How is the internal force of taijiquan practiced?

To practice taijiquan kung fu must be practiced traditional taijiquan, you must worship the master to learn, taijiquan internal strength of the mind, to put it bluntly is the intention to guide the movement of the requirements, all these things are to be taught by the master, simplified taijiquan does not have these things, so simplified taijiquan can not be practiced taijiquan kung fu.

Explaining taijiquan is not difficult, in life, some more than one situation is related to taijiquan, that is to say, taijiquan from the life, only did not attract people's attention.

For example

1, in the movie or life, a door from the inside inserted, outside the person can not enter, the hands of the hard to push and hit the door, no matter how hard it is not pushed, and then, with the shoulder hit, can be hit open.

This shows that when people use the force of their arms, they do not add the whole force of their bodies, and the force of their arms is disconnected from the force of their bodies.

And then, in using both hands to push the door with force, the state of force of the arm will change, that is, the hand pushed to the door, with the body forward, the arm is easy to bend and hit the soft, that is, the body's force can not be transmitted through the arm to the hand.

Taijiquan requires the practice of the arm's relaxation and sinking power, that is, the practice of the arm's shedding power (or known as the bracing power), in order to the body's force, the arm can not be soft, so that the body's force can be transmitted to the palm of the hand through the arm, which is the practice of the purpose of the loose shoulders and chasing elbows.

2, the average person has used a shovel to shovel soil (or use a wooden pole to pick a distant object), when shoveling a spade a lot of soil, with the arms of the shovel can not be up, will naturally put the shovel handle down to the waist, and then legs slightly squatting, slightly bending over, both hands grip the shovel handle, and then with the power of the waist and legs, can be shoveled up the shovel of soil.

In fact, this phenomenon is related to the whole force of taijiquan, to practice the waist and legs and arm force of the joint force, in the future, kung fu practice to a certain extent, in the practice of boxing as long as the movement, to reflect the body of this joint force.

3, if, like a soldier, you stand upright, and the body hard, hard upright, you will feel that the foot to the ground on the ground to reduce the force. If, however, you stand and chat casually with your friends for a long time, you will feel pain in your heels.

This means that when you step hard on the ground, the reaction force of the earth is reduced (so, the average person punching, can not be fully realized the reaction force of the earth, that is, not enough foot stomping power). When not hard standing, the reaction force of the earth is increasing, so you will feel the heel pain, the earth has not changed, it is the person's state has changed, the effect will be different.

This has to do with the fact that the force of Taijiquan is generated in the heel, through constant relaxation, the reaction force of the earth is increased, and the reaction force of the earth is always reflected in the punches and palms, which is the force generated in the heel.

The above example is just a superficial statement of the principle of Taijiquan, to achieve a shallow understanding of Taijiquan, when practiced to a certain extent, the feet of a force, so that the body to increase the reaction force of the earth, and promote the waist and legs, and then promote the arm of the bracing force, which makes the reaction force of the earth directly to the palm, the force is very fierce.

Taijiquan must be practiced to learn, in fact, is to learn dance, gymnastics, etc. to have a coach, not to mention the profound taijiquan, some things can not be expressed in words, so it is necessary to teach by word and example, as well as, practiced to a period of time, there will be some feelings, but also words can not be expressed, and then, in this period of time, the feeling is right, then Mo, in the next period of time, and then there is the feeling is wrong, that is, practicing Taijiquan. Feeling is wrong, that is, the stage of practicing different degrees, feeling is also different, the next stage should be the previous stage of the feeling of overthrow, in order to achieve a step by step in-depth growth of kung fu.
