I have been fond of martial arts since childhood. I first learned Shaolin Boxing. In the 1960s, I switched to Tai Chi. I have learned and practiced Yang Style, Wu Style, and Chen Style Tai Chi. I have learned and practiced both the large frame and the small frame of Chen Style Tai Chi. . In the 1980s, he studied under Hong Junsheng of Shandong Province and specialized in Chen-style silk-winding technique. After 2000, he specialized in Taoist inner elixir techniques and practiced Tai Chi inner energy.
Practicing Tai Chi is similar to learning calligraphy. To learn calligraphy, start by tracing red seals, then choose a copybook, and copy the same. When it looks very similar, change to another copybook and practice. One or two copybook exercises will lay a solid foundation, and then you can observe various schools of calligraphy, absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools, integrate them, and form your own style. There is no need to insist on which font it looks like.
The same is true for learning Tai Chi. You start practicing a style and lay a solid foundation. Only when you reach a certain level can you absorb the strengths of various schools, integrate them into your own boxing, and gradually form your own style. and features. Ten disciples of the same master are all the same, and the same principle applies. There are two main styles of Tai Chi that I practice today: one is the Yang style frame, which is based on looseness and softness. It mainly cultivates inner energy (i.e. internal strength) and the flow of inner energy. I call it "inner elixir". shelf". The other is a routine based on the Hong Chuan Chen Style Frame, which focuses on practicing silk wrapping exercises. I call it "Silk Winding Gong Frame". In addition to practicing these two sets of boxing frames, maintain stance for 20 minutes every day.
The core secret or the goal I pursue whether I am standing or practicing is: tranquility, concentration, and release.
