? Chen Shi-Taiji Biography stresses that "the movement must advance, and the movement must be inserted", that "the victory lies in the progress, and the unbeaten is retreating", and that "the movements of hands and feet are nothing more than a circle. This shows that if you have a fist like your palm, you must also cross your hands. Turn the body and lift the foot. Button your feet inward, take a step forward and swing your feet outward. This kind of arc foot movement can confuse the enemy, hide one's intention, and reflect the ankle's grasp of the casing. Such as Chen's fist call all the way, "front cavity is embarrassing. "

The measure of actual combat not only refers to the flexibility of legs, but also includes the quality of movements. The common problems of kicking are heavy stagnation, lifting one foot and uprooting the whole body. Once it fails, the whole body is out of control and completely in a passive position. Taiji preach that the whole body is full of energy to store hair, which means "prepare five bows in one body" and "the body is like a bow, with two bows in both hands and two bows in both feet". The arch of the foot takes the knee as the arch handle and crosses the bone and heel as the arch tip (although it runs out), indicating that the whole body is full of energy. Once the force is exerted, it will eject, such as an arrow that leaves the string.

? Good footwork requires basic skills, which requires reasonable ligament stretching training. Leg press, Artest Ji Fan Chuan puts his legs too high and leans. Don't expect too much from the right leg press. According to your own ability, you must straighten your body, converge your hips, contract your hips and hook your feet, so as to better open the ligaments and avoid the phenomenon of "instability" and "weakness".

To "kick like a bow", it is also required to relax, calm down and come up. Kick with all your strength, lift your legs to a certain height, and eject your calves from your knees. Lift your legs, first move your hips, then hit them with your knees, and then use your calves and feet, depending on the distance of the enemy. For example, kicking two kicks (also known as "kicking two kicks") is extremely lethal.

? Don't shake your feet awkwardly. When shaking your feet, stick your feet to the ground first, and then separate your five toes. Just like clapping your hands, your palms are empty, your strength is sufficient, and the noise is loud. Feet should be felt, shaped, alive, energetic and powerful, the whole body should be full of strength, the abdomen should be inflated and explosive. This is not only powerful, but also won't hurt the knee joint, lumbar spine and brain because of foot shock.

? The significance of actual combat attack is that "stamping the ground like gold and stamping the enemy's feet", such as "King Kong smashing cymbals"; Second, shaking feet facilitates the change of pace, "introducing fighting skills and walking with both hands and feet"; The third is to refresh the mind and shock others; Fourth, in order to attack the distant enemy, you should jump close to the enemy and shake your feet, but you can only use one foot, not both at the same time. We should land in turn, and our feet will be divided into virtual feet and real feet after landing. At the same time, no matter how high you jump, you are required to maintain a stable footwork or slant stance after landing.

Tai Chi China's most popular official account of Tai Chi culture class WeChat.

Tai chi footwork, seeking stability while moving. Be light and steady, don't kick your feet, it's the air on your back that lifts your feet and rests quietly. It is the air in your abdomen that makes your feet flat and land, like a cat walking in a tiger's gait. This is not hard work, but it is done with passion, or under the command of thought, by pine. The lifting of the virtual foot does not depend on the forward leaning of the body, the pulling force of the legs and the backward pedaling force of the feet, but on the internal qi behind the spine to lift the virtual foot. This is to lift one's feet and keep silent, which embodies the transformation of "the spirit of emotional change" from reality to reality, rather than forced transformation.

In the last step, if the right foot is lifted from the rear toe and transported to the front heel until it hits the ground, the weight of the whole body must be slowly moved to the left foot during this process. At this time, the left foot is a solid foot, the right foot is a virtual foot, the joint is detached, the tendon is elongated, the hip joint is relaxed, the waist joint is relaxed, and the life gate moves forward to the limit, which becomes a forward fold (protrusion). At this point, the tail is close to the front heel and the center of gravity. This is the key to footwork, which can be summarized as three points: lifting the foot, transporting the foot and staying, which is similar to starting and putting pen to paper in calligraphy, and is called "reality in reality, emptiness in emptiness".

In other words, before lifting the right foot, the left foot is relaxed again, and the foot has infinite elasticity, and the internal air reaches the back directly, which is called sticking the back with air. The right foot is gently lifted by the breath of the ridge, and the virtual hip supported by the solid hip is sent from the ground to the front until the foot falls flat and loose. In the transformation of reality, the waist is folded from front to back, the qi of the spine holds up the virtual foot, and the qi of the abdomen makes the virtual foot flat and loose.

Generally speaking, the empty feet should be clean, the solid feet should be solid, and the whole body weight falls on the solid feet. At this time, the tail is basically sitting on the real heel, forming a line of Baihui, tail and heel. Of course, in the operation of "reality in reality" and "emptiness in emptiness", it is not done by force, but by passion, or under the command of ideas, it is done by pine. The lifting of the virtual foot does not depend on the forward leaning of the body, the pulling force of the legs and the backward pedaling force of the feet, but on the internal qi behind the spine to lift the virtual foot. This is to lift one's feet without pedaling, to remain silent, and to reflect the transformation of "the spirit of change" from reality to reality, rather than forced transformation.

In the process of transformation between virtual foot and real foot, the movement track of lumbar spine is from front folding (protrusion) to back folding (protrusion). The boxing spectrum says: "There must be folding when reciprocating, and there must be transformation when advancing and retreating." Reciprocation can be understood as forward and backward; Folding can be understood as front folding and back folding. In the spinal system, the range of motion of lumbar joints is the largest, and whether it is forward tilt, backward tilt, left tilt and right tilt, it is controlled by Mingmen.

In the last step, the waist and back are folded forward (the front door is convex) and the tail is close to the front heel. With the forward movement of the virtual leg, the waist and back gradually fold from front to back (the front door is convex), which is called folding first and then folding; When walking backwards, just the opposite of the previous step, fold your back first. The law of its change is like a fish with a gradual change of yin and yang. The cathode turns positive and the anode turns negative, which are in harmony with each other and are the root buttons. It is precisely because of the change of the back that Taiji Chuan's figure is constantly changing and his hands and feet are constantly moving.

In particular, it should be reminded that the change of body shape and the operation of limbs must be dominated by the waist, that is, limbs cannot take the initiative and automatically, which is the special requirement of Yang Tai's collection and biography. Waist is dominant, not by strength, but by kindness. The boxing score says "Qi follows the heart, Qi transports the body, and the spirit needs to be transformed into the spirit ...", which shows that the operation of Tai Ji Chuan and the transformation between the virtual and the real are controlled by the meaning and the gas, not by the force.

The upper part refers to the upper body and Tai Chi hands (including arms), and the lower part refers to Tai Chi feet (including legs). As the saying goes, "Up and down come down in one continuous line, Yin and Yang change under your feet, your head is empty and your hands are loose." "Boxing Classics" says: It starts from the feet, originates from the legs, and is dominated by the waist, which is like a finger. Every movement of boxing is first caused by the change of Yin and Yang at the foot, then caused by the change of waist and spine, and then dominated by waist and spine, which drives the movement of limbs.

Tai Ji Chuan's operation process, in the final analysis, is the process of transformation between virtual and real. To be clear, it is the center of gravity of the body. In the process of virtual-real transformation on two feet, the center of gravity of the human body is at the tail, which changes with the change of yin and yang of the feet. Where the tail is, the center of gravity is. When the left foot is fixed, the tail sits on the left heel, Baihui and tail.

Its roots are in the whole process of feet up and down: when one action reaches the extreme, when you want to switch to the next action, don't move your hand. First empty your legs, then relax your feet. When the soles of your feet are loose, not only will a rebound force reach your back to control your feet, but the center of gravity of your body will inevitably flow to your feet like water, which will drill into the center of the earth and change your center of gravity. The change of the center of gravity is gradual and continuous, changing like water. Not abrupt, not abrupt. This shows that the root of exercise is the foot, and up and down also follow the foot.
