Tai Chi, an ancient and profound oriental martial arts form, has attracted countless martial arts enthusiasts with its unique charm since ancient times. For most ordinary people, the profundity of Tai Chi is difficult to understand, and it is difficult to see a real Tai Chi master. This is not only due to the complexity of the mystery of Tai Chi itself, but also the limitations of social environment and personal cognition.
The essence of Tai Chi is “using softness to overcome hardness” and “four ounces to move a thousand pounds”. This kind of profound skill cannot be understood and mastered overnight. It requires long-term practice and understanding. For most people who have not received systematic education, Tai Chi only stays on the surface and it is difficult to get its essence.
As for the current Tai Chi masters, it can be said that they are rare. People who can really be called Tai Chi masters not only need to have superb boxing skills, but also need to have a deep cultural heritage and life experience. Only through long-term practice and understanding, and integrating the essence of Tai Chi into life and behavior, can we achieve the state of “unity of boxing and people”. Such people are a minority after all, and most people can only look up to them.
For ordinary people like us, learning Tai Chi is to exercise and strengthen our physical fitness. By practicing Tai Chi, we can improve the flexibility and coordination of the body, enhance muscle strength and endurance, and improve cardiopulmonary function and immunity. Keep healthy. The practice of Tai Chi can also help us relieve stress, regulate emotions, and improve the quality of life.
So ordinary people like us should not blindly pursue the skill of Tai Chi. Practicing Tai Chi is a process of enjoyment and relaxation, not a burden and pressure. You should choose the practice method and intensity that suits you according to your physical condition. Don’t hurt your knees when practicing. If you feel uncomfortable in your knees, stop practicing. You must know that there are many people who hurt their knees when practicing Tai Chi. Don’t hurt your body instead of exercising well.
During the practice process, you must pay attention to the standardization and accuracy of the movements, and don’t pursue skill too much. You must maintain a good attitude and don’t care about what others think. Just enjoy the fun that Tai Chi brings you. You must know that a person’s good attitude also determines a person’s physical health and the quality of life. Having a good attitude is more important than anything else!
