#为什么太极拳不能实战搏击?#太极拳作为中国传统武术的瑰宝, many people question its actual combat ability, thinking that Taijiquan cannot fight in actual combat! So, can Taijiquan fight in actual combat?
Now, with the widespread rise of modern combat sports, the actual combat ability of Tai Chi has indeed been subject to some doubts and controversies. But in fact, Tai Chi is not incapable of actual combat.
Taijiquan emphasizes the use of softness to overcome rigidity, static braking, and pays attention to the cultivation of internal strength and the use of skills. In actual combat, the moves of Taijiquan seem to be slow, as if they are not as brave and ferocious as the movements of free fighters, but Taijiquan contains deep internal strength and exquisite skills.
The actual combat fighting kung fu of Taijiquan requires a variety of techniques such as body method, footwork, fist method, leg method, etc., and at the same time, it also needs to flexibly use the principles of yin and yang, virtual and real, etc., in order to have an advantage in battle.
Practitioners of Tai Chi need to go through a long period of practice and hone before they can truly grasp its essence and exert its powerful power in actual combat.
In addition, Tai Chi has two major effects: health care and self-defense. An important reason why Tai Chi is left with the impression that it cannot be used in actual combat is because the vast majority of people practice Tai Chi today, which focuses on health care exercises for the purpose of exercising the body, rather than traditional Tai Chi martial arts!
That is to say, the majority of enthusiasts who practice Tai Chi now are all sports Tai Chi rather than Kung Fu Tai Chi. In this way, of course, it is not Tai Chi in the actual sense.
The actual combat ability of Taijiquan is not impossible, but it requires practitioners to find the right direction and put in more effort and time to study and practice.
