The best method and common principles of Taijiquan practice

Practice is nothing more than mind and body, also called mind and body, or mind and body. The practice of mind and body together is the dual cultivation of life and life. Teacher Wu Huidong has adopted a new name called Integrity of Body and Mind, to absorb the essence of traditional practice and combine it with modern human science, remove the religious and superstition elements in the past practice, and refine the best. The method of training.

The focus of the integration of mind and body is method, based on traditional empirical experience and modern human science research. The two are complementary, and most of them can be mutually verified. The advantage of traditional empirical evidence is that after thousands of years of practice, a set of effective methods has been formed, especially in the spiritual realm. The disadvantage is that in the process of inheritance, most individuals only master a part of it, just like a busy person touching the elephant. Only one problem is known, and the other is unknown, and there is a part of superstition unknowingly.

Modern human science has reached a certain height, especially in the basic human body structure, human anatomy, sports mechanics, etc. It can be said that the research has been very thorough. For traditional ambiguities, science can be very clear The explanation is that the research of neuroscience and brain science in the field of mentality has reached the level where it can artificially create an experience of enlightenment.

During meditation, the activity of the upper parietal cortex decreases, which leads to distortion of the perception of space, resulting in a sense of integration with the universe. This kind of feeling can also be produced when punching to the advanced stage. How to reduce the activity of the upper parietal cortex or how to achieve the sense of harmony between man and nature in meditation and boxing? Relaxation is a method of mutual approval, and concentration is the first thing to cause a relaxation response. That is to say, in spiritual practice, tradition and science are not contradictory.

In the middle and early stages of Taijiquan practice, the research results of modern science and ancient empirical experience and methods are highly consistent.At a higher level, it seems that modern science cannot fully explain the phenomenon of traditional cultivation, just because most of us know too little about brain science and neurology, and scientists in this area do not understand Tai Chi. Of course, there are indeed many unexplainable phenomena, but this does not affect the guiding role of science in the early and mid-term. For most people, specific guidance at the junior and intermediate levels is more meaningful. What is lacking now is not advanced practice methods, but authoritative guidance methods before understanding Jin.

Throughout the expositions of various well-known boxers, most of them emphasized the role of mind and the importance of relaxation in the later period, which essentially shifted the focus of practice from the body to the practice of spiritual mind. There is a theory that the mind and body are integrated, spiritual exercises will eventually affect the body, and spiritual exercises also require a certain amount of physical support. Therefore, it has been said in the past that the body is not the Tao, and it is impossible to separate the body. The body and the spirit are inseparable. of.

Mind Ba, Yi Quan, Mind Liuhe Boxing, Mind Liuhe Boxing, span2span, etc. Many types of boxing can tell from the name that the root of the boxing lies in the mind, but the meaning must be based on the body, otherwise punching and meditation What's the difference in meditation?

There are many schools of Tai Chi, and there are many ways to practice. Each has its own characteristics, and some methods even contradict each other. So which method is the best and correct? ? Only by breaking the doorway and using a unified standard to measure it, what is this standard? Who will make it? Master? I'm afraid it won't work. It's hard to convince people if it doesn't reach the height of Zhang Sanfeng Yang Luchan. The master is also famous, and he can't refute it at all. It is difficult to have the objective spirit of scientific research. Is it scientific? I'm afraid it won't work either? Science is just a tool, and different people can use scientific analysis to get completely opposite results for the same problem. Many laymen use scientific analysis to make Tai Chi fist sensible. The insider sees many mistakes and makes no sense. Scientific analysis is not just a method but a goal. Is to find a better exercise method,It is for cultivating more talents and serving the public, without first bringing in ideas. Can stand the test to become the ultimate standard.

There are only masters who have no insight, and scientific research without the correct method. It is best to be a scientist who really understands Tai Chi but has no insight, speaks with data, based on facts, and has thousands of years of empirical experience. Combining with real scientific research can produce a truly widely recognized practice standard. This standard has to be tested in practice. This standard is not a standard for every trick like a competition, but a principle, in principle. The unity of the concept, the guiding principle of commonality, is not the unity of specific moves.

The common recognition of yin and yang concepts is one of them, but at the beginning, it is impossible to give guidance on specific practice methods. The more specific, the easier it is to disagree.

Although the standards and procedures for practicing boxing are very large, there is no authoritative platform for communication. Basically, you are talking to yourself, you say yours, I say mine, don’t talk about right or wrong, and a group of kindness , There are still some people who hold the handicapped and defend the deficiency, thinking that they have the best inheritance from their teachers, and they don't know the vastness of the world outside. For example, the outer sanhe and inner sanhe generally recognized in the martial arts circle, some people still want to question whether it is necessary, and how to do it to make the outer sanhe, and what is the standard for the outer sanhe? There are still objections to this simplest and most basic question. If you look at the current Taijiquan frame with the exception of three-in-one as the basic standard, many movements do not meet the requirements. Is this movement right or wrong?

If there is a systematic method for practicing Tai Chi for health purposes, the systematic method for martial arts purposes must be different. The practice methods of children and middle-aged students and teachers are definitely different. The practice methods and standards for the beginner and advanced stages are different.

The practice of Tai Chi should be the same as in schools. There are different teaching materials for different stages. Primary schools, middle schools, and universities are different. Primary schools will not learn high school and university courses, and do not need to know the truth.After graduating from elementary school, he will naturally be promoted to middle school and start to learn new textbooks. Graduation requires graduation standards. In the theory of Taijiquan, the practice stages of Taijiquan are divided into three stages: familiarity, understanding and spirituality, and there can be more detailed ones. However, understanding Jin can be regarded as the most important stage standard of Taijiquan.

How can I choose the best practice method? This is an impossible thing, because people are different and laws are different, so there is simply no way to unify them. But we can make a general classification, just as the courses of different majors in universities are different.

1, classified by age, can be divided into children, adolescents, youth, middle-aged, and elderly , Teaching

3, classified by location, can be divided into gyms, boxing gyms, squares, professional schools, general schools

The content of practice in different categories can be overlapped but should be focused on each . The trainees learn relevant professional knowledge according to the purpose of completing the basic exercises. There is no global optimal solution but there can be a local relative optimal solution. In the end, a variety of training systems, evaluation systems, and grading systems are formed, which are also conducive to the promotion and popularization of Taijiquan, breaking sects, and establishing schools.

There must be different voices in the process of searching for the best training method. You can refer to scientific research methods. Various methods are trained in different schools, different communities, and different groups of people. After 1-4 years of practice in different methods, a horizontal comparison is finally carried out.

For example, regarding the effect of treatment, it is actually very simple in comparison. Now it is a comparison between practicing Tai Chi and not practicing Tai Chi. There are few comparisons between practicing Tai Chi in different schools, or Tai Chi and other fitness methods. Comparison.It is easy to find the relatively best way of movement after comparing the horizontal and vertical directions. And this best exercise method may not be one. There must be a commonality behind it. This commonality can be proven by science. Based on this commonality, more exercise methods with the same purpose can be developed to be suitable for different groups of people and scenes. . By grasping the commonality, we can draw inferences from one another, and we can achieve simplicity.

can use the body and mind integration system or Tai Chi movement system to integrate various sports skills, martial arts, meditation, standing , meditation, exercise therapy, Chinese and Western medicine related knowledge, which is more inclusive than pure Tai Chi. The final formation of a discipline system is not the creation of a new school. Basic disciplines may include brain science, neurology, kinesiology, human mechanics, anatomy, Chinese medicine, western medicine, nutrition, buddhism, dandao, qigong, Tai Chi, yoga, etc., It is a part of human science, but the focus is not only on research, but on research and practice at the same time. To achieve the unity of knowing and doing, knowing and doing, research is to practice, and practice to verify the research results.

The integration of body and mind is basically the study of the human body. Self-awareness, self-cultivation and external scientific research are two different paths, which need to be crossed and re-adjusted from time to time. There is a basis for self-awareness. In Tai Chi, it is the stage of understanding strength. In layman's terms, it opens up the motor cell. After that, it has a good foundation for fitness, medical treatment or fighting games, and it does not even need to be limited to Tai Chi and martial arts itself. , Can be diversified according to interests. With self-awareness to learn other sports skills, the method of exerting force will be very fast, and you will soon be able to grasp the way of exerting exercise. As long as you strengthen the practice according to the characteristics of different sports, you can definitely reach a certain height. The success rate will be greatly improved, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary waste of manpower and resources. Before launching professional sports,The first development of training awareness should become a basic subject.

The establishment of the discipline can better provide guidance for health preservation, martial arts fighting, enlightenment and liberation. In the future, the development of martial arts must be popularized among the people, and majors in colleges. Private masters have limited time and are mostly amateurs. Although some masters who have practiced for many years are highly skilled, there are few young people, and they do not have the conditions from competition training to professional development. Most of them are hobbies and hobbies, and it is difficult to achieve results. Young people are still being cultivated in professional colleges. If their eyes are not limited to competition performances and beyond their reputation, if can be based on self-cultivation will appear more than ten years later as a master who can play and have theories, and has a lifelong achievement. When more than folk masters. Professional colleges should also open their minds and invite more folk teachers. Their years of boxing experience and experience also is not something that can be achieved by learning boxing in school for a few years.
