What are the basic skills of getting started in Tai Ji Chuan?
Tai Ji Chuan is an excellent sport that originated in China and belongs to the world. It has a deep mass base and a long cultural origin in China. I collected the basic skills of Tai Ji Chuan for you, I hope it will help you!
First, Tai Ji Chuan's basic skills and training steps.
The method of practicing leg flexibility is to "stretch tendons" first, and then use various methods such as pressing, discarding and kicking. In fact, it is very important to persist every day.
1. When practicing, you can wear cloth-soled shoes or soft rubber-soled heels. Loose, Chinese clothes are the most suitable, and sportswear is also ok.
2. Practice time and direction: don't face east in the morning, don't face west at night, don't face south in the afternoon and never face north. The time is appropriate in the morning and evening, or in the afternoon. 5:00 ~ 7:00, 15:00 ~ 16:00, 2 1:00 ~ 22:00 are the best training time. If there are other circumstances, you can make your own arrangements.
3. Age and progress of Kung Fu:/kloc-Adults and couples over 0/0, don't make it worse, but stick to it for a long time. /kloc-Teenagers over 0/0 years old are a good opportunity to practice basic skills, but they should pay attention to ways and means, and don't force gradual progress.
At this time, it is in the period of growth and development, and it is especially necessary to be careful not to rush for success. This kind of flexible kung fu is easier for women than men and takes effect quickly. The progress of kung fu should be measured according to the degree of pain during self-stretching. Remember that "pain lasts for a long time, numbness is weak, and acid is not practiced".
Pay special attention to the following two points.
(1) Tendon stretching process needs endurance and continuity, and it is impossible to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. If you don't practice stretching for 7 days, the muscles stretched in front will shrink back, indicating that you haven't practiced.
(2) The "sudden advance" of tendon stretching is dangerous, and the progress of tendon stretching must conform to human physiological performance and scientific nature. I have seen many cases in which the muscles of the waist and legs are torn and disabled because of excessive force. Don't be eager for quick success.
Steps of "stretching muscles and stovepipe"
Generally speaking, "stretching muscles to waste legs" refers to using one leg to support the weight of the body, the other leg to straighten, and placing the heel at a certain height, and then stretching the ligaments of ankles, knees and hip joints and the muscle groups behind the legs through the action of leaning forward of the upper body or pressing the knees with both hands.
There is a better way. This method is to squat down one leg with the help of the first step of the stairs or the vertical plane of the curb, straighten the other leg, and push the heel on the vertical plane, taking care not to let the heel of the sole leave the vertical plane, so as to stand up slowly.
Stretch the leg press ligament and the muscles of the back and legs by leaning forward or touching the knees of the front legs with both hands.
In this way, the left and right legs are stretched repeatedly, and it takes 15 minutes every day. In this way, it takes a year for teenagers and two or three years for adults to stretch their muscles to the top, thus gradually improving the flexibility of their legs. In order to avoid muscle and ligament strain, don't rush for success.
Before "stretching tendons and wasting legs", we should make good preparations. Before you start doing your homework, you can run to relax.
4. Kicking training
The ancients said: "If you don't walk in a war, you must be not afraid of death." Stretch your muscles before you walk, which is also called "kicking". Kicking is also one of the basic skills of Wushu.
Both beginners and experienced martial arts practitioners must keep practicing. The contents of "walking legs" include forward kicking, oblique kicking (crossing legs), side kicking, leg folding, outward swinging, back kicking (backward kicking) and other leg movements.
Finally, we should carry out routine activities of fist equipment and exercise in a happy and relaxed mood at the same time, so as to achieve good results.
Second, the basic skills of waist and legs are also compulsory courses in Tai Ji Chuan.
If you want to improve the kung fu of Neijia Boxing, you must work hard to pull out the bones. The most basic requirement of traditional boxing attack and defense is "weak and boneless". Only when one's appearance is "soft as a bone" can one adapt to the rule of "changing with the move" in fighting and defense.
Laozi said in Tao Te Ching: "The bones are weak and the tendons are soft and firm." "The world is the softest and the strongest." Only when the body reaches the state of "being soft without bones" can there be "the joy of being soft", the direct use of internal qi when attacking, and the magical state of "sticking to each other and combining learning with fighting".
This is the essence of traditional boxing. Boxing proverb says, "You should be like water." If you want to improve your boxing skills, especially your internal strength, you must work hard to pull out the tendons and bones.
Nowadays, people think that Tai Ji Chuan has no waist and legs and can't lay a foundation. This understanding is wrong.
Now people who are learning to practice Tai Ji Chuan are taking a "shortcut" instead of practicing hard. Beginners practice Tai Ji Chuan routines from the beginning, and the coach himself has never practiced basic skills, so students don't know what basic skills are. The basic skills of China Wushu were lost.
To practice Tai Ji Chuan's predecessors, we should first practice the flexibility of waist and legs, and stake with "stance" or "stance", stake with "stride", kick and kick to make the waist and legs flexible, firm and powerful, and then practice the "lean, row, squeeze and press" style until the waist, legs and feet are consistent, and then practice Tai Ji Chuan.
In fact, Tai Ji Chuan's every movement and style is based on his waist and legs. Without waist and legs, it is difficult to achieve natural and correct movements, rounded and in place, and the combination of form and spirit is even more difficult to understand.
For example, power, hand sticking is only an aid, and its activity center is in the waist and legs. Boxing classic says: break a thousand pounds skillfully. So is Joaquin. If you only use your hands, it is laborious and slow, not as smart as your waist and legs.
There is a saying in the boxing proverb: "The root is in the foot, the source is in the leg, the main body is in the waist, and the shape is in the finger." Now many people are not good at practicing this kind of boxing. It should be noted that most of them don't pay attention to practicing waist and legs.
In the traditional Tai Ji Chuan posture, there are only six legs that are obviously exposed, namely, left and right legs, kicking, kicking, flying feet, single-swinging lotus legs and double-swinging lotus legs.
People who don't know think that Tai Ji Chuan is not good at using the leg technique, but they don't know that all the imaginary steps in Tai Ji Chuan's moves contain the leg technique, and this is the secret of Tai Ji Chuan, which can only be understood by studying and practicing to a certain extent.
