Shen Yun, in essence, is to practice Tai Chi to enhance the cultivation of temperament, spirit, martial ethics and personality. Physical training is tangible, while personality cultivation is invisible. Below is what I have compiled just for you:.
Charm is the spirit and style that a boxer should have. There is a saying about calligraphy: "The beauty of calligraphy comes first, followed by form and quality. Only those who combine both can be introduced to the ancients." The same is true for Tai Chi. Some people are very skilled in the practice, but there are many mistakes in their movements. It just has no momentum, no Tai Chi flavor, and generally speaking, no charm. This point involves the cultivation of human temperament. This is why Tai Chi is a culture. It not only exercises your body, but also exercises your emotions and your spirit. Not only enhance your physique but also exercise your personality. Many people's personalities have changed through practicing Tai Chi because Tai Chi, a special form of exercise, can exercise people's thinking, will, morality, and sentiment. It's the charm expressed in boxing.
Shen Yun, in essence, is to practice Tai Chi to enhance the cultivation of temperament, spirit, martial ethics and personality. Physical training is tangible, while personality cultivation is invisible. Boxing is the expression of personality and the reproduction of personality. Teacher Chen often says: "Who punches the same way." I think the practice of Shen Yun should include the following aspects:
First, momentum.
In the attitude and momentum of boxing practice, pay attention to the momentum. First of all, it is required that the body is upright and round when practicing boxing. The body method must be upright, centered and comfortable, not twisted. It is necessary to form a neutral body and a strong inner Qi, so as to achieve: full appearance, loose and round shape, soft tendons and straight bones. All movements must be either circles or arcs. When looking at the three-dimensional spiral vertically, when looking horizontally, the circles are intertwined, and the chest and waist are transformed, like a dragon or a snake. The momentum is majestic, dignified yet relaxed, rigorous yet unrestrained.
The second talk is about love.
Natural demeanor, calm and relaxed, and at ease. Expressions are actually the expression of a state of mind. For example, glaring, frowning, opening or closing the mouth, sticking out the tongue, being nervous, panicked, staring blankly, and bowing the head during slap are all unnatural mental states. When boxing, abandon the malignant excitement in exchange for benign excitement. Try to box when you are in a good mood, and box in exchange for a good mood. Such a virtuous circle. ?
Three lectures on rhythm.
Rhythm is the rhythm of boxing. Music has rhythm, dance has rhythm, and boxing also has rhythm. There is fast and slow, alternating between fast and slow, generally slow to accumulate energy and fast to release energy; there is accumulation and hair, and the hair and hair are connected; there is opening and closing, and the opening and closing are integrated together; there is curling and unwinding, and the winding and unwinding are connected; suddenly leading and then falling. Advance, introduce and alternate; there is rise and fall, and both rise and fall in a spiral. The exercises are like rolling waves to show the powerful melody of Tai Chi. In this way, boxing is both rhythmic and not tiring, which is the so-called aerobic metabolism. After boxing, breathing is normal, sweating without panting.
Four things to look at.
The eyes are the window to the spirit. Our boxing set requires the eyes to focus on seeing the enemy, taking into account both left and right. The eyes are bright and full of energy. Do not lower your head, do not raise your head, and do not twist your neck. The head moves with the body, and the eyes are darting around, either looking straight on, or scanning with peripheral vision, taking care of both the left and right. The eyes should be alert but not glaring, so as to show a natural, calm, generous and solemn demeanor.
Five lectures on charm.
What kind of flavor is "Taiwan flavor", which is the flavor reflected in Taiban's yin and yang philosophy. It is reflected not only in the fists, but also in the demeanor. Through the philosophy of boxing, we can understand the philosophy of life, "Practice boxing, practice body, and practice personality." Boxing is associated with the principles of life and dealing with others; dealing with others is also associated with the philosophy of boxing. Through boxing practice, you express your mentality; through palm practice, it affects your mentality, such a dialectical relationship. Boxing requires standing upright, so you must be upright as a person; boxing requires a combination of hardness and softness, so you can be flexible and flexible in your life and dealings, and have both a pioneering spirit and a rigorous style; boxing requires opening and closing to be in harmony, and you can swallow and spit, then your life and dealings must be able Able to be able to transform; in boxing, there are good things and bad things, so in life and doing things, you also have to take into account adversity. You seek prosperity in adversity, and you can adapt to both good and bad times. In boxing, you should be able to be both light and heavy, be calm and unhurried, be able to tolerate and change, and you should also be able to do things in life. Be able to respond calmly, be tolerant, tolerant, and take your time; boxing emphasizes harmony, so you must also be harmonious in life and work, value harmony, and handle interpersonal relationships, social relationships, and the relationship with nature; boxing emphasizes dignity and dignity. Stretch, a person should also be calm, steady and chic. Therefore, boxing is both a physical training and a temperament training.
In short, in the process of practicing and enlightening the boxing, the philosophy of Tai Chi and the philosophy of life should influence each other and complement each other. The demeanor and emotion when boxing can reflect the inner mentality of a person's personality. In a word, Tai Chi is adapted to daily life, and Tai Chi philosophy is embedded in life. Therefore, our Gao has a unique charm, and at the same time, we must also show the charm of our own personality and the nobleness of martial arts in our conduct, practice and transmission of boxing. So I often say: Tai Chi, which is full of life philosophy, will not only give you a healthy body, but also help you cultivate a noble personality.
Boxing connects boxing theory, philosophy, psychology, and physiology, and the body is tempered, and the spirit is also tempered, so as to achieve both form and spirit, both square and round, both body and function, both morals and arts, and both civil and military skills, thus making oneself into the " The unobstructed wonderful state of "the unity of nature and man" is the superior stage of "class gods" mentioned by Wang Zongyue.
