Chapter 53: The teacher is satisfied

During the National Day holiday, there is also a Saturday, and since it is a rest day, the sports school will open as usual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This morning, Zhuang Zhuang and Tingting set off from home at 8:30 and ran to the sports school training ground for ten minutes.

There was no one on the training ground yet, Zhuang Zhuang and Tingting were moving their bodies on their respective training grounds, waiting for the arrival of teachers and classmates.

Teacher Chen walked over from the bungalow and walked straight into the Tai Chi training ground. He saw Zhuang Zhuang preparing for the event and said happily: "Zhuang Zhuang, come to a whirlwind foot." ”

Zhuang Zhuang turned around and saw Teacher Chen coming, first said hello, and then made a preparatory move. Hold your left foot out, touch your toes on your toes, raise your left arm flat and raise your left palm, and raise your right arm up with your right palm. Then the left foot falls to the ground, the right foot strides to the left side to support the ground, the body reverses and jumps, the left leg is bent, the right leg is buckled with the rotation of the body, the right foot and the left palm hit each other, with a snap, the left and right feet fall to the ground successively.

"Good!" Teacher Chen shouted with satisfaction, "Another one with his right foot landing first." ”

Zhuang Zhuang froze for a moment: the right foot landed first? How to do this?

The standard whirlwind foot is the left foot that lands first, because the right foot should be high-fived with the inward buckle foot. After the right foot has done this series of movements, it must have landed after the left foot landed. Now to let the right foot land first, you must speed up the movement of the right foot, and before the left foot hits the ground, the right foot must land first. This move is at least twice as difficult as the standard Whirlwind Foot move.

Zhuang Zhuang pondered for a moment, then gestured again, and then began to do the whirlwind foot with his right foot landing first. He still made a preparatory position first, then moved his left foot sideways, stepped to the left with his right foot, turned and jumped, his left leg bent, his right leg quickly buckled in and hit his left palm, and then landed. But the body did not stand firmly, and jumped backwards.

Although the body did not stand firm for the first time, Zhuang Zhuang realized the essentials of this movement and felt that this movement was not very difficult, as long as the speed of the right foot movement was increased, there would be no problem. So he did it again. This time, after making a series of movements, the right foot landed on the ground before the left foot, and it was very stable.

"Good!" Teacher Chen shouted again, "Another one who landed on one leg with his right call." ”

Landing on one leg? Zhuang Zhuang thought quickly. Then the prep pose is unveiled, and then the whirlwind feet are started. After doing all the movements, the right foot landed firmly on the ground, and the left leg was still bent.

"Very good!" Teacher Chen shouted with satisfaction, and then walked to Zhuangzhuang's side, "Your basic skills are very good, so it is not difficult to deepen the whirlwind foot for two steps." But learning this movement well is only the beginning, and there are many actions that can be followed by this movement in the future. Let's take our time! After saying that, he walked to the other students.

In such a short period of time, Zhuang Zhuang deepened the movement of the whirlwind foot by two steps, one was the first to land with the right foot, and the other was to land on one foot with the right foot. These two steps to go out make the strong whirlwind foot action have a qualitative leap, and it is more convenient to use.

At nine o'clock, the students stood in line again, and Zhuang Zhuang saw that there seemed to be a few people who did not come, and it was estimated that they were traveling. Teacher Chen didn't say anything, he led everyone to continue to learn the sixteen-style Taijiquan, so that Zhuang Zhuang could continue to practice the basic skills.

Zhuang Zhuang stepped aside and began to practice the basics. And use this opportunity to consolidate the whirlwind feet that you have just practiced.

This is the third time I have attended a Tai Chi training class. I didn't learn anything these three times, and I just practiced the basics. He now has a strong interest in practicing the basics and has realized the wonders of practicing the basics.

Teacher Chen explained the last four forms of 16-style Taijiquan to everyone, and then took everyone to do it twice. In the end, he asked Zhong Sheng to lead everyone to do sixteen styles of Taijiquan, and he came to Zhuang Zhuang's side: he explained the eight styles of Taijiquan to Zhuang Zhuang.

There are eight movements in the eight-style Taijiquan, namely the inverted macro roll, the knee and the reluctant step, the wild horse mane, the cloud hand, the golden rooster independence, the kicking foot, the tail of the bird, and the cross hand, which is the introductory boxing method of Taijiquan, there is no difficult action, it is not difficult to learn, and Zhuang Zhuang quickly mastered it.

Teacher Chen told him that the center of gravity should be low, the movements should be soft, the movements should be soft and rigid, and the qi should be smooth, and these points should be well reflected in the boxing, not just do those few movements. Those movements are easy, but it's harder to get through those four points.

First of all, it takes effort to achieve a low center of gravity, and if you don't work hard, the center of gravity can't be low. Secondly, it takes more kung fu to do the action, the hard fist is easy to fight, stretch out your hand and hit hard, while the soft fist is not easy to fight, and the soft strength is not easy to master. Again, it's more difficult to be soft and rigid. The action is soft, but the movement should be rigid, how to bring? Where did it just appear? The last qi is even more difficult, you have to carry the qi in the boxing, and you have to bring the qi wherever the action hits, so that the internal qi goes with the action, which is really impossible to do without a little qigong foundation.

Mr. Chen also said that this is all his experience in boxing, as long as these four principles are implemented well, this punch will be almost done. He also emphasized that don't listen to some people's nonsense, because you can't do it if you listen to those words too much.

Finally, Teacher Chen also deliberately played a set of eight-style Taijiquan and watched it carefully. Teacher Chen's center of gravity is obviously low, but this low is different from ordinary people playing tai chi, which makes the viewer feel very hard; The movements are soft and smooth, like flowing clouds, without a sense of stagnation, very smooth and coherent; The shot is soft with rigidity, rigidity and softness, just hidden in softness, soft wrapped in rigidity, as if a shot can shatter everything.

The last principle of "unobstructed qi" is not visible, Zhuang Zhuang just feels that Mr. Chen's breathing is even, and it is also possible that the qi in his body is running in his body during the breath, and it is flowing with the change of movements.

About a minute and a half, after Mr. Chen finished playing the eight-style Taijiquan, he said to Zhuang Zhuang, "You just practice according to the style I just played." With that, he walked over to the majority.

Zhuang Zhuang understood what the teacher meant, taught and taught, watched and watched, and finally practiced by himself. So Zhuang Zhuang began to practice the Eight Styles of Tai Chi alone.

When class was about to end, the students gathered again and lined up in two rows. Teacher Chen said to everyone, "Tell me two things. The first one, next Saturday due to the long holiday, there is no rest, so we will suspend the class once. Second, starting from the beginning of November, our training class will hold a basic skills competition, and finally select the top three, I hope you will seize the month to practice well. For the students who didn't come today, the class president bell is responsible for informing them. Alright, class! ”

The students walked out of the training ground in groups and walked towards the gate. Zhuang Zhuang wanted to wait for Tingting and walked to the edge of the training ground. Teacher Chen walked over and said, "Zhuangzhuang, if you enter the class a little later, you can not participate in the basic skills competition." ”

"I'll participate, I will definitely participate!" Zhuang Zhuang was afraid that he would not let him participate and said anxiously, "I have been practicing basic skills, so I want to test how well I practice!" ”

"I can see that your basic skills have improved significantly this week, and if you practice hard, you will definitely get good results." Teacher Chen encouraged.

"Okay, I'll go back and practice hard and try to get good results." Zhuang Zhuang said as sonorously as if expressing determination.

"Okay, you must practice hard!" Teacher Chen told him to walk in the direction of the office.

Looking at the back of Teacher Chen walking away, Zhuang Zhuang gritted his teeth vigorously: I must practice the basic skills well and strive to be the first in the class.

Tingting walked over after class and said, "Let's go!" After saying that, the two walked together in the direction of the gate. She continued, "You started Tai Chi today? ”

"I learned an eight-style Taijiquan," Zhuang Zhuang replied, "This punch is quite interesting, it is very soft to fight, but there is a huge amount of power in it, this punch is so suitable for me!" ”

"Then you can practice hard!" After Tingting finished speaking, both of them laughed.
