Taiji Boxing
太极拳
Taiji Boxing is characterized by the unification of mind,breath and motions (body), requiring concentration of mind and calmness of motions. “Mind works as a commander and body a soldier;”“When in motion all of the body moves. When at rest,all of the body rests. ’’Calmness is required for motion. Simple force is not preferred. Force is like a wheel and waist is its axis. The motions are continuous as a circle. The breath is deep and controlled by the diaphragm. Be concentrated, gentle and natural. Be stable as a mountain when not moving,and be flowing as a river when moving. The moves are characterized by roundness, softness, slowness, stability and evenness. They are extended but very well coordinated,and all are an antithetical unity of Yin and Yang ( negative and positive )
太极拳的特点是头脑,呼吸和运动的统一,需要注意力集中和动作冷静。“头脑是指挥官和身体是士兵”;“动则全动,静则全静。”“冷静所需的运动。简单的力不是优选的。力量是像一个车轮和腰是它的轴。动作像是连续的圆。呼吸深而由膜片控制。集中,柔和,自然。不动的时候稳定如山,移动时,动如河流。这些动作的特点是圆,柔软,缓慢,稳定和均匀度。它们扩展,但非常好控制,一切皆是阴阳的统一(阴性及阳性)
