I used to watch others beat Tai Ji Chuan, especially when I was watching movies. I thought Tai Ji Chuan was mysterious. I remember a movie in which Zhang Sanfeng, the "ancestor of Tai Chi", played Tai Chi with great strength, while the learners only played Tai Chi for putting on airs. I've always been confused. Now I have learned the Twenty-four Tai Ji Chuan, and I know a little about it. One of the functions of Tai Chi is self-defense, with emphasis on exerting strength. Playing tai chi requires flowing water and taking advantage of the trend. The so-called potential is divided into internal and external. Internal potential refers to the frequency of breathing and the tightness of muscles, while external potential refers to the posture, position, speed, strength and movement trend of the other person and himself. If you practice Tai Chi, you can advance and retreat freely, and there is no gap between attack and defense.

Compared with Changquan, Tai Ji Chuan's movements are slow, his posture is stable, and he can advance and retreat freely. He mainly takes circular movements and pays attention to the coordination of breath. Playing Artest Jichuan is a whole-hearted exercise. When practicing, the coordination of breath and movement needs peace of mind; In addition, every movement has an image, which allows practitioners to integrate body and mind and feel the smooth operation of "internal force" in the movements of every part of the body. Circular motion is beneficial to the movement of breath in the body. Slow movements encourage practitioners to focus on key movements. Stable posture is the basis of smooth movement, while keeping pace with the times expands the movement space of breath. In this way, practicing Tai Ji Chuan can make people feel comfortable and bright while exercising.

Tai Ji Chuan's study is relatively simple, but it contains the essence of Tai Ji Chuan. Therefore, in order to give full play to Tai Ji Chuan's greatest efficacy, it is necessary to move accurately and breathe harmoniously. Many movements in the tuck squat, such as hugging, squatting, turning around and pushing hands, are of great exercise value in coordination with lunges and the movement of the center of gravity. Slightly bent legs control the center of gravity of the whole body, and swing arms drive the movement of the upper body, so that the whole body can get coordinated exercise. Retract arm is a difficult formula and requires high stability. Because the practice needs to turn on one foot, which is connected with the imaginary steps, the speed is slow, so the practitioner should have enough endurance and physical coordination ability.

Tai Ji Chuan can't learn it in a short time. Only after a lot of practice and learning from the masters can he really learn well. Tai Ji Chuan's fitness function will benefit everyone for a long time.

I am a retired cadre of Qihe County Bureau (Marketing Department) in Texas. I didn't like sports before and suffered from severe hypercoagulability. But by playing Tai Ji Chuan, my health is getting better and better.

In the summer of 2009, I went to a sanatorium in Linyi City to recuperate. According to my medical history, the sanatorium asked me to take exercise therapy, such as hitting Tai Ji Chuan. Since then, I have been insisting on hitting Tai Ji Chuan. Practice has proved that Tai Ji Chuan is a good exercise and can really keep fit. In June this year, the unit organized a physical examination, and all the items I checked were normal.

After playing in Tai Ji Chuan for more than a year, I have several profound experiences, that is, you should have determination, concentration and understanding when playing in Tai Ji Chuan. First of all, we should have the determination to beat Tai Ji Chuan and practice for half an hour every morning. We should not give up halfway. Secondly, when learning to practice Tai Ji Chuan, we should concentrate, watch more videos, listen to more lectures and see how famous artists play. In the process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we should be savvy, constantly explore the theory and skills of boxing, and improve our boxing level.

I usually practice in the morning. I'll drink a glass of light salt water first, and then concentrate on practicing boxing. In relaxation, quietness, uniformity, lightness and softness, all distractions are eliminated, breathing naturally, and the mood is calm, so that the internal qi is full and the internal organs are exercised.

Playing Tai Ji Chuan can not only exercise, but also hone your will. When I exchanged experiences with my boxers, I also learned a lot about life. At present, I can play simplified Tai Ji Chuan and 42-style Tai Ji Chuan, and I am studying and practicing 42-style Taiji sword.

A shallow understanding requires practice, and we should stick to it and enjoy it.
