What are the sports characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan?
Tai Ji Chuan has strong adaptability. Tai Ji Chuan's movements are soft and slow, and the boxing style is not difficult to learn. Moreover, the height of posture and the amount of exercise can be different according to the individual's physique, which can meet the needs of different ages and constitutions. It is not a patent for the elderly and the weak.
Whether it is theoretical research or personal practice, whether it is to improve one's technology and skills, or to prolong one's life and preserve one's health, one can participate in Tai Ji Chuan and gain one's own needs from it.
Tai Ji Chuan is safe. Tai Ji Chuan's relaxed and supple movement features smooth movements without exertion, which can not only eliminate the original stiff strength of boxing practitioners, but also avoid the damage of muscles, joints, ligaments and other organs. Practicing Tai Ji Chuan can not only change people's habit and instinct of exertion, but also avoid the possibility of chest tightness, tension and qi and blood obstruction caused by improper exertion and breathing.
Tai Ji Chuan has a unique style and distinctive features in attack and defense. It requires static braking, combining rigidity and softness, avoiding reality and being empty, leveraging strength, and advocating that everything should be carried out objectively, coexist with others, and be dull.
Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "he didn't move, he moved first" and "the latecomers came from the top", introducing opponents, making them fail in weightlessness, or dispersing each other's strength, taking advantage of it and making an all-out counterattack. Tai Ji Chuan's principle of attack and defense is embodied in the training of pushing hands and routine movements, which can not only train people's physical qualities such as reaction ability, strength and speed, but also has very important significance in the training of attack and defense fighting.
Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense methods all follow the principle of Yin and Yang, and the main attack and defense process is "induced compound development". In Wushu, we can perceive the strength and direction of the opponent's coming force by listening, and "change the way with the trend" to induce the future force and then exert it.
Tai Ji Chuan's action features are: "There is rigidity in softness, but it will move when waiting, round and straight, small and strong, weak and strong".
