Why should Tai Chi Chuan bend his knees?

Tai Chi Chuan, bending your knees won't hurt your knees. Tai Ji Chuan's creation inherited the training skill of knee and hip protection in China traditional martial arts, that is, (knees are loose and hips are loose). Loose knees and round hips is a special training method in China traditional Wushu. It can effectively protect the flexibility of two joints of human lower limbs. defying gravity, with the technical skills of upper limb movements, exerts super strength under the loose knees and round legs, and maximizes the power transmitted by martial arts. It can prevent knee and hip injuries.

Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of sports boxing, so it must involve the movements of hands, eyes and body. If people want to move, they must bend their knees. At the same time, Taijiquan pays attention to the stability of the footwall and the lightness of the upper body (similar to the tumbler principle), so bend your knees appropriately to realize the sinking of the center of gravity. It is necessary to correct the wrong view that hitting Tai Ji Chuan will definitely hurt your knee. In fact, this is caused by some people not mastering the rules of Tai Ji Chuan, or deviating from the guidance of a master. A really reasonable Tai Ji Chuan exercise will not hurt your knees, but also increase your leg strength and recover some sports injuries. We know that the function of knee joint is to achieve leg flexion and extension, so normal flexion and extension will not hurt the knee, but some unreasonable knee joint torsion will really hurt the knee, which is something that friends who practice Tai Ji Chuan should pay attention to.
