How to master the essentials of breathing when practicing Yang Tai Ji Chuan?

When practicing Yang Tai Ji Chuan, how to master the essentials of breathing mainly considers the following points: \x0d\ 1, from simple to complex, step by step. You can use the simplest natural breathing at first, and don't think too much about breathing. Build a good boxing frame, practice boxing and practice kindness. On the basis of mastering "Italian boxing", you can transfer some thoughts to adjusting your breathing. Don't rush it. \x0d\2。 Deep, long, thin, slow and soft. Tai Ji Chuan's breathing in boxing is more peaceful, slow, even and deep than people's usual breathing, which makes his breathing gentle and continuous, and there is no phenomenon of holding one's breath, holding one's breath, holding one's breath down, forcing one's breath up and pushing one's breath hard. \x0d\3。 Abdominal breathing is smooth and natural. Tai Ji Chuan wants to use the "abdominal breathing" in boxing to restore the acquired chest breathing to the innate abdominal breathing. It is required that the abdomen bulge when inhaling and contract when exhaling. This is abdominal breathing. On the contrary, it is reverse abdominal breathing. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. In traditional Tai Ji Chuan, most schools advocate the use of anti-abdominal breathing, but anti-abdominal breathing is more difficult, which requires boxers to have a strong ability to lift the diaphragm of the chest and abdomen. You can practice first and then reverse. After a period of breathing training, I gradually got used to abdominal breathing in boxing, and then I became very skilled. I didn't need to control my own thoughts and became a natural way of breathing. \x0d\4。 Breathe with fists, breathe with yin, and breathe with yang. When boxing, the action of boxing potential is one yin and one yang as one potential, that is, an action change cycle; And human breath is a breath, that is, a breathing cycle. For healthy Tai Chi, the two cycles should be as consistent and synchronized as possible. In a boxing action cycle, the energy gathering stage belongs to yin, which is inhalation; In the stage of energy release, it belongs to yang and exhales. Boxing breathing needs the combination of breathing state and boxing posture change. From the perspective of health and fitness, the speed and rhythm of boxing practice should be adjusted according to the natural breathing speed of the human body, which is the principle of "breathing as action". When performing boxing, the coordination of movements and breathing is required to be very harmonious, so that suction yin can breathe out, breathe in and out, and start breathing in and out into one. \x0d\5。 Deliberately bleed air and guide along the meridian. When practicing boxing, consciousness dominates breathing, which means breathing. When inhaling, the idea gas is merged into a field list by the limbs, and the internal gas can be collected; When exhaling, the mind gas flows from the abdomen to the limbs, and the energy is used to release. According to the route of human the twelve meridians and the specific movement requirements, the qi is guided along the meridians to fill the abdomen, radiate around the abdomen, and surge back and forth, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging the whole body meridians, promoting blood circulation and promoting qi, and strengthening the body.
