1. Practicing Taijiquan is beneficial to the health of the five internal organs
Invigorating the lungs: when practicing boxing, the breathing of the lungs is connected with the opening and closing of the fur, and is combined with the opening and closing of the movement, the virtual and solid, and the ups and downs. After practicing boxing, the skin is warm or slightly sweaty, which is conducive to the dissemination of lung qi and the regulation of water channels. It can also protect and solidify the skin, prevent colds, and make the skin moist and sensitive.
Kidney strengthening: Taijiquan believes that “the waist is the master” and that “the source of fate lies in the waist gap”. Therefore, when practicing boxing, we attach great importance to the role of the waist, which is the seat of the kidney. We take the waist as the axis to drive the coordinated movement of the limbs and the whole body, so as to make the strength road complete and the Qi machine smooth; It is necessary to “move the air to the back” and “the air to the spine”; It is also necessary to hang the top, hang the crotch, lift the anus, and center the tail to strengthen the kidney life and regulate the Qi of Ren and Du. And with the heart as the command, Qi sinks into the elixir field, making the heart and kidney intersect, and water and fire are both economic.
2. Practicing Taijiquan can help prevent diseases
Taijiquan exercise can dredge the heart and brain blood vessels, promote metabolism and blood circulation system, which is known as “no”. The “transportation line”, which knows fatigue, transports nutrients and wastes in a tense and orderly manner for the metabolism of the human body at all times.
Taijiquan exercise can effectively promote the periodic contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle, chest and abdominal cavity through the movement of different fist movements, promote the backflow of venous blood, supplement nutrition in time, eliminate waste, and maintain physical health.
Taijiquan exercise can improve the digestion and absorption functions of the intestines and stomach. When boxing, abdominal breathing promotes the ascending and descending movement of the septal muscle, and the folding and movement of the chest and abdomen drives the peristalsis of the intestines and stomach, which causes the abdominal cavity to swell through Qi sinking and Dantian; It can promote saliva secretion and improve digestion, absorption and excretion functions by contacting the tongue with the palate. A person’s digestion, absorption and excretion functions are better and his body is healthy.
3. Practicing Taijiquan is good for relaxing the nervous system
If people don’t exercise for a long time or do one thing for a long time, their whole bodies will be in a tense or stiff state. Taijiquan can concentrate and gather Qi, relax your nervous system, and have obvious effects in alleviating dizziness.
As people get older, their own repair system will gradually deteriorate. Taijiquan can help regulate body and mind, promote the harmony of yin and Yang, help balance and so on. Professionals say that ten minutes of Taijiquan every day can make you far away from sub-health.
If we sit in the office for a long time, we naturally have less physical activity. Excessive brain activity will lead to blockage of the meridians. If we persist in practicing Taijiquan at this time, we can have a good effect of dredging the meridians.
What should we pay attention to when practicing Taijiquan
The basic requirements of Taijiquan movement posture are: weak spirit and strong force, chest and back pulling, loose waist and buttocks, sinking shoulders and elbows, stretching fingers and sitting wrist, and tail Yan Zhongzheng.
If the action is not standardized during practice, it will not only affect your play, but also affect your understanding and inner feeling.
The standard Taijiquan technique requires that Qi sink in the Dantian, round crotch and live hip, drum inside and drum outside, movement such as silk drawing, and steps such as cat walking. All kinds of basic technical movements should be accurate in starting point, clear in running route, in place at ending point, consistent in movement, follow up and down, and cooperate with hands and eyes, so as to make the body move freely.
The key to Taijiquan is understanding, and greed for speed and quantity is unfavorable to understanding. Excessive exercise will lead to physical weakness and movement deformation, affect the internal feeling of “internal listening” and even form a wrong feeling of understanding.
When practicing Taijiquan, you must learn it under the guidance of professionals, including the extremely important help adjusting stakes, correcting movements, and guiding you to understand your inner feelings.
Who should not practice Taijiquan
1. A man eager for quick success
Tai Chi has a lot of basic skills to learn, and we all know that Tai Chi is very slow, and it pays attention to seeking stillness while moving. Therefore, this boxing should be done step by step. It takes a long time from the beginning to the understanding of the essentials. Of course, this varies from person to person. However, some people who are more eager for quick success and instant benefit always want to practice quickly and achieve quick results with the help of some skills. In fact, this is contrary to the essence of Tai Chi. As we all know, this kind of skill pays more attention to the meaning, and this realm needs to be practiced to a certain extent before it can be mastered. Therefore, this method of health preservation is not suitable for people who are eager for quick success and instant benefit.
2. A restless person
Before practicing boxing, you should be calm. This is one of the essentials of practicing boxing. If you are always upset and angry, think about other things in your heart, and can’t meditate, such a person can’t even enter the state when practicing boxing. Under such a state of mind, the effect of practicing boxing can only stretch your muscles and bones, and can’t play the role of health preservation. Therefore, people with restless hearts are not suitable for health preservation by practicing boxing. They can first choose some other ways, such as meditation, to calm their hearts, and then practice Taijiquan to keep healthy.
3. People with knee problems
In the process of practicing boxing, many postures and movements will put pressure on the joints. If some people have problems with their knees, they may cause more serious problems after practicing Tai Chi. Therefore, people with knee problems can take other measures to recuperate their bodies, and do not choose sports such as climbing stairs and playing Tai Chi, which are too active to their joints.
