What makes TJQ so hard to master?
Time to get some TJQ threads going again.
As the thread title sez:
"What makes TC so hard to master."
For me it is primarily two things, keeping everything rounded, moving and relaxed.
Plus, another thing "bao" (sp?) Teacher always sez that all our movements need to have this type of "fullness".
My current Chen TJQ style does not have a prescribed speed or timeframe that the forms needs to be done in, which I really prefer over my previous style.
Cheers.
Soong, and moving from the center
If you can get the mechanics right, and the principles of movement, and internal movement.
internal:
sinking qi into the dan tein and bone marrow
external:
1)moving from the center-(which is the backbone and the KD1 line leading down to the center of your feet below the ball) also the waist(dan tein)
2) 3 external connections- hands to feet, elbows knees, shoulder to hips/waist(hips and waist are not the same thing though).
When feet go up hands go up, at least slighty
3) leading-, moving the body at the extremities one as if in a punch, the body is divide into a thousand pieces you move one by one, so the peices of the fist pull the wrist which pulls the arms, etc, tell the pull the center. but in actually when doing this the center IS MOVING AT SAME COORDINATION, at the SAME time. its just that for coordination of Yi and Qi you keep in mind your extermities.
4) Uses the Earths forces- again in moving from the Center which is but probably to exclusive to the Dantien, Center of your back, and the line going down you the ball point of your feet KD1. But even though your hands lead the attack pulling your body, in a chain at the same time naturally you feet press off the ground, pushing ground qi, from the earth to the center (up your back to your fist.
Internal;
1) Fajing, and reserve breathing.
2) 3 commbitnations; Shen leads Yi lead Qi,
3) of course let QI move the movement. not Li.
Shen is something I would like to work on.
