In parks, squares and other public places, people can often be seen practicing Tai Ji Chuan with music. Playing Tai Ji Chuan while listening to music can increase the sense of rhythm and aesthetic appreciation. But in fact, it not only can't enhance the effect of exercise, but sometimes even make the effect of exercise greatly reduced. If practicing Tai Ji Chuan is only regarded as an exercise rather than a performance, it will be better to practice alone without music.
Tai Ji Chuan, as a kind of boxing with a long tradition, has something in common with Qigong, emphasizing "moving qi with intention, transporting the body with qi" and "focusing on boxing". When practicing, we should pay high attention, breathe evenly and smoothly, and more importantly, be calm, so as to achieve the effect of fitness and disease elimination.
Playing Tai Ji Chuan wholeheartedly is not only good for people's physical quality, but also makes people feel calm as water, which is no less beneficial to people's mental health than physical health. If you use music to fight boxing, people will involuntarily cater to the rhythm of music when practicing, and it is impossible to ignore everything, especially the music that needs to be coordinated. This will inevitably lead to people's mentality can't focus on boxing, and it also violates Tai Ji Chuan's concept of "transporting the body with qi", thus affecting the boxing effect.
Practice Tai Ji Chuan's taboos
1, to avoid distraction
Tai Ji Chuan is divided into three parts and seven parts, and his skill is profound. Recruit for art, god for potential, recruit without god for weakness, and recruit magical powers for spiritual power. Divine power penetrates the heart, divine power is unpredictable, and divine power is majestic and sharp. To practice Tai Ji Chuan, you should keep your hands, eyes and body in sync and be clear-headed.
2. Avoid looseness and weakness
Relaxation is the gateway to Tai Ji Chuan, and it is also the first level for Tai Ji Chuan practitioners to get started. Relaxation is to relax joints and vertebrae, expand muscles, tendons and skin, and let qi and blood reach the extremities. It is by no means loose, loose or lax.
3. Avoid stiff exercises.
Tai Ji Chuan's original intention is not to exert strength, but to be soft and hide strength. Loose is the door of Tai Chi, and just a stumbling block to Tai Chi. It is Tai Ji Chuan's taboo to use qi stagnation and strength to hurt qi.
4. Avoid sudden moves
Tai Ji Chuan's rule of attack and defense is: don't hit the top, roll with the punches, turn strength into strength, and pull out a thousand pounds. Surprise tactics not only can't win, but also easy to lose both sides.
5. Avoid frivolous and strange dances
Tai Ji Chuan's basic requirements are flat, steady, heavy and realistic. "Strike, strike, squeeze, press, pick, strike, elbow and lean" is Tai Ji Chuan's boxing method, and "circle and spin" is Tai Ji Chuan's boxing track. Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of "smart" fist, frivolous and ostentatious, beautiful and useless, which is not good for your health.
6. Avoid knocking on doors.
Tai Ji Chuan is a family boxing, and it is very important to practice both inside and outside. It's hard to be a master when you practice the family's boxing moves.
7, avoid miscellaneous boxing with practice
Tai Ji Chuan and other miscellaneous boxing practice together, easily lead to scattered qi and blood in the body, and it is very difficult to practice on Sunday.
8, avoid too fast.
You can't succeed by studying alone, but by practice. Only by practicing your throat can you succeed. Without a through train, haste makes waste.
9. Don't overwork yourself.
The key to practicing Tai Ji Chuan is to build a good bridge and adjust your breath. Only by attacking it with slow fire can the body fluid fill the pool water and nourish it with Dan medicine. If the mouth is not loose, the teeth are clenched and the bridge is too tight, it will be dry and bitter, which will damage the essence and consume gas.
10, avoid heart miscellaneous words
The core of practicing Tai Ji Chuan is to purify the mind, regulate the breath, and produce fluid for alchemy. The distracting thoughts in my heart are a big obstacle to practicing boxing well and must be eliminated. Secondly, as the saying goes, "It's nothing but talking." Practicing boxing consumes Tianjin and gas, which is the culprit, and it should be strictly controlled.
Practice Tai Ji Chuan's precautions
1, exercise time
The air cleanliness in the early morning in winter is poor, so the best time for exercise is after sunrise. Before practicing boxing, you'd better relax your bowels, drink some drinks such as soybean milk and milk, and eat some biscuits or other snacks, but don't be too full. (It is more suitable for the elderly around 10 in the morning)
2. Exercise place
It is not suitable to exercise in the courtyard full of soot and dirty air. You should choose a sunny and sheltered place to exercise (it is not advisable to exercise outdoors when there is fog). If you choose indoor exercise, you should pay attention to ventilation and keep the indoor air fresh. When practicing boxing, don't talk to people while practicing boxing.
3. Exercise intensity
We should flexibly adjust the amount of exercise according to our own situation, choose a certain driving situation and do what we can. Adapt to exercise slowly, don't rush for success, and don't deliberately breathe hard to achieve the so-called "abdomen" to avoid dizziness and shortness of breath, which will affect natural breathing. In addition, it should be noted that warm-up activities must be done before exercise, such as stretching, bending, squatting and so on. Otherwise, it is easy to cause sprains, bumps and fractures.
4. Don't exercise with illness.
Patients with hemoptysis and bleeding should not practice boxing. If angina occurs during winter exercises, they should stop exercising immediately. Take it easy. You can sit down or have a rest in a semi-recumbent position. If the pain is not relieved, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Just after exercise, it is best not to drink a lot of water immediately. After a short rest, drink a small amount of water many times. Drinking light salt water helps to keep the balance of water and salt in the body, and drinking some sugar water and fruit juice helps to replenish the consumed energy as soon as possible and promote the recovery of the body.
Don't take a hot bath immediately after exercise.
Because exercise makes the blood vessels of muscles expand, the blood flow increases, and the blood vessels of internal organs contract accordingly to maintain the blood flow of muscles. At this time, taking a hot bath will make the blood flow of skin and muscles increase continuously, while the blood flow of internal organs, especially the brain, decreases, which is prone to cerebral ischemia and fainting.
To sum up, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we should be calm, keep a good attitude, concentrate and concentrate, so as to devote ourselves to the practice. As for music boxing or boxing with many people together, it is actually more meaningful for performance, but it has much less effect on self-cultivation
