How do you shake the Tai Chi pole up?

In the fifties, there were two very thick white wax rods standing on the blade rack of the Beijing Fitness Tai Chi Martial Arts Society, which were more than zhang long, jujube red, smooth and shiny. This kind of instrument is the Tai Chi pole. The big pole is not a combat **, nor is it used for drill routines, it is a tool for practicing basic functions.

The teacher will let you practice shaking the big pole before teaching you to practice the equipment. Tai Chi pole and Tai Chi gun are different, Tai Chi gun drill has moves and routines, Tai Chi pole has no routine, only nine pole points, namely: shake, pump, point, twist, fall, piercing, picking, plucking, teasing, etc.

Nine pole points can be interspersed to match the exercises. For example, when shaking the rod, you can use the tie or the rod to mix the exercises, wrestling with picking, pointing, twisting with dialing, pumping and teasing, etc., as you like, flexible use.

The footwork also changes flexibly with the pole point, half a horse step, a horse step, a lunge, a virtual step, a servant step, a ding step, a cross crotch step, progress, a backward step, a winding step, an insertion step, etc., in short, it is necessary to practice a live step. Shaking the big pole requires the internal qi of the dantian and the strength of the whole body to be sent out from the back, so that the loose qi and force of the whole body should be penetrated to the head of the rod and shake forward. If you shake no more than 100 times, you will sweat profusely, and if you practice for a long time, your internal strength will gradually increase, and your skills will improve greatly.

The big pole is relatively long and very thick, its weight is 2 to 3 times that of the general gun shaft, the right hand holds the tail end of the big rod, the left hand holds the middle and lower end of the big rod, the right hand is like a lock and grips, and the left hand is like a tube so that the big rod can slide back and forth. With the bar in front of your waist, take a step to the left with your left foot slightly wider than your shoulder. Flip your left foot with your toes outwards and squat down with your legs in a half-horse step.

When shaking the rod, the waist should be the axis, the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and knee should be coordinated, and the footwork should be changed with the change of the pole point. Without a certain foundation in Tai Chi, it is difficult to do it without mastering its essentials. After practicing the big pole for a certain period of time, the arm strength and waist strength will increase day by day, which is necessary for practicing various martial arts equipment in the future.

The method of shaking the big pole varies from house to house, but in general it is about the same method:

Stand with both feet back and forth, the round crotch is open and spanned, the lower plate is full of strength, the hands are held back and forth, and the back is not exposed, which is divided into positive and negative potentials. Generally speaking, the right hand is in the back for the front handle, and the left hand is the back for the back handle, and the force is sent from the soles of the feet, and the knots run through, dominated by the waist and hips, and the hands reach the pole slightly. The accumulation of strength is unknown, the strength is flamboyant and fierce, and with the application of the spitting technique, the rod body can "start quickly and stop urgently" to form a bouncing.

In the hands of a skilled warrior, the hard and elastic ash rod is shaken like a soft face.

Tai Chi Shake is one of the basic skills of Tai Chi, which is different from the routine drill of Tai Chi Da Gong, there are only four styles: collapse, draping, stabbing and shaking. The four-style shake lever is similar to the blocking, holding and piercing in the marksmanship practice, and the collapse, draping, stabbing and shaking are more inclined to practice shaking and strength, so as to enhance the overall coordination of the slag itself, rather than the pursuit of the dexterity of the gun tip.

However, this method can still improve the level of mastering the big pole (big gun). "Shake the rod" seems to refer to the last type of "shake", in fact, it is the main practice of collapse and phi, the strength of the collapse is mostly side strength, there is a saying in martial arts that "the straight strength is difficult to prevent, and the side strength is difficult to practice", and for the Tai Chi shake rod, the side strength can be strengthened by the very needle Tong Min is not the right strength, for people who can shake the pole, the side strength is not difficult at all. Therefore, the shake rod is also known as the window paper of Taijiquan skills, without brute force shaking, but with skillful strength (xiang two sounds), highlighting the true color of Taijiquan art.

Shaking the rod originated from the ancient spear technique, and later due to the ban on martial arts, the gun head was removed, and the practice of martial arts was changed to practice, and the shaking of the big gun became the shaking of the big rod. The length of the big pole is generally not less than three meters, and the ancient saying that the gun is eight zhang long and absolutely shot is eight inches long. When Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese, many infantry used large guns.
