What Are The Charm And Learning Points Of 24 Styles Simplified Tai Chi: Movement Norms And Breathing Coordination?
The 24-style simplified Tai Chi combines the essence of Tai Chi. The movements are simple and clear, which not only enhances the body and mind, but also promotes harmony between the body and mind. By practicing this boxing, people can feel its unique sports charm and the benefits of physical and mental coordination. Now, I will introduce you some key points on how to learn and practice.
Action specifications
The movement norms of Tai Chi are extremely important. When starting the movement, your feet should be as wide as your shoulders, with the toes facing forward; your arms should be slowly raised to keep your arms round , and space should be left under your armpits. During the practice, the wrist cannot become stiff, it must be maintained and moves with changes in the movement. The amplitude of knee bending should be adjusted appropriately according to the strength of the individual's leg. Take my experience when I first started learning Tai Chi as an example. Due to the lack of standard movements, my knees are under too much pressure and often feel pain. But later I paid attention to the normativeness of the movements, and the situation improved significantly.
Breathing coordination
Breathing is closely related to exercise effectiveness. Among the 24 styles of Tai Chi, special attention is paid to the use of abdominal breathing. The abdomen will bulge when inhaling, and the abdomen will shrink when exhaling. Taking "Yun Hand" as an example, when waving the Yun Hand to the left, you should inhale and let your breath drop to the Dantian; while when waving the Yun Hand to the right, you should exhale and let your breath drop to the bottom of your abdomen. In the past, I paid too much attention to movements and ignored the importance of breathing, which led to excessive physical exhaustion. But since I learned to cooperate with breathing and movements, I feel much more relaxed.
Focus on mind
You must focus on boxing. Every action needs to be repeatedly pondered deep in the heart to maintain inner peace. Taking "Lu" in "Lang Bi Tai" as an example, you need to imagine that you are cleverly resisting the opponent's attack. At first I was often distracted, but now I have learned how to concentrate and feel particularly happy after practicing boxing.
Rhythm control
The twenty-four movements of Tai Chi have a strong sense of rhythm and obvious changes in speed and slowness. Taking "Bronco Split Mane" as an example, the movement can be appropriately accelerated to demonstrate its strong and powerful characteristics; while in the "sea needle" posture, the movement should be slowed down so that people can feel their stability and calmness. I remember a friend of mine who was quick to practice at first, but he failed to understand the charm of Tai Chi. Later, he mastered the rhythm of the movements, and the Tai Chi he played gradually became more and more beautiful.
Daily persistence
After learning, daily exercises are indispensable. This kind of exercise cannot immediately show significant results, and requires us to persevere. I persisted for half a year and found that my physique and mentality had made significant progress. I think that only by perseverance can we truly appreciate the unique benefits of Tai Chi.
