Tai Ji Chuan's three essentials of pushing hands

? Good at intention and reasonable exertion? It is the primary premise for Tai Ji Chuan to push hands to overcome strength with small strength, and to overcome clumsy strength with clever strength, and it is also the greatest feature of Tai Ji Chuan. Today, I'm going to tell you three essentials of Tai Ji Chuan's pushing hands. Let's have a look.

first, be good at intention and exert yourself reasonably

? Good at intention and reasonable exertion? It is the primary premise for Tai Ji Chuan to push hands to overcome strength with small strength, and to overcome clumsy strength with clever strength, and it is also the greatest feature of Tai Ji Chuan.

what are the actions of people? Meaning? To dominate, ideas guide actions, Follow your heart? That's what it means.

the intention is to pay attention and practice. In the process of pushing hands, we should always pay attention and relax our minds. Loose and unremitting? Moderate intention, let nature take its course. This is good at intention.

　? Force? It refers to the strength produced by the breathing and the contraction and relaxation of muscles under the guidance of ideas.

Tai Ji Chuan follows Tai Ji Chuan's theory and combines the corresponding movements in an orderly manner according to certain specifications. The forces formed by it are holistic strength, skillful strength and vitality, which are called internal strength or taiji strength.

Under the guidance of correct ideas from beginning to end, we should try our best to use less force, give full play to the maximum efficiency and achieve? Four or two pounds? The ideal effect, this is a reasonable force.

in Tai Ji Chuan's classic works, the importance of consciousness is emphasized, and the ancestor Yang Chengfu emphasized it in "Ten Essentials of Tai Ji Chuan"? Intention is not hard? I thought it was a clever statement.

Because in general, when pushing hands against competition, people are more accustomed to using clumsy force, local force, especially the force of upper limbs and arms, thus forming a stagnant bull (which can also be said to be an instinctive reaction of people).

Overcorrection is absolutely necessary. We must strengthen our ideas in pushing hands, and make correct and reasonable responses on the premise of perceiving the momentum of the other party. We must be upright and calm, with loose limbs, light and flexible changes and free rotation.

if you practice for a long time, you will gain real inner strength, that is, vitality, dexterity and overall strength. When pushing hands, you will not blindly use dead strength, clumsy strength and local strength to form a strong bull, so as to avoid causing stiff limbs, poor breathing, ineffective listening and slow response.

this is the famous saying of teacher Yang Chengfu? Not hard? The true meaning of.

In a sense, practicing pushing hands means practicing this thinking function of the human brain, practicing wisdom, dexterity, sensitivity to touch, flexibility of limbs, entanglement of movements, enrichment of inner strength and completeness of whole body strength.

In pushing hands, we should pay attention to the consciousness to guide the action, and the action should be coordinated with breathing and strength, meaning, qi and strength. Have the opportunity, so? Good at intention? Yes? Reasonable force? The premise and guarantee,? Reasonable force? Yes? Good at intention? The practice and effect of.

to get twice the result with half the effort, we need to do the following five things.

first, we should make use of the principle of taking advantage of the trend and taking advantage of the force. Four or two pounds? It is a figurative metaphor. We often say. Stealing and pushing the boat with the current is the truth.

Second, we should make use of the rotating force to bring into play the functions of the upper limb's rotating arm to turn the wrist, the lower limb's rotating ankle to turn the leg, and the body's rotating waist to turn the spine, so as to make the force smooth, the strength smooth, not to lose the top, and not to give the other side a focus. This is the principle of circular motion in mechanics.

Third, we should relax more and relax less, giving priority to softness, being light and gentle, lingering and relaxing, and walking first. Give yourself up to others? Don't shoot indiscriminately, make yourself strong, low in consumption and durable.

Fifth, we should make use of various techniques of Tai Ji Chuan's Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, so that all parts of the limbs can work alternately, and be skilled in operation, improvise, change flexibly, distribute physical strength reasonably and reduce the consumption of force.

second, softness and rigidity, combining rigidity with softness

softness and rigidity are two kinds of strengths with different properties. It is generally believed that rigidity has the characteristics of hard, crisp and decisive, while softness has the characteristics of flexibility, lingering, adhesion and lightness.

Tai Chi tuishou is a technique that combines softness with rigidity, and hides needles in cotton, with softness on the outside and rigidity on the inside. Muscles and joints are often in a good state of high relaxation without slacking off, which keeps bones and limbs relatively stable.

with each other's enthusiasm, instead of fighting against the hard top, use flexibility? Adhesion and entanglement? , leading to the development of the rigid and flexible Taiji strength, defeating the enemy.

Stiffness and softness are a pair of strengths that complement each other. No matter what moves are used, rigidity and softness coexist and are indispensable.

Some people think that Tai Ji Chuan's pushing hand is based on the competitive skill of being flexible and rigid, and that Tai Chi strength means being soft, that is, to be light and loose, and to be loose to the end. Who does not know that pure softness is not rigid, it will be too soft but not tough, too weak but not strong, forming a soft fist that is weak and easy to collapse.

when you meet an opponent who is moderate in rigidity and softness, you will be embarrassed by your own? Lose the soft plaque but delay and be timid? It's common to be frustrated by the explosive force of the other party's silk winding with the waist as the axis and the force from the foot. Hard and soft? The phenomenon.

Some people rely on their height and strong weight, and blindly win by strength when pushing hands, but they don't know that if they are pure and rigid, they will be too rigid but not tough. Not only is their strength easy to break and break, but they are dull and fragile, stiff and inflexible, and their listening skills are ineffective, their strength is not smooth, and their changes are slow. They can't concentrate on mobilizing their overall strength, so they are easily frustrated by the other side's efforts, and they are frustrated by the introduction of unsuccessful and soft tactics.

Tai Ji Chuan's pushers? With softness? Not really? Soft strength overcomes hard strength? , but a master uniform that combines rigidity with softness and is moderate in rigidity and softness? Pure rigidity without softness? The opponent scene.

is it also common to say? Yigang Kegang? The situation, although the two sides also use some tricks, but they are eager to win, relying on strength to offset.

Although we can also win or lose, it is not worth taking for the improvement of physical and mental health, self-cultivation or the level of pushing hands.

someone asked me, if Tai Ji Chuan pushes the hand, both sides are soft, then who will win?

It depends on who has high adhesive quality, who has better listening ability, and who has done a better job in adjusting rigidity and softness.

It turns out that rigidity and softness are not always presented in equal proportion in the application, and the proportion of them is not constant from beginning to end. Instead, they must be adjusted at any time according to the situation and needs in the process of pushing hands, so that the adjustment is better than the poor adjustment, that is, presentation? With softness? The wonderful scene.

generally speaking, when introducing Zou Hua, it is mainly soft and hard, and the introduction of the other side is unsuccessful; When you have the opportunity, you can attack hard, that is, make full use of it? First, then send, soft and just send? Law, release the enemy with the explosive force of silk winding.

I remember that once, a tough middle-aged man offered to push my hand. At first, the two sides joined hands, stuck together, and used it smoothly. Both sides cooperated and coordinated very seriously.

Later, he controlled my right elbow with both hands, that is, he tried to subdue me with his strength. At this time, I calmly responded to the momentum, shouldered, sank my hips, wrapped my elbows, turned back, and used my right hands to exert strength, and sent the other party out in one go.

third, static braking, seeking static while moving

? With static braking, seek static while moving? This famous saying scientifically and dialectically expounds the relationship between yin and yang of the contradiction between dynamic and static in Tai Ji Chuan's pushing hands, and it is an important theory and law guiding Tai Ji Chuan's pushing hands to win.

a quiet person has a calm mind and a balanced mentality. When pushing hands, we must first establish a correct view of victory and defeat, and have good quality and martial arts.

don't aim too high and be eager to win. You just want to overwhelm the other side and be impatient and impetuous. You should have a good mentality of learning from each other, learning skills and improving together. If you adjust your mentality, you will be calm, get rid of distractions and ideological burdens, and always keep a calm mind and a highly concentrated state of preparation.

calmly observe, perceive (listen) and analyze each other's focus, strength, direction, length, reality and other characteristics, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and take countermeasures to achieve loose limbs, lightness and flexibility, and the whole body is in a state of readiness.

　? Quiet as a civet cat catching mice, ready to go? ，? He doesn't move, I don't move, he moves slightly, I move first? Arrive first, take the lead, and gain the initiative to control the other party, so that according to the other party's dynamics, using techniques reduces blindness and is easy to hit the other party.

in case my move doesn't work, I won't fight back because of the other party's passivity.

For example, if the other person pushes my chest with both hands, I will take the lead in consciousness, sit on my hips loosely, and use both hands to turn the other person's strength away. When the other person is uprooted by me, leans forward and wants to withdraw his hand to adjust his center of gravity, I will immediately send out a joint force with both hands.

stillness is for better movement. In the process of pushing hands, both sides strive to take the initiative and are always in a state of movement, but the movement should be moderate.

if you move reasonably, you must master it? Seeking quietness in motion? The law, never lightly blind,? Is there something in the static when moving, and something in the static when moving? .

When you want to make a move, you must first devote yourself to quietness. In the case of dynamic changes between the pusher and the pusher, you must be clear-headed, take the lead in consciousness, assess the situation under the guidance of passion, adjust your focus, and make clear the difference between reality and reality, prioritize accordingly, be stable in movement, seek change in stability, change in order, coordinate internally and externally, run through one after another, know yourself and know yourself, and neutral equilibrium. Can the spirit afford it? ，? God should be restrained? .

　? Nothing moves? ，? When moving, it is like a river and a tsunami, and the waves are soaring, and it is like an eagle catching a rabbit, which is swift and accurate. .

if you have the opportunity, you will take the initiative to attack without losing the opportunity. If you have the opportunity but not the power, you should attack even if you have got the other side's position. What's the boxing formula? It's hard to be fine without hairdressing. That's what it means.

generally speaking, you can attack if you don't have the opportunity to gain momentum. When you are in a losing situation, you must analyze and master the other side's situation. If the other side listens well, responds quickly, and has good waist and leg skills, you can't make a move.

if you want to make a move, you must not put all your eggs in one basket and fall into a passive position. The purpose is to test each other, get news and then make a decision.

once, a tough middle-aged man pushed my hand to discuss with me. After hand-holding, the two sides clung to each other's right wrist, and my left hand was placed behind each other's left shoulder. In order to test each other and force them to respond, I suddenly made a move first, and my right hand picked him, so he used to lean in with me.

at this point, I had the opportunity to turn left immediately, and at the same time, my left hand hooked his left shoulder and my right hand coordinated with me, forcing me to fall to the ground afterwards.

when I have no opportunity and no potential, I must never attack blindly. Instead, I should adopt the method of introducing failed, resorting to tactics, waiting for the arrival of the standby potential, or creating a favorable opportunity to attack.

boxing classics? Can the kinetic energy be static, the boxing is sacred, but the movement is not static, and the boxing is sick? .

　? Tai Chi moves extremely quietly, and the quietness is extremely vivid, and the movement and quietness are mutually rooted? . Can you realize that the dynamic and static complement each other? With static braking, seek static while moving? The true meaning. ;
