Japanese Tai Chi is a traditional martial art and one of the Tai Chi schools. It was founded by He Zhaoyuan (1810-1890), a famous Tai Chi master in Zhaobao Town, Wen County, Henan Province in the late Qing Dynasty. It is also called Zhaobao Tai Chi because of the region. In addition to the key points of general Tai Chi, Japanese Tai Chi has its own unique features in theory, techniques, and health preservation. Japanese Tai Chi is based on the theory of the Book of Changes. It takes its form and uses its meaning. It moves the whole body in a circle, and there is no circle. The whole body is naturally flexible without any force. Japanese Tai Chi emphasizes the principle of nature, and it is natural and natural everywhere, forming the characteristics of lightness, flexibility, and smoothness. He Zhaoyuan was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine and studied literature and medicine since childhood. In 1825, he learned martial arts from Chen Qingping, a boxer in the town. Later, he worked in Beijing. Under the influence of Li Tangjie, a master of Neo-Confucianism, Tai Chi was greatly reformed. A set of traditional Tai Chi forms that are consistent in both form and function, and in terms of technique and theory has been created, namely Japanese Tai Chi. Traditional Japanese Tai Chi has 72 forms, all of which are based on the principles of Yijing (Book of Changes). It is based on its shape (circle), its meaning (yin and yang, five elements, eight trigrams), and its theory (yin and yang changes, five elements generation and restraint, and unity of man and nature). The form is based on the principle of being light, flexible, and flexible, and seeking strength in softness to promote coordination of the whole body, and the steps are flexible and natural. The method of yin and yang changes is used to make the separation and combination of strength generated by the movement of different parts of the body form a myriad of ever-changing techniques and skills. This forms the fighting characteristics of Tai Chi, which are as slippery as a fish, as sticky as glue, as soft as cotton, and as hard as steel. In the practice of the form, the balance of yin and yang is achieved through the balance of internal and external, internal and external, and the smooth and coherent dynamic balance of yin and yang, which promotes the balance of internal qi and blood, internal organs, and meridians, maintains the normal physiological functions and healthy body of the human body, and thus achieves the purpose of fitness, treatment, and health preservation. When practicing, three straights should be achieved: head straight, body straight, and calves straight. Five smoothness: smooth body, smooth legs, smooth hands, smooth feet, and smooth mind. Understand the three joints and the six combinations and other rules and essentials. The entire boxing routine requires the unity of body and use to promote the integration of boxing, pushing hands, and free fighting, and the combination of skills and theories. Japanese Tai Chi takes nature as the principle, circles and arcs as the form of movement, and the method of Tai Chi Yin and Yang changes to distinguish the body from the inside and outside. Depending on the physical stage of the practitioner, the speed can be fast or slow, but it is even and appropriate. The posture can be large or small, with natural stretching as the degree. The whole boxing posture is simple, concise and smooth. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
