I. Requirements for the human body static technique

(1) Slanting in the right

Wu-style taijiquan body type requires slanting in the right. From the appearance, Wu-style Taijiquan has two lines, a positive line and a slanting line. Take the bow step as an example, the front leg is required to bow the knee, and the tip of the knee is right on the tip of the front foot, so that the center of gravity falls on the supporting foot, forming a vertical line from the top to the bottom; the back leg is straight, and the coccyx is right on the heel of the back foot, so that the back leg and the back form a slanting straight line.

(2) The virtual collar top strength

Wu-style Taijiquan calls the head the ? Fixed disk star? When practicing, no matter how the body moves, you should always keep the head in the center, the jaw naturally inward, and the strength is loose but not soft, straight but not stiff.

(3) Loosening the shoulders and dropping the elbows

Loosening the shoulders can give out more power. When loosening the shoulders, use your consciousness to guide the muscles of the shoulders to relax, feel the shoulders sinking and at the same time, stretch the shoulders to the sides, with the intention of pulling the shoulders apart. Dropping the elbow means that the tip of the elbow slightly drops down, feeling the two arms have the intention of extending. If the elbow does not drop it will make the movement sluggish and the force cannot be long, leaving the wounds unprotected.

(4) loose waist, hanging arm, wrapped crotch

Taijiquan movement changes by the waist and legs to transform the power, can loose waist is the center of gravity is stable, the movement is running light. Loose waist to achieve lumbar spine, lumbar ligaments and muscles on both sides of the full relaxation. The protruding buttocks will cause the waist to be unable to relax, so the buttocks should be consciously made to sag, so that no traces of protrusion can be seen in the body shape. Wrapping the crotch is to make both legs have the intention of wrapping inward, knee joints and toes on a plumb line, in order to achieve the purpose of crotch to be round, round is stable'.

(5) Chuan Zi Steps

Wu Style Taijiquan emphasizes the Chuan Zi Steps. Whether it is a bow step, a false step or an open step standing, no matter in which direction you are traveling, both feet are required to be close to parallel, with the toes facing the same direction.

Second, the dynamic requirements of the human body

(1) The body shape is calm and stable, and the importance of internal movement

Boxing scripture says, ? "Where does the body fit in? "The spirit of the ruler comes from the flesh and bones of the minister. Wu-style Taijiquan emphasizes the importance of The Wu Style Taijiquan emphasizes the use of intention rather than force. Wu style Taijiquan emphasizes the use of intention, not force, and pays close attention to the cultivation of internal intention and qi. In "Lecture Notes on Wu Style Taijiquan" written by Wu Gongzao, it is said that? "To move the mind with the heart, to move the qi with the mind, and to move the body with the qi", which means this kind of internal movement. This is the kind of internal movement. The internal movement guides the external movement, which is manifested in the external form of the body's relaxation, calmness and stability.

(2) Conversion of solid leg, section through

The conversion of center of gravity in Wu-style Taijiquan is obviously different from other Taijiquan schools. In order to achieve the purpose of natural lightness and stabilization of the center of gravity, it is to use the solid leg to send the weak leg, and then gradually change from weak to solid, and never make sudden changes or have the body's up and down ups and downs. When the center of gravity is changed, it is loosened first and then turned. Regardless of whether it is a step forward or backward, it is the waist first loose, so that the center of gravity of the solid leg is stabilized, in the virtual leg of the hips, knees, ankles, feet, joints section by section of the virtual loose, in a timely manner, forward or backward step.

Wu style Taijiquan requires the solid leg to rotate when turning, and the heel of the center of gravity is used as the fulcrum to rotate. When rotating, the waist is required to bring the hips, the hips to bring the legs, the legs to bring the knees, the knees to bring the ankles, the ankles to bring the feet, and the joints run through and through, and cannot be crossed, so that the appearance of each limb becomes a change in the trend of the section by section.

(3) Compactness of the frame, small circle and turn

Wu-style Taijiquan has a small range of movement, close coordination of limbs, and the pursuit of compactness of the frame, which looks light and calm. In the practice, emphasis is placed on the coordination and cooperation of the lower limbs, arm twisting and rotating, and waist rotation to cultivate the overall transforming power, and to practise the power of small circle turning. This kind of round-turning strength, such as a seesaw, like a wheel rolling, such as also known as? The "flip board" power.

The technique of small circle turn off is especially emphasized on the power to reach the tip of the end. Wu style taijiquan action in the limbs at the end, that is, the hands and feet in the process of movement, from the end of the traction and the formation of section through, pulling the long force.

Third, the requirements of the overall movement technique

Wu style Taijiquan emphasizes the combination of practicing mind, qi and body. Without the guidance of consciousness, it is impossible to practice the technique of small circle turning off. The content of consciousness is not other than the knowledge of Wu-Style Taijiquan technology, the knowledge of the body shape in the slant, the knowledge of the characteristics of the human body movement, the application of techniques and the requirements of each part, and the knowledge to guide the practice is the foundation of consciousness. With this foundation, it is also necessary to consciously experience the relationship between relaxation and sinking, the relationship between movement and static, the relationship between frame structure, the relationship between changes in power, and most importantly, to comprehensively understand the relationship between these techniques and apply them. When the guidance of consciousness accumulates to a certain degree, the body will undergo qualitative changes, making the movements powerful and powerful, thus showing the unique roundness of Wu Style Taijiquan.

Wu Style Taijiquan emphasizes on the exercise and nourishment of qi, which requires natural and smooth breathing. It requires natural and smooth breathing, which naturally develops into deep breathing, so that it can produce quietness in movement, nourish the mind in quietness, and perform qi with intention.

Wu Style Taijiquan emphasizes the combination of nourishment and practice, believing that nourishment is practice and practice is nourishment. The pursuit of nourishment to promote practice, nourishment and practice of dual cultivation. Therefore, Wu Style Taijiquan moves slowly, showing a gentle, tranquil and continuous movement.
