Tai Ji Chuan's middle hand runs and turns.
From not knowing Tai Ji Chuan to knowing such a process, where should we start? In my teaching, I emphasize drawing a circle, which is the beginning of understanding Tai Ji Chuan and basic skills.
Hong's special emphasis on Taiji Zhuan? Circle? It is considered that the whole set of movements consists of forehand and backhand turns.
Describe the process of forehand loop ball, taking the right hand as an example. Squat on the lower plate into a side posture, with the tip of the right foot pointing to the right and forming a 45-degree angle with the body, and the left foot buckled inward to form two feet? Pass? Word step; Pinch your waist with your left hand; The right hand naturally extends to the farthest end, making a 45-degree angle with the body. The hand shape of the right hand is the palm, and the middle finger is strong.
The first move is to loosen your shoulders and lower your elbows, and naturally relax your right hand. With the relaxation of shoulders, arms and forearms, fingers are higher than palms, hands are higher than elbows, and the lateral posture remains unchanged.
The second move is to turn left, then turn left with your right hand, adjust your waist and crotch, and change to a positive standing posture.
The third action relaxes the waist, closes the crotch, and exerts force on the middle finger, with the palm of the right hand facing the chest and the palm inclined to the left shoulder.
Fourth, the body turns right, and then the right hand opens to the right. Hands lead elbows, elbows lead shoulders, and gait gradually changes to lateral posture, restoring the initial state.
The backhand loop ball is the same as the forehand loop ball, taking the right hand as an example.
The first move is to stretch the right hand at the farthest end at a 45-degree angle with the body, relax the waist and crotch, relax the shoulders and put down the elbows. The right hand rotates towards the thumb with the middle finger as the center, and the palm is forward.
The second body turns left, and then the right hand bends left to the chest.
The third measure is to relax the waist and crotch, and the right hand continues to arc into the palm. As the waist and hip sink, the shoulders relax, the elbows droop, and the right arm and right hand sink to the chest.
Fourth, turn right, relax your shoulders, put down your elbows, tuck in and grind outward, and then open your right hand 45 degrees to the right.
The forehand and backhand turns of the left hand are the same as the main points.
This is the forehand and backhand. Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of family boxing. The so-called family boxing means that there are changes inside the body. The movements of these two circles change inside, and the most important thing is the adjustment of the waist and crotch. I don't know how to change my waist and hips. It refers to the change of waist and hip. When practicing, you must pay more attention to turning your waist and try to avoid shaking your upper body. Hip strength is reflected by the rotation of hip joint. Beginners may not find crotch strength. It doesn't matter. After exercise, they will gradually realize this. Shoulders and elbows are loose, falling off and grinding outside; Hand collar elbow, elbow collar shoulder; The middle finger collar force is not only a requirement of appearance, but also a real effort to relax inside and outside.
Our Tai Ji Chuan moves are all composed of these two circles, such as essentials, angles, directions, etc. We should abide by the laws of these two circles. It can be said that drawing a good circle is the basic skill of Hong Tai Ji Chuan and the highest requirement of Hong Tai Ji Chuan. Drawing circles is a thing that runs through Tai Ji Chuan's study, and it is also a good way to master the essentials of Tai Ji Chuan as soon as possible.
General characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan
Tai Ji Chuan has a unique style and distinctive features in attack and defense.
