Many old people also practice Tai Ji Chuan in their spare time, so what should the old people pay attention to when playing Tai Ji Chuan? Let me answer for you, I hope I can help you!
First, the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan
1, the self-cultivation function of Taiji Chuan
Practicing Tai Ji Chuan not only strengthens the body, but also has the function of self-cultivation. "Learn art first, learn etiquette, learn martial arts first, learn morality first." People who practice martial arts must be cultivated, noble, decent, humble and skilled in martial arts. Tai Chi practice is also exposed to the traditional culture of China, such as Taoism in Huangdi Neijing.
2. Tai Ji Chuan's fitness function.
Tai Ji Chuan can cultivate one's self-cultivation, and his movements are generous, slow and gentle, combining rigidity with softness, and guiding his movements with ideas, which meets the requirements of human physiological health care, and can promote human metabolism and regulate people's emotions. Peace of mind and natural, relaxed, beneficial to health.
The difference between Tai Ji Chuan and other sports is that his body is relaxed and calm, and his body and mind are completely immersed in sports, which makes his brain, body and mind quiet and balanced. Eliminating mental tension, anxiety and fear, and getting rid of morbid psychology can regulate people's body and mind, make people feel happy and calm, improve immunity, enhance physical fitness, and live a long and healthy life.
3. Tai Ji Chuan's self-defense function.
Taiji Chuan can defend itself. Tai Chi Chuan, which is dominated by softness, will not instinctively strike back when the other party barks hard, but will melt first and then hit. First of all, we should create a situation where I am obedient to others, and then seize the opportunity to pursue it and win it as easy as blowing off dust. This is what the person who just left said, and what the person who followed me said. If you want to change your body from uncomfortable to comfortable, you must make demands on your waist and legs. When you push your hand, explore with your heart, ask with your strength, and then listen to the truth. Distinguish the changes in each other's reality. Strike hard with virtual reality and improvise. Quietly ponder and gradually get what you want. We should wait and move before the other side attacks. If they don't move, they don't move. If they move, I will move first.
Second, how do the elderly practice Tai Chi?
1, when practicing boxing, use intention, not strength.
Every movement of Tai Ji Chuan is dominated by consciousness, so as to achieve mental and muscular exercise. When practicing boxing, the elderly should choose a quiet and sheltered environment, maintain a good psychological state, and don't talk to others while practicing boxing, thus losing the exercise effect. At the same time, according to everyone's different physique and health status, choose a certain driving posture and do what you can. If you are old and weak, you can take a small shelf with a higher posture, especially for patients with hypertensive heart disease. When doing "cheating", "kicking" and "squatting", you must never lift your legs or squat hard. As long as you think consciously, you can also get the exercise effect.
2. Make necessary preparations before practicing boxing.
Generally speaking, it is advisable to practice boxing in the morning. It's best to clear the intestines, drink some drinks such as soybean milk and malt extract, or eat some biscuits, but don't be too full. Then you can do some random preparatory activities combined with walking, then stand still for a moment, take a good breath, get rid of other thoughts and get ready to fight.
3. Try to combine softness, slowness, looseness and lightness when practicing boxing.
Due to the physical limitations of the elderly, boxing should be as gentle, relaxed, natural and slow as possible to avoid side effects such as shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat. Even beginners should do this, especially the elderly who are weak or suffering from chronic diseases, and should master this essentials (patients with hemoptysis and bleeding should not practice boxing for the time being).
4. When practicing boxing, you should master deep and thin breathing.
Even deep breathing can not only improve the effect of "expelling the old and absorbing the new", but also improve the blood circulation and visceral activity function. Because this is a kind of abdomen-tightening exercise combined with movements, beginners may find it more difficult, so they should adapt to it slowly during the exercise, don't rush for success, and don't deliberately breathe hard to achieve the so-called "abdomen-tightening" to avoid dizziness and shortness of breath, which will affect natural breathing.
