Starting momentum and adjusting breathing

At the beginning of the momentum, your feet should stand naturally, shoulder-width and keep parallel to your feet. The center of gravity of the body sinks slightly and the knees are bent gently, which helps to stabilize the foundation. Then, his arms gradually raised up, as if carrying an invisible large balloon. At the same time, he slowly exhales and releases distracting thoughts. Although this starting action seems simple, it can help you get rid of external troubles and enter the tranquility of Tai Chi. It's like embarking on a mysterious journey, everything must be adjusted before departure.

At this moment, the spine needs to be slowly pulled upwards as if it were invisible thin lines to ensure that the body is upright. Shoulders should relax and sink naturally to avoid shrugging and exerting force. The eyes should be straight forward , keeping the eyes gentle and focused. In this state, it is like a tree deeply rooted in the earth. Only by first stabilizing itself can it better show its charm. The starting posture seems to be a simple preparation movement, but in fact it lays a solid foundation for the entire boxing technique. Once the momentum is done, the subsequent boxing movements will be smooth and free, as natural as the flowing water.

Mustang mane

The wild horse mane splitting move is crucial to exercising the coordination of arms and legs. Turn your body slightly to the right, lift your right hand upward, and press your left hand downward. Take a step forward with your right foot, hit the ground first, and then get down to it. At this time, the support legs must feel as firm as rooted, while the hands are like the two manes of a wild horse, spreading left and right, full of strength. This is not a random wave of hands, but a manifestation of "thoughts come first, strength follows", allowing both sides of the body to cooperate with each other and enhance their strength.

In actual combat, the wild horse's mane-dividing skills can be used to resist incoming enemies and launch attacks. If the opponent is aggressive and I am unstable, I will easily be broken through the defense line by him. This move first stabilizes itself. The left hand is used to resist the opponent's attack, and the right hand is used to directly hit the opponent's key points. It is like the shield and spear held by soldiers on the battlefield.

Once you become proficient in your practice, your body's coordination and reaction ability will also be significantly enhanced.

White crane wings

When performing this action, the body slightly turns to the left, the right hand draws an arc and moves downward, and the left hand extends from the front of the abdomen, and the palms of both hands alternately up and down. Then, turn your body to the right and take half a step with your right foot. In this process, the spine is like a baton, coordinating the coordination of various parts of the body. The feeling was as if the white crane had spread its wings and flew before it was tidying up its feathers, and its movements were slow and light. Looking from a high place, it is like you can imagine yourself transforming into a white crane about to fly, with an elegant and powerful posture.

The hand movements are like threading a needle. It seems simple but actually contains many delicate techniques. Whenever the arms turn , the internal organs in the body correspond to it. Cloud hands are not just sliding hands, they emphasize the flow of breath inside the body, requiring that the internal and external breaths can naturally merge together to achieve the state of completion in one go.

Keep your momentum and calm your mind

At the end, the body returns to center, the feet slowly close, and the arms slowly sag to both sides of the body. Each movement slowly returns to the initial tranquility. This situation is like a brilliant performance ending, slowly and harmoniously. It is extremely important to maintain a good growth in the trend, which helps to prevent the retrograde of qi and blood. Tai Chi emphasizes "the beginning and end are connected and integrated", and the end is like the end of the story. Only when the end is a perfect end can it be considered complete. At this time, the breathing becomes stable and long, and the force of the moves played in front can be recycled.

It was as if I was strolling around the bustling market and returned to my warm home. Our mood gradually calms down from the concentration and excitement during practice. Retaining momentum not only restores the body to normal, but also allows the mind to calm down and return to the daily rhythm of life.
