Chen Lao slowly opened his posture, wrapped his hands into a virtual circle, and then said slowly: "Like all Taijiquan, Sun's Taijiquan is also intentionally not forceful. In terms of playing style, Sun's Taijiquan emphasizes technical strikes, and in terms of practice, it emphasizes fitness and health preservation. For Feng Shui masters, Sun's Tai Chi is a good way to regulate one's body and mind and keep one's mood at peace. Sun-style Taijiquan was created by Mr. Sun Lutang, Sun's Taijiquan has carried out an ingenious reconstruction of a variety of boxing techniques such as Xingyi, Bagua, Taiji, etc., pursuing a high degree of unity in the form and connotation of movement, not taking the difficulty of the action level as valuable, and pursuing a high degree of coordination between meaning and form. ”

As he spoke, Old Chen's figure had already turned, and with the coordinated movements of his hands and feet, although it was not fast, it was very clear at a glance.

Tang Chen looked at this slow boxing technique, and said in his heart: "Is it really useful to practice like this?"

Although he had doubts in his heart, Tang Chen didn't say it.

Chen Lao seemed to have no distractions, and said slowly while boxing: "The essentials of Sun's Taijiquan are: progress must follow, regression must follow, agile movements, round and compact, like flowing clouds, continuous, every left and right turn to open and close.

The most essential feature of Sun's Taijiquan is that the integration of the inside and outside of Xingyi Boxing and the integration of movement and static of Bagua Boxing are integrated into the neutralization state of Taijiquan. There is no fluctuation of the center of gravity when walking the frame, and there is no problem of shaking left and right, and the center of gravity is constantly changing through live steps.

Sun's Taijiquan, from the starting style to the closing style, all kinds of movements require the middle to be stable, stretching and round, compact and coherent, and complete in one go. It makes the whole body develop evenly inside and outside, motionless, and still. It is precisely because the center is not leaning forward and backward, and does not lean left and right, so that the body and hands and feet echo up and down, and the inside and outside are one. Therefore, the boxing and handicapping must be behaved.

When practicing boxing, you should not cross the word 'medium'. If you can understand the word 'in' in the practice of boxing, you can grasp your center of gravity and not lose your center of gravity. Breathing can be kept normal, breathing normally, in order to have a smooth pulse.

The so-called 'progress must follow, regression must be withdrawn', in fact, is a way of displacement. This way of moving, under long-term use, can make the center of gravity submergence and the ability to integrate movement and static, and can also make the upper and lower follow each other, hand and brother. In this unique move, it is a must.

Practicing Sun's Taijiquan, whenever you turn around, you mostly open and close your hands. There are twelve opening and closing hands in Sun's Taijiquan, which divides the routine into thirteen sections. Whenever you turn around, you can open and close your hands to connect with each other, which can guide the body to switch between virtual and real with the center of gravity, and the internal qi to operate on its own. The opening and closing hands facilitate the flow of breath in the body and coordinate with the shift of the center of gravity. The arrangement of opening and closing hands, when practicing boxing, can also dredge the meridians and unblock the blood veins.

When practicing Sun's Taijiquan, it is necessary to be attentive and standby, not to be outward, to distinguish between the virtual and the real, and to always not lose the key points of Liuhe. Don't stick to what boxing routines, everywhere you have to guide according to the situation, and all kinds of strength methods can be transformed with the change of the center of gravity, so as to be like flowing clouds and water, continuous, and gentle and even.

Sun-style Taijiquan pays attention to 'avoiding three evils and guarding nine essentials', avoiding three evils, that is, when practicing boxing, avoid exertion, clumsiness and shyness and abdomen;

In short, Sun's Taijiquan is a gentle, slow, and light boxing technique, which has the functions of self-defense, fitness, health, and self-cultivation. Sun's Taijiquan combines physical movement with mental activities, using the mind to guide the movement of the body, guiding the flow of qi and blood, and achieving the cultivation of both form and spirit, spirit and body. With long-term practice, it can naturally dispel diseases and prolong life, health and longevity. ”

When Chen Lao finished saying this, the ninety-eight-style old frame boxing score happened to be finished.

"How's it going, do you see it clearly?"

After Chen Lao regained his momentum, he asked with a smile.

Everyone shook their heads, even if Chen Lao's movements were not fast, but under the many routines, it was good to remember one or two percent.

After all, everyone present is not a martial arts wizard, and they can remember all the moves at a glance.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember, Sun's Taijiquan doesn't pay attention to moves, but focuses on the change of steps. Chen Lao said with a smile, "You all have a certain foundation of Yili, and it is very fast to learn Sun's Taijiquan." Sun's Taijiquan has the saying of 'shed squeezing and pressing, taking example elbow leaning, advancing and retreating and looking forward to determination', 'shed squeezing and pressing' is the four squares of kan, separation, earthquake and exchange, and 'taking example elbow leaning', that is, the four oblique angles of Qian, Kun, Gen and Xun, that is, they are born from the eight trigrams. 'Progress, regression, left looking, right looking, and neutralization' are the representatives of the five elements of 'metal, wood, water, fire, and earth'. The four positive and four oblique mentioned before are the thirteen potentials of Taijiquan. If you understand the thirteen potentials of Taijiquan, you will be able to understand the principles of boxing. If the fist is reasonable, then the moves or whatever, it doesn't matter. ”

Wang Dongxu had practiced simplified Taijiquan after all, and asked suspiciously: "Old Chen, why is this Sun's Taijiquan so many repetitive movements? Like a knee-hugging step, a single whip, a hand waving a pipa, and a white crane shining its wings, I see it more than once, right?"

Chen Lao Zhengse said: "This involves the style of play. The repetitive movements are actually the defensive posture of Tai Chi. As we all know, Tai Chi is a kind of preemptive boxing that is extremely defensive. It is necessary to be invincible first, and then look for the enemy's flaws, so as to knock down the enemy with the most effortless method and the most accurate angle. Although we do not pay attention to hurting the enemy, we pay great attention to self-preservation. ”

Wang Dongxu understood: "So that's the case, no wonder there are a lot of repetitive movements in simplified Taijiquan, it turns out to be this truth!"

"Old Chen, then how are we going to start practicing? Is it to disassemble one move at a time? Or do we teach some of them first?"

Qian Lao asked anxiously.

Chen Lao smiled: "There is no need to be so troublesome, you can just follow me to fight, pay attention to the position under my feet." ”

"That's it?"

Wang Dongxu was a little unexpected, when he learned to simplify Taijiquan before, he also slowly dismantled it one move at a time.

"Sun's Taijiquan is heavy and light. Chen Lao said, "If you understand the boxing theory, the moves will also change." When used properly, it's all about one mind. ”

Zeng Lao was a little unconvinced: "So mysterious?"

"It's not mysterious, you have to know that there are really geniuses in this world. If a genius understands the principles of boxing, he will be able to follow the principles of boxing to find the most suitable moves, and even figure out how to deal with the enemy by himself!" Chen Lao smiled, "Anyway, we are practicing to strengthen our bodies, and if we are so entangled in the moves, we will fall behind." There are not many movements in the old boxing book, you have done it hundreds of times, and you probably remember it. ”
