Chapter 91: The Lecture (Part II)

Speaking of this, Tian Chuan said: "Everyone has heard me say so much, it may be a little boring, let me introduce you to some basic knowledge of Taijiquan, don't look back when someone asks, we have been practicing for so long, but we don't know these most basic things." ”

Next, he introduced the origin, development, and origin of each school of Taijiquan.

Then, Tagawa said, "I heard a rumor outside that the various schools of Tai Chi are not in good shape. It's just nonsense. From my introduction, you can see that the so-called different schools are actually born because of the different experiences of Taijiquan. When a person with a special experience of Taijiquan becomes a master and shocks the martial arts world, everyone will notice that his Taijiquan is different from the previous boxing methods, and after more people learn from him, a new school is born. ”

"In fact, everyone's experience of boxing is different, and it is even more obvious in actual combat. We can say that everyone has their own tai chi. ”

"From last year to now, I have participated in two national tai chi conferences. At the meeting, the seniors of various schools sat together to discuss the development of Taijiquan. People who see this scene, who dares to say that the relationship between the various genres is not harmonious?"

At the beginning of May this year, the national Taijiquan celebrities came to Beijing and gathered together to discuss the development methods of Taiji Tuishou, hoping to promote Taijituishou's to the people, so they established the grading method of Taijituan, competition rules, and coach qualification review. It is estimated that many students have not heard of this matter, so I will briefly introduce it here. ”

Tian Chuan pointed to the belt around his waist and said, "Do you see this belt?" There are black, white, and cyan belts, which are the lowest of the three ranks. Our Tai Chi Belt Grades include Black and White, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple and Gold, with Black being the lowest and Gold being the highest. My red is the upper-middle level. ”

He picked up one end of the belt, showed the colorful tassel on it to everyone, and said: "The tassel on this belt is the common level of coaches and referees. There are four levels in total, with the highest level and seven colors of tassels. The corresponding tassel colors of the second, third and fourth levels are red, yellow and blue, black and white, and pure white. When you sign up to learn, you must first learn to look at the color of the coach's belt, and don't make a mistake. ”

Then, he reminded everyone: "Please note that in our current Taijiquan world, only Master Sun Zhenying, the head of Sun-style Taijiquan, has been publicly recommended as the purple level, and the other heads and several respected seniors have been designated as the yellow level, and there are no more than 20 people at the red level, and the highest gold level is vacant, and you can find relevant information on several websites in the future projection." Don't be deceived when you're out learning boxing. ”

"Also, Tai Chi has to be registered for the assessment level, whether it is passed or not, it is charged, and the lower level is not expensive, ranging from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, and I need 500 yuan for a red level. The reason for the fee is that I will explain to you here that when the level is assessed, it is necessary to invite high-level fighters to the scene, it is necessary to organize the fee, and it is also necessary for the Taijiquan Sports Committee to review, register, issue certificates, and mail certificates. ”

"We usually do a rating twice a year, but the requirements for promotion are very high, and it is generally not a year or two to get to the next level. There is a great deal of variation between the different levels of Tai Chi, and it is rare for a lower level to win over a higher level. ”

Speaking of which, Tagawa played another video of the Taijiquan Association when they advanced to the exam, and at the same time introduced the requirements of the black and white exams.

At the end of the lecture, Tagawa turned the conversation back to the common questions in the exercises.

"Now back to our original question, there are still some problems that we often encounter when we first start practicing Tai Chi. For example, when many students started practicing, they asked, since competitive tai chi is different from the tai chi used by old ladies to exercise their bodies, what do we still practice routines?

"I have already explained this issue to many students in the association, and I will say it again here today. Tai Chi routines are summarized by the predecessors, and the basic movements of listening to the strength reaction are practiced. In the videos of pushing hands just now, we see that the various movements used in Tai Chi pushing hands are basically born from routine movements. The practice of routines can familiarize us with the necessary and correct movements when pushing hands, so that we will not subconsciously make wrong movements. Long-term practice of taolu can cultivate our habitual response to the basic movements of Taijiquan, which helps to speed up the reaction speed when pushing the hands and better deal with temporary situations. ”

"Tai Chi is a perception of strength. When the level is improved to a certain stage, it is very difficult to improve a little bit in many cases. The physical practice has reached a level close to the limit, and no further progress is only a psychological progress, that is, the progress of the perception of Tai Chi. Routine exercises, as well as observing others' routine exercises, can effectively gain insights and make progress. ”

"Furthermore, when we practice Tai Chi, most of the time we don't have a suitable pusher, so we can only practice alone. How does a person practice listening to strength? And the practice of routines effectively makes up for this inconvenience and brings a more reasonable practice method to everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Chuan smiled lightly and said, "There are two particularly huge effects of Tai Chi routine practice. One is that the routines can effectively exercise the body, soothe the muscles and bones, and finally achieve the effect of good health and longevity. The other is more important, when family and friends gather on a holiday, and an elder says, 'So-and-so, I heard that you practiced Tai Chi, show us it.' 'What are you going to do?' Can you say, 'Come on, let's push and see me put you on your heels?' Isn't it important that we can move the tables and chairs and put on a wonderful routine to open people's eyes?"

"With the development of Taijiquan to this day, taolu has become its typical representative form, and as a cultural inheritance, we can't ignore taolu, right?"

"People often ask me, I want to learn Tai Chi, which school of boxing is more suitable for me, which school of boxing is more powerful?"

"Actually, there is a misunderstanding in this regard. No matter which school, its essence is Tai Chi, the concept of force mode, listening strength and so on is almost the same, which school of learning is good, the key depends on which school of master we meet. After the practice reaches a certain height, the factor that affects the victory or defeat is no longer a matter of the school, but the amount of effort put into the effort, and how profound the perception of Taijiquan is. ”

"My first exposure was to the most common and common simplified 24 forms of Tai Chi, which was shown in the first video. Then I had the opportunity to get in touch with Sun-style boxing, so my boxing path was closer to Sun-style. Later, I had the opportunity to learn Yang style and Chen style boxing, which also helped me a lot. I think that the ultimate state of each boxing technique is almost the same, which is the so-called 'ten thousand methods are one'. ”

Some students asked, I'm already 20 years old, is it too late to learn Tai Chi now? It depends on what your purpose is in learning Tai Chi. Generally speaking, the purpose of learning Taijiquan is nothing more than this: one is to learn martial arts and defend oneself, one is to exercise and prolong life, one is to pretend to be cool and handsome to attract girls, one is to inherit the tradition and win glory for the country, and one is to simply like it, so I want to practice. ”

"Please look up at the common purpose of practicing Tai Chi on the big screen, which one says that adults can't practice? If a classmate says that I practice boxing to surpass everyone else and become the number one in the world, then I may not really be able to help you. Many people start boxing at a very young age, and how many Tysons are there in the world? We all start studying since we were young, and who of you is the provincial champion in the college entrance examination? Set your goals lower first, and then gradually adjust them as you progress in kung fu, and set goals separately at each stage, which will help you increase your confidence and make progress more easily. ”

"Please remember that it is better to practice than not to practice, and it is better to start practicing than to sit here and discuss whether you should practice or not. We are all already adults, and the efficiency of practice may be slower than that of children, which is our shortcoming. However, Tai Chi is very conscious, and our minds are more mature than children, and it is easier to perceive the meaning of boxing, which is our strength. What the final achievement will be, I dare not make casual judgments. To tell you the truth, I started practicing at the age of sixteen, and I didn't have a formal apprenticeship, and I mainly relied on my own practice routines in the early stage, until last year, when I came into contact with a few mentors and friends, and now I don't also wear a red belt. ”

"I advise students who have the idea of practicing boxing to do it when they think of it, and don't waste time in hesitation. ”

"Some people may have doubts, I have to pay hundreds of yuan to practice boxing for each level, and it is too expensive to practice tai chi. My opinion is that it is very cost-effective to practice boxing. Why do you say that? The examination is voluntary, and you don't have to spend money if you don't take the exam. Joining the Taijiquan Association, as long as 10 yuan a year, you can use the association's books and video materials for free, you can practice boxing with many students, and you can also find opponents of the same level and different styles when practicing pushers. ”

"I estimate that from the second half of the year, there will be a fee-based Taijiquan gym to open, and the cost of signing up for boxing there should be between 10 and 20 yuan per hour, but it is not as cost-effective as ours. ”

After Tian Chuan's lecture, he spent some time answering questions from the audience, and everyone asked a variety of questions, including the time of boxing, the role of actual combat on the progress of boxing skills, whether it is necessary to formally kowtow to the teacher for boxing, and the girl asked if Tian Chuan had a girlfriend, and all kinds of questions. Tagawa replied one by one.

Although the whole questioning process was a bit chaotic, no one deliberately made trouble. Tagawa became famous on the day the Taijiquan Association was founded, and no one tried to challenge his fighting power anymore.

At the end of the event, everyone strongly invited Tagawa to perform Tai Chi routines for everyone, and Tagawa agreed. According to the habits of ordinary practice boxing, he started from the Sun style 73 style, followed by the Yang style 74 style, then the Chen style old frame, and finally simplified the Tai Chi 24 style, compared with the general Tai Chi routine performance, Tian Chuan's routine frame is higher, the speed is faster, not so heavy and slow, and it seems more lively and agile. Ten minutes later, after several sets of boxing techniques were practiced, the audience watched quietly, and no one made a sound, as if they were all attracted.

After the routine was finished, Tian Chuan specially introduced the two tricks of Sun-style "lazy tie-yi" and Yang-style "catching the bird's tail": "Lazy tying clothes is a typical trick of Sun-style, and its original intention is that when you start with people in a hurry, you don't have time to change your practice clothes, so you can only lift the placket of the robe with one hand and tuck it on the belt, and raise your hand with the other hand to prepare to meet the enemy." Last year, I saw this move when the old man Sun Zhenying, the head of the Sun style, performed the routine, and I felt a lot of feelings, and my boxing skills have improved a lot, and I especially like to use this move as a preparation for the enemy in the future. It was from the comprehension of this trick that my pusher skills began to surpass Liu Meiting's. ”

He paused, let everyone digest the content of their words, and then said: "The other move is the representative move in the Yang-style boxing method, and it can also be said to be the representative move of all Taijiquan schools, 'Catching the Bird's Tail'", he said, he demonstrated the action of "Pulling the Bird's Tail", and said: "Why do you say that? Because this move, 'Pulling the Bird's Tail', is composed of four parts, and these four parts are the 'Four Positives' technique in the Tai Chi Tui hand, squeezing, squeezing, and pressing. When we generally practice pushing hands, we start with the cycle of these 'four positive' techniques, which are also the root of all the techniques used in Tai Chi pushing hands. Now we have invited Zeng Wenxuan, a youth master of our Taijiquan Association, to demonstrate the Four Positive Push Hands Cycle with me. ”

In the applause of the audience, Zeng Wenxuan walked up to the stage, stretched out his hand with Tian Chuan, and carried out the circular practice of four positive push hands. I saw that the two of them were two beats apart, and they took turns to use a trick to "catch the bird's tail", which has an endless meaning.

After the lecture, the Taijiquan Association ushered in a new round of registration*, with nearly 100 students signing up to join the association.

The holiday is coming soon, and many students want to borrow some books from the association to go back to practice, and after discussing with several leaders of the association, Tian Chuan agreed that each person can borrow a book. For those who asked to borrow video materials, they all refused, because the video materials were too easy to be damaged, and I was not at ease.
