips, slight joint murmur, acupuncture, abdominal sound and so on. According to China's medical theory, it is considered that this is a reaction to the patency of meridians. By bending knees and twisting, squeezing and relaxing arterial blood vessels can accelerate blood circulation, increase oxygen supply, promote the metabolism of lymphatic system and enhance personal resistance. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 3: Benefit 3: Improve flexibility, muscle strength and muscle endurance-Tai Ji Chuan mostly walks slowly in circles and arcs, mainly with leg bending and semi-squatting, and the center of gravity changes alternately, so that the muscle strength and muscle endurance of each muscle are improved; The flexibility of each joint can be improved by multi-directional and large-scale activities such as the following formula and kicking. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 4: Improve cardiopulmonary function —— To practice Tai Ji Chuan, you should keep breathing naturally and smoothly, and increase the chest volume through deep, long, thin, slow and even abdominal breathing, increase the times of oxygen inhalation and carbon breathing, ensure the full exchange of gas, and relatively improve the oxygen utilization rate of various organs. Because it takes a long time to practice Tai Ji Chuan (it takes more than 20 minutes to play Tai Ji Chuan 24 times in a row), these aerobic activities can train and improve the cardiopulmonary function. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 5: Treat chronic digestive diseases-because all joints, muscles and bones will pull, entangle, squeeze and relax each other during boxing practice, and internal organs will also massage themselves due to abdominal breathing (abdominal fullness and chest fullness); In addition, the increase of diaphragm fluctuation has a positive stimulating effect on intestinal peristalsis; However, when practicing boxing, the tip of the tongue, upper jaw, lips and teeth can increase saliva secretion and improve digestive function. \ x0d \ x0d \ In short, many scientific researches in China and the West have proved that studying Tai Ji Chuan for many years has certain medical effects on various chronic diseases, such as neurasthenia, hypertension, heart disease, dyspepsia, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. This is an inescapable fact! \ x0d \ x0d \ ii) Spiritual benefits: \ x0d \ x0d \ Benefits 1: Relieve stress-when practicing boxing, you should be "calm and have no distractions", relax your body and concentrate only on "meaning". In addition, Tai Ji Chuan's own requirement of combining rigidity with flexibility and coordinated breathing makes the oxygen acquisition of various organs relatively improved. After practicing boxing, the blood gas circulation is flourishing, the spirit is full, and the work efficiency is naturally improved. Undoubtedly, this will be of positive help to Hong Kong people who are efficiency-oriented, nervous and stressed. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 2: Understand and experience the philosophy of harmony between Yin and Yang (Zhao Zhou and1996)-Taiji preach advocates harmony between body and mind, and it is difficult to be strong, compatible with both inside and outside, and clear between reality and reality. As the saying goes, "Static touches motion, and static is still static". This philosophy, which emphasizes understanding the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, is the basis of the creative spiritual philosophy in Taiji Zhuan. \x0d\\x0d\ Benefit 3: Understand the moral concept of prisoners-Taiji preaches the theory of "sacrificing oneself and obeying others", which shows the unique martial spirit of Taiji preaching "People don't attack me, I don't commit crimes". Tai Chi advocates hard work, winning the big with small, and all counterattacks are purely in line with the opponent's momentum, enhanced with dexterous movements and less strength, so that the attacker loses accuracy and loses. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan's real power can only be exerted if it is intentionally violated, and its ultimate goal is just "invincible", with no intention of hurting the other side! \ x0d \ x0d \ Benefit 4: Know how to cultivate one's morality-when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we should stress "calmness", which is our best motto in the world. By practicing Tai Ji Chuan, students can realize the shortcoming of being an upright person: it is not appropriate to work all day. As long as you are "upright", don't take crooked ways and be impartial, you can feel "comfortable"; On weekdays, as long as you learn to be "calm" and put aside the burden of life pressure, you can feel the feeling of "physical relaxation"! \x0d\ There is no age limit for studying in Tai Ji Chuan, which is suitable for all ages.
