      The movement characteristics of Tai Chi are: neutral and comfortable, light and flexible, loose and soft, slow and even, orderly opening and closing, strong and soft, and moves like "moving clouds and flowing water, continuously." This kind of movement is both natural and elegant. You can experience the rhythm of music, the connotation of philosophy, the beautiful shape and the artistic conception of poetry. In high-level enjoyment, make disease disappear, make body and mind healthy

      1. Good for human body’s mineral absorption

      According to relevant data, Tai Chi is good at metabolizing calcium and phosphorus in lipids, proteins and inorganic salts. There are reports that, elderly exercise After 5 to 30 minutes, the cholesterol content in the blood will decrease, while the protein content in the blood will increase, so the symptoms of arteriosclerosis will be greatly alleviated.

      2. Good for the brain

      When practicing Tai Chi, you first need to concentrate and not have distracting thoughts. In this way, under the control of consciousness, people's thoughts are always focused on movements, eliminating the interference of other thoughts in the brain, and focusing on directing the changes in the functions of various organ systems and coordinated movements in the body, so that nerve The system's ability to be controlled by self-thought is improved. Secondly, the practice movements need to be "complete and integrated", from the eyes to the upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs, the upper and lower parts are not scattered, and they are coherent and continuous. At the same time, because some movements are relatively complex and require good control and balance, they require the brain to be completed under intense activity. This also plays an indirect training role for the central nervous system, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening the regulation of the brain.

      3. Good for the brain

      As for the composition of Tai Chi movements, it includes the activities of various groups of muscles and magnetic segments, as well as rhythmic breathing movements, especially diaphragm movements. Therefore, it can strengthen the circulation of blood and lymph and reduce congestion in the body. Muscle activity ensures venous blood return, and respiratory movement also accelerates venous return. The movements of Tai Chi are stretched and require conscious adaptation of breathing and movements, which can better accelerate the circulation of blood and lymph.

      4. Good for bone quality

      The spiral arc movements of Tai Chi enable all muscle groups and muscle fibers in the body to participate in activities. After repeated twisting and twisting, the muscles can be stretched to a length that cannot be achieved by ordinary exercises. Such twisting and relaxation over many years makes the muscles well-proportioned, plump, flexible and elastic, and increases the ability to contract. Due to the stretching effect of muscle contraction on the bones and the strengthening of metabolism, the blood supply to the bones is improved, resulting in good changes in the shape, structure and performance of the bones, and the bones become stronger, which improves the bones' resistance to bending, bending, compression and torsion, making them less prone to deformation and deformation.

      In short, when the introduction fails and the force is used to hit someone, the whole body must be completely unified. When it moves, it will move, and when it is still, it will be still. Only when the energy is broken and the intention is continuous, can it be triggered. The traction is on the top, the transportation is on the chest, the storage is on the legs, the control is on the waist, and then it is released. One must have five bows in order to be able to accumulate energy like a bow and release energy like an arrow. Strength is accumulated by bending, and the strength of the whole body lies in the whole body. To exert strength, you must focus on one area, identify the right point, and be targeted. The energy originates from the heels, from the feet to the legs, and from the waist to the fingers. It must be a complete movement without any interruption.
