The nine techniques of tai chi to exert power
As a traditional Chinese martial arts, Taijiquan not only pays attention to both internal and external training, but also pays attention to force skills. The following will introduce the nine important techniques of Tai Chi to exert force.
First, heavy shoulders and elbows.
Heavy shoulders and elbows are an important foundation for Taijiquan power. By sinking the shoulders, the strength of the body can be smoothly transmitted to the arms;Falling elbows can make the strength of the arm more concentrated and exert a greater effect.
Second, pull the back with the chest.
Pulling the back with the chest is conducive to the internal qi operation of the body, so that the force is more abundant. Chest holding can relax the chest muscles, and pulling the back can make the back muscles tighten, so as to form a stable force structure.
3. Twist your waist and turn your hips.
Twisting the waist and turning the hips is the key action in Taijiquan. By twisting the waist, the force of the body can be used to form a rotating moment;Turning the hip can transfer this torque to the lower limbs, forming a strong explosive force.
Fourth, sit on the hips and raise the knees.
Sitting on the hips and raising the knees can move the center of gravity of the body downward, increase the stability of the lower limbs, and make the force more stable. By lifting the knee, you can also tighten the leg muscles and exert more strength.
Fifth, the soles of the feet grasp the ground.
The grip of the soles of the feet allows the body's power to be transmitted through the feet to the ground, creating a stable point of support. At the same time, the tightness of the soles of the feet can also increase the explosive power of the legs.
Sixth, take the waist as the axis.
Taking the waist as the axis is an important principle in Taijiquan. The waist is the center of the human body, and by using the waist as the axis, the force of the body can form a rotating moment, so as to play a greater role.
Seventh, the force starts from the foot.
Strength from the foot is the basic requirement in Taijiquan. Through the kicking action of the foot, the power of the body can be transmitted from the foot to form a complete force chain.
8. Domination in the waist.
Dominating the waist is the core principle of Tai Chi power. The waist is the center of the human body, and by dominating the waist, the body's strength can be more effectively controlled and used.
9. Shaped by fingers.
The shape of the fingers is the ultimate expression of Tai Chi power. Through the tensing and stretching of the fingers, the power of the body can be transmitted to the tips of the fingers, forming a powerful penetrating force. At the same time, the small movements of the fingers can also reflect the fineness and control of the force.
The above nine techniques are important points in Tai Chi. In practical application, it is necessary to integrate these skills to form a complete force system. Through continuous Xi practice and understanding, gradually grasp the essence and essentials of Taijiquan.
