The method of Taijiquan

The method of Taijiquan hair power

The practice of Taijiquan should master the way and method, so that you can learn the real power of Taiji, if you want to learn good techniques and push hands must first learn to hair power.

1 Dantian throughput reverse breathing

Opening and closing is Taiji, throughput is internal. Chen-style taijiquan is practiced by the internal force, except for the preparatory form, all the physical movements are not open and close changes. Through the opening and closing of the movement to adjust the breath throughput, to fist practice, so as to achieve both internal and external cultivation, the purpose of generating internal energy.

The breathing of the mouth and nose is only a means to pass inside and outside. Taijiquan's throughput is the "gas sinking into the dantian", which is the name of the breathing in the dantian. Nose and mouth breathing outside the gas and Dantian breathing gas connection, the heart of God's intention to illuminate the Dantian.

The dantian is an important part of the martial arts practitioner, there are two main dantian, that is, the qi sinking dantian and the intention to guard the dantian, practicing good dantian strength, hair strength will have power.

With the dantian of the yuan qi intersection (heart and kidney intersection), transported through the body, unimpeded in the limbs, so that the boxing scripture of the cloud: "up and down connected to the inside and outside of the unity". The so-called internal strength, "is the person's scattered in the outside of the spirit, with the rules of the fist, hands and feet body movements. Shun with the reverse retracted in the dantian, and dantian yuan qi intersection, from nothing to something, from the micro and the, from the virtual to the real, are gradually accumulated, this is called boxing within the strength."

Therefore, the opening and closing of the body and hands, and the throughput of the dantian in Taijiquan is the method of practicing internal force. Chen style taijiquan uses abdominal reverse respiration and dantian respiration to connect with the internal qi, up and down, stimulate the true qi, so as to achieve the purpose of internal destruction.

2 blowing air and breathing "hum" and "ha"

The organic combination of reverse abdominal breathing and dantian throughput produces a cold, elastic, brittle, fast shaking and frying power, which is only in appearance, a tremor, and the power has been issued.

The internal force is instantly stimulated at the right time, and can be used in three states: exhaling, inhaling, and closing the breath, and the force emitted is determined by the length, strength, and weakness of the breath.

Generally speaking, when blowing the breath, i.e., the palate and tongue are slightly closed, and there is a gap between them, when the force is released, part of the breath can be exhaled from the mouth and nose, and the air pressure drops, and intersects with the qi of the dantian, and the nose naturally emits the sound of "humming", which is cold and brittle. If you exhale purely through your mouth, you will naturally make a "ha" sound. Compared to blowing your breath, your breath will sink and the strength of your dantian will rise, making your force strong and long.

In taijiquan, the sound of "hum, ha" is skillfully used to assist in all kinds of power generation. Especially in combat, the sound of breathing can make the muscles of the human body get rapid contraction and diastole, prompting the muscles to have a high degree of elasticity, and also make the muscles get longer, which can mobilize the intention of the human body, and achieve the effect of promoting the power with the gas and helping the power with the sound.

The inner relationship between blowing, exhaling, and vocalizing should be worked out in the continuous practice of vocalizing, which is suitable for our own method of vocalizing.

3 Stomping the ground and twisting the crotch to tighten the four tips

The theory of boxing says: "The root is in the feet, the legs, the waist, and the fingers. From the feet and legs and waist, always have to be complete a gas," a gas through the root in the feet, taijiquan requires "light and not floating, sinking and not stiff," light and not floating that is, sinking, requiring the feet to be rooted, rootless, such as the source of no water, no root of the tree.

In the moment of force, the foot stomping force, the root does not shift, unbreakable, in order to be able to rely on the ground's reaction force, the force will be constantly transmitted to the tip section. Boxing theory says, "If you want to practice Taijiquan, first seek internal and external communication. Yin and Yang are the roots of each other, all in the crotch and hips." Only when the crotch and hip joints are relaxed, the waist can be flexible.

The two crotches and the two knees should be open and open round, but also virtual together, the crotch suddenly twisted buckle, a moment of force, the abdomen, waist, legs, shoulders, back, arm muscles almost simultaneously, suddenly tight, the force rushed out through the four tips, the whole body suddenly tight, like braking, emergency braking, resulting in a loose bullet, cold and brittle inertial shaking force, immediately after the force relaxation, inhalation, restoration of the natural.

4 Symmetry of internal and external opening and closing

The fist recipe says: "The fist is very powerful, open and close the gas out, luck is more than slow, gas is more than urgent, slow and urgent, God's art, all in one breath." Practicing Tai Chi Kung Fu that is practicing Dantian gas, internal gas full, full, since it will win a chip, boxing proverbs cloud: internal training a breath, outside the training of the muscles and bones skin, with the intention of leading the gas, the gas is great to win three points.

Taijiquan power when moving like lightning, sound like thunder. To gas destroy force, prompting the outbreak of internal gas, so that the heart and intention, gas and force, intention and gas, so that you can send out the whole force.
