February 25 what's on? travailler!"not to push the martial art on every student but teach exactly the part of Tai Chi that the student/patient needs"
it is a total misconception that Tai Chi is a gentle exercise. It is NOT!!!!!!ON the contrary, if you do it well, it looks soft but it can be very strenuous. there are gentle parts which can benefit and cover the needs of the majority of people with illnesses.
have any one notice how great Michael Chen's horse stance was when he hits the ball with power? in fact many players exert greatest power when their posture conform to tai chi principles.
Just some tennis theory to explain:Be ready in frontal middle horse stance waiting, when the ball comes in take a position sidewards to the ball whilst still in horse stance, move your arm in a wok-like move(bending energy, drawing the bow), hit the ball with momentum while shifting weight to the front leg and fajin(release power like shooting an arrow). Of course this should happen naturally without thinking, it takes seconds only. Its being hard-wired through tennis and certainly enhanced through tAi Chi.
his whole-body action appears in all TC movements and very supportive to other sports. Keeping shoulders and joints relaxed(sung) and your mind clean(jing) would be extremely important for a tennis game with the mind working like a chess game. The implied mind(yi) driving the ball is also important, instead of using brute force. Shark mentioned a few moves being very helpful. In a first for me, I have been breaking down the tennis movements in some instructional videos by Dennis Van Der Meer. He demonstrates the form, shows how to align the shoulders, and position the body for the best point of contact with the ball. It has been fascinating. As I've taken notes and started to examine strokes in slow motion, I have found myself describing the components in Tai Chi terms.
Ready position - horse stance Turn shoulders - bow stance Weight distribution (1) - part horse's mane Weight distribution (2) - brush knee and step forward Weight transfer - empty stance with leg trailing Step back - repulse monkey Weight back - 60-40 stance Shuffle step - wave hands footwork Balance - keep head suspended and spine vertical "Not all at once,Yesterday I played 5 hours of tennis on hardcourt. Not all at once, but in 3 sessions.
I did stretching, basic Chi Kung, and the Simplified 24 form before and after most every session of exercise, and it seemed to help. The pounding on my joints (such as my hips and spine) and the tightness of my forearm and elbow present areas of concern. Can you suggest specific postures or movements from the Simplified 24 that I could perform as Chi Kung exercises to promote recovery. A big part of improvement has come from keeping my feet moving, rather than planted. For the body to perform like a whip, the feet in contact with the ground should be coordinated with the peak moment of the action. This understanding has given me a half-step advantage over keeping my feet planted. (It also suggests a tie with Chen style's stamping).
The Chen style may also help with reaction times at the net. The same muscles which were fatigued can be trained for faster coordination in the future. Approaching the net can involve many elastic, wrenching motions. Now I'm doing the Chen in higher stances for about a half-hour per day, and trying to relax more. But I still really like and practice the 24 Forms, which prepares me for the day and also for warm-down after vigorous competition."---------tennis man from Massachusetts, USA  i believe tai chi improve coordination so that it indirectly improves all other sports or activity. tai chi also train the mind so that it more serene yet more alert and focus perfect tool to improve in sport especially competitive ones.
Le chi est quelque chose que l'on ressent assez facilement, que ce soit en judo, ou en karaté. Faire passer un mec de 90 kg par dessus sa tête alors qu'on arriverait même pas à le soulever de 10 cm normalement, pour moi c'est ca le chi, même si il s'agit d'un niveau bien inférieur à celui des moines shaolin. Mais dans tous les arts martiaux (tous les sports d'ailleurs) il n'y a pas de mystère : c'est l'entrainement qui paye. February 03 BELLEVILLE,QUEL SALE今天阴雨,第一次去了BELLEVILLE,可能也是最后一次，尽管叫美丽城，讽刺的是，由于作买卖的棕色和黄色人种的充斥，那个地方的嘈杂污浊掩盖了所有的美丽,在中国朝市和店员说法语,她居然拜拜手逃走了,估计是不会语言的黑户了,满大街操着温州话的女人们像是个部落来的,有种我不愿与他们同流合污的感觉。昨天刚刚搬进一个朋友介绍的合租公寓，10平方大的卧室放着一个双层双人床，我睡在上铺，一个人的时候还有一丝欣慰，软绵绵的双人床，被小房东堆满SHOPPING天堂的巴黎采购的东东的淡紫色小房间,有点像日本小女生的公寓... |
