Now Tai Chi is known to be one of the best ways for one to be able to increase his health because it is a way for one to gather up his chi and use it to strengthen his body. Because of the presence of chi, one will not only have very strong internal organs but also a strong muscular and skeletal system to. So if one is willing to learn tai chi, then here is an overview of what he will be doing.
Now the very first part of this art would be all about the internal aspect of the martial art namely all about the health aspect. Now in Tai Chi, the key having a healthy body is in knowing how to breathe properly and in a way that one can be able to harness his inner energy or his chi. Now it is this chi that is inside of him that will make him healthier both on the inside and the outside.
Now if one would want to harness his chi, he has to first be able to control his breathing and breathe through his abdomen. To do this, he has to first inhale and fill his abdomen with oxygen. After he does this, he should breathe our and deflate his stomach so that carbon dioxide comes out.
Now one has to make sure that he will be breathing like this all the way because he would need it when he does the forms. So after one has already gotten the hang of the breathing, then he can learn some of the stances of the art. The stances are very important because one is in a stance the whole time he is practicing.
The first stance that one will be learning in this art would be the horse stance. The horse stance is a very crucial stance in this art because it is the stance that one will be assuming most of the time while he is doing his forms. It is also the stance wherein one will be relaxed the most.
So in order to assume this stance, one will first be standing in an upright position with his hands and legs relaxed. From his relaxed position, he should first breathe in and then breathe out while he slowly bends his legs. Now he has to make sure that his legs are rather apart and his hands are relaxed and down. After one has mastered this stance, then he will be practicing that everyday and mastering it before he can go on to the next one.
Now once he has already learned how to do the horse stance, the next stance that he will be doing is the bow rider stance which is a lunge. After that, he will do a cat stance wherein his back leg will carry majority of the weight. From there, he will practice shifting from one stance to another.
After one has already learned the basic stances, he will be putting them all together in order to do the basic tai chi forms. While doing forms, one will already be incorporating some hand movements as well while shifting stances. The instructor will be the one to teach the students how to do the forms.
