The mistaken ideas of learning Tai Chi

Prone to misunderstandings in the process of learning Tai Chi, and these seemingly small mistakes if you can't solve, often misleading our Tai Chi students. Here, I simply summed up in the process of learning Tai Chi is prone to misunderstandings, all shadow boxing fans for reference.

Mistake: starting on establishing Chinese Kung Fu, master, make history.

Contacts of many beginner Tai Chi students, no not have become masters such as Zhang sanfeng, Yang, determined to promote the Chinese martial arts, become a generation of Tai Chi master. Here, I personally think that learning Tai Chi is best to hold the ordinary mind. Studied taijiquan's main purpose is to keep fit. Learning Tai Chi's journey is long and hard, will not be easy (not, of course, excludes a small number of people away is smooth). First of all find the master, learning Tai Chi find understand Tai Chi teacher learning taijiquan can be said to be the first, most difficult to mark. Unable to find find what learn Tai Chi Tai Chi teacher talk about the real power will be reduced to empty talk. Second chance, taijiquan is the best natural, opportunity. Just have a lot of, a lot of people standing in front of the master did not always know which is the real Tai Chi masters, because he is unable to properly identify, in most people's mind is up to TV and the flying sand and rolling pebbles in a book, softness, jump jump jump, it's hard to chose Primeton¡¯s really work. Even met a true master, or in front of a master for some time, but for various reasons (for example two people temper cast, such as improper teacher teaching methods, such as his teacher, misunderstanding, suspicion in the Middle, and so on) also broke, so I have become common.

Misconceptions II: think learning Tai Chi can cut corners, tricky psychological.

Taijiquan is martial arts, learning Tai Chi is a solid project, not a moment of an opportunist mentality. It is survive to get real Kung Fu, with the construction of skyscrapers is the same way, first laying foundations and building foundations than the ground floor is also important, but also in-depth, permit no dishonesty. Many students who said at the end of the fist, fist can be Tai Chi every day our real power, it was an opportunist mentality. Many students visit teachers around to learn Tai Chi, a teacher there, how many days or even years, the teacher is just basic, not about boxing, and last do sth. in a fit of pique, and said, "teacher conservative doesn't teach Kung Fu", "this is a Kung Fu teacher does not have" and so on. As everyone knows, is not a conservative teacher, teacher wanted you to build the world's most high, so to give you basic skills of taiji for long time, taught boxing teacher students turned away is not true.

Myth three: looking for advanced art of taijiquan.

The art of taijiquan and other categories of WUSH are the same.

I have heard many people talk about the art of taijiquan problem: no art of taijiquan; a taiji esoteric small frame, it is specially used for the art, otherwise you wouldn't be art; push hands practice after stepping on flowers to real art, and so on. Of even our youngest online Tai Chi students to the art of taijiquan problem, and open water on traditional Wushu and Sanda fighting. As everyone knows, is the art of taijiquan, the art of Tai Chi and other martial art is much the same. Art from the bow of traditional Wushu horse punch to start practicing, whether it be inside family fist, wife ' s maiden home punch, if light appears as there is no art training, only after the teacher to talk about change-over, constantly studying progress in the actual combat, can talk about the art of practical problems. Like boxing, Sanda competitions, have you seen any other genius athletes have learned theoretical knowledge alone, get straight, swing, hook in the ring directly after you have a champion or good grades? which not many years of beating out results in the field. Traditional martial arts as well, must go through the process, and not just traditional Wushu is such, the categories of science and technology of the world is true. This is the truth! not fantasy!

Myth four: think learning taijiquan alone can be Tai Chi skills.

Taiji predecessors always said words: Tai Chi Kung Fu in his fist. Which means you need to punch, only in boxing can you get real Kung Fu. But there's fist is a prerequisite, and after that to understand Tai Chi loose soft, again under the guidance of the teacher's right toe punches to get really work. I've seen a lot of taijiquan teacher to teach students is to teach with, talk about boxing, teach boxing fathers punch when you are finished, you're done speaking, why? because he doesn't understand Tai Chi pine soft. Teachers didn't know taiji loose soft, that students can learn to be true right?

Wang Zongyue master in fist on the said practice yujing know more after. So only after know Tai Chi pine soft to punch in the process, the more practiced, the more refined. Chi Gong is not CD fist so badly, to learn skills.

Myth five: Tai Chi "loose and flexible" is not a worldly possessions, the body itself is a natural characteristic.

I've had a lot of learning Tai Chi students, most of whom believe that Tai Chi is pine soft worldly possessions, only be trained through practice Tai Chi taiji loose upper body. In fact, this is wrong, "loose and soft" I think that: Taichi "pine-ROU" is one of the natural characteristics of the human body, is that all of us are there, were doped with various forces in the body, or chime in with something. We practice Tai Chi to soft dilution from the various forces, pine extract, sublime to empty, no.

Myth six: "loose and soft" is the entity that "nothing" is, this statement is wrong.

In an issue of the journal Kingwood see one author said: "loose" means limbs relax, is the entity, "empty", "no" means. The author believes that taijiquan, pine is the entity that is true, say "empty" refers to the ideology and is not comprehensive. If you simply believe that "nothing" is a fragmented taijiquan "empty" of objective reality, is that there is perception of a real, inherent taijiquan performance. "Empty" is both thought entity, is practiced in the mind, it is practice to the body of the entity, United, rather than split, like spirit and flesh is uniform, absence of spirit of the flesh.

In Tai Chi practice will have a lot of mistakes in the process, these mistakes as long as our Tai Chi students carefully, will overcome them one by one. Here I would like to summarize these several points for Honourable Members ' reference, with a view to giving our Tai Chi enthusiasts with little experience.
