Taijiquan is not the slower the better

Introduction: In our minds, taijiquan is a slow movement, so is it practicing taijiquan is not the slower the better? Let's find out!

One of the characteristics of taijiquan is slow, but not the slower the better. When you first learn in order to make the structure of the frame clear, but also in the natural breathing stage, may wish to slow down a bit, each action process is done to the full. Along with the routine proficiency, basic skills have been correctly stereotyped, there should be a plan to practice fast and slow, that is, a period of time to practice faster, a period of time to practice slower, but each time to keep the movement speed is uniform, the same set of exercises can not be fast and slow.

The advantage of fast practice is that it can exercise a flexible, bright, dashing, easy style, while slow practice can improve the calm, solid, coordinated, internal strength and other aspects of the work. If you practice slowly for a long period of time, you are likely to miss out on stagnation; if you practice quickly for a long period of time, you are likely to miss out on frivolity, and you will have more than enough slip and slide, but not enough foundation for the gong frame. Both must be practiced appropriately in order to achieve a better technical state. But no matter how fast or slow, the speed must remain even, and the stance must be perfect.

The slower the better to practice taijiquan is relatively speaking. Slow should have a certain limit, this limit depends on the boxing breathing depth. The depth of breathing and the size of the individual lung capacity is also related to the lung capacity, breathing is deeper and longer, the movement can be correspondingly slower. The slowness of taijiquan movements should not exceed the depth of the breathing, and it is wrong to delay the completion of a movement for several breaths. It is wrong to deliberately delay the completion of the movement. In this way, the movement is extremely unnatural, and it will not be able to make progress in the work, and in the long run, it will inevitably flow into dullness and rigidity. Therefore, we can not generalize that the slower the better.
