Tai Chi requires the unity of opposites everywhere, and all parts of the body form contradictions like scissors. As a result, our shoulders are also particularly difficult to train. It's not like boxing or outside boxing, where you punch your shoulders out.
It is common for some people to practice tai chi, and the shoulders are obviously wrong, such as shrugging when raising the hand, and the shoulder also falling when the hand is dropped. This is the mistake of not separating yin and yang.
The correct way is: when raising the hand, the shoulder should not shrug, this is the minimum requirement, the correct is that the shoulder should be heavy; when the hand is dropped, the shoulder should not be drooped, the correct is that the shoulder should be lifted; when the hand is raised, the shoulder should be turned back; when the hand is closed, the shoulder should be pushed outward. Everywhere there is opposition, and it is necessary to coordinate and form unity.
Shrugging and sagging shoulders are typical of scrubbing clothes and single whips, and when the hand is turned up, the shoulders are shrugged up, and when they are turned down, they are also drooping. The arms and shoulders are inseparable, not only inseparable, but also angry. This is the absence of yin and yang, or the lack of yin and yang. In modern philosophy, there is no opposition. Loosening, not only the muscles are soft and the joints are flexible, but also the relevant parts must be practiced so that they can be separated, and then they can be coordinated and closed after separation.
The most typical way to punch out the shoulder is to cover your hands and pound your humerus, and when you punch out, you send your body to the shoulder like a boxer. Our Tai Chi should collapse and collapse the shoulders, the shoulders should have convulsions, and the front hair should collapse. The body part turns backward and walks forward vigorously, like a wheel, the arm is the forward part, and the body is the backward part.
All punches, hammers, and cannons have this feature.
Hong-style Taijiquan practice before and after the collapse should be practiced from the second movement of the six seals and four closures, one-handed small method, when the hand goes out, the step should be in place to become a coiled step, the body should collapse, and it will be practiced over time.
It is extremely difficult to clip everywhere and turn in the opposite direction everywhere. Because people's usual habit is to move the same group of muscle groups in the same direction, the same arm and leg in one direction, and half of the body in one direction, while Tai Chi is the opposite, we have to practice to separate them, be able to separate them, and move in the opposite direction. Therefore, true tai chi is always practiced differently for everyone because it is too difficult.
Many people don't know this law, of course, they don't pay attention to it when they practice, and they think that it is right to go with the flow, but they don't know that it should be the nature of boxing.
This scissor-like force can form a unified combination of opposites, for example, the mountain that blocks the clothes, the legs must be pushed forward, and the arms must be forced back, so as to form a joint force, it is easy to knock the other party down, at least the legs can not move back with the arms, otherwise the strength will be lost, at least it has to not move, block the opponent's legs. It would be better if you could help your arm exert force, and that is the principle of Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is full of this kind of movement law, and learners should consciously pursue it. Otherwise, you'll always be a layman.
