Top Ten Masters of Taijiquan

The top ten masters of Taijiquan are as follows:

1. Mr. Yang Chengfu - "Taijiquan is the art of hiding the needle in the cotton, the posture should be neutral and complete, calm and loose, and the movements should be light and round, purely by the divine action."

2. Mr. Zheng Manqing - "Swallowing the air of the sky, the force of the earth, and the longevity of the people with softness. Thirteen styles of body use each get a style, its use is said to stroke, its body is said to be in the fixed. That's all. When applying a stroke is enough. Boxing frame but for learning and practicing and design, in fact, to the application, a move are not needed."

3, Mr. Hao Weizhen - "the first practice, such as the body in the water, two feet on the ground, the movement has the resistance of water. At the second level, it is like being in the water, with both feet floating, floating in the water, and being able to move freely. The third layer, the body is light, two feet like walking on the water, in the abyss to fulfill the ice, the spirit of internalization, do not dare to have the slightest disorganization. This is the fist into carry on.

4, Mr. Shi Ming - "Floating away to receive and disperse the emptiness, shoulder, waist and hips of the three qi circles - this is the whole of Taijiquan body use. In order to take over with others without committing throwing flat top resistance and other problems, must have two conditions: one is floating, the second is walking.

Floating is the whole body joints and muscles sections loose, stiffness and clumsiness of the force completely removed, there is no dead force under the feet, and there is a sense of ascension; walking is the gas walk, meaning that the guide gas with the line, the internal qi can be in the body at will walk.

5, Mr. Yang Yuting - "softness is not weakness, very soft is a high degree of not lost, not top, like a shadow, touching always feel empty, can not feel the center of the other side, into the empty, retreating to lose momentum.

Extremely firm and rigid is the recipient always feel that the other side of the force is big, they can not get everywhere to get the opportunity to get the momentum. On the other hand, after practicing for a long time, it produces a kind of drumming force, a kind of overall force that is very rich in elasticity. (Like the water waves in the sea floating up tons of huge ships.)"

6. Mr. Chen Weiming - "Relax the tendons and loosen the joints in order to be loose and soft. Seek its soft, can make the whole body can be withdrawn and not linked also. If you push their hands, manual and elbow immobility; push their elbows, elbow movement and shoulder immobility; push their shoulders, shoulder movement and body immobility; push their body, body movement and waist immobility; push their waist, waist movement and leg immobility, so it can be as stable as Mount Taishan.

7. Mr. Xiang Kai Ran - Taiji is a circle. Taijiquan is a kind of boxing that has countless circles linked together. No matter how you raise your hand or throw your foot, you cannot leave this circle. If you deviate from this circle, it is against the principle of Taijiquan. Not only can you not move your hands and feet away from the circle, but you can't move your limbs and bones away from the circle.

8, Mr. Dong Yingjie - "Taijiquan practice is based on the heart, no need for force, purely natural, the tendons and bones are seldom bent, and the skin has no pain. How can one be powerful without exertion? Covering Taiji practice, sinking the shoulders and elbows, and sinking the gas into the dantian. The gas can enter the dantian (dantian is the total organ of the gas), and then transport all the limbs and bones, so that the gas flows around the whole body, and the intention is to reach the gas.

Practice this position, its power is unlimited. Master cloud: very soft and then very hard. That's what I mean."

9, Mr. Wang Yongquan - Taijiquan has four major circles of 'three flat and one vertical' as far as the circle of qi is concerned. Flat circle has shoulder circle, waist circle, crotch circle; vertical circle has three-dimensional circle at the lower dantian. Shoulder circle main human body balance, waist circle main human body rotation, crotch circle main human body in and out; Dantian three-dimensional circle main human body technology attack force.

10, Mr. Ma Yueliang - "Taijiquan's 'lightness' can not be explained by simply not exerting force. Lightness is relative to heaviness. Light means that you cannot use 'explosive power' and avoid double.

Lightness is also not laxity. Both laxity and explosive force are taboo in Taijiquan. Lightness is not the use of force. That is why it is said that 'it seems to be loose but not loose, and it will be spread but not yet spread' for Taijiquan. Taijiquan movements, hands, eyes, stance and footwork are all between powerful and powerless. Showing the momentum of will show not yet show, it is appropriate to clearly distinguish between reality and emptiness, in order to constitute the Taiji Jin."
