It was clear to me, the movements I learn was had a military application. We practiced slowly, but the idea was obvious and you had just to speed up a bit, call your sword green destiny and you were this middle-aged geezer with a cheap Lonquan no longer practice Jian - were a Ninja-or at least an overgrown child, act as a Ninja.
The long sword form is moved the first which encounters long forms in Chen where auf.Es are the shorter, introductory eleven or eighteen self-sacrificing forms forty nine. At first it seems impossible, someone might think, that many movements, and when it see you appears on your instructional DVD, it forever continue can but if I can pick up to someone and it doesn't seem really how long in the actual form as it does in the just of.But the danger in picking up a long form is that one begins to focus on the form itself and not to the feeling of the form.
When I started that seemed Chen style, I very slowly voran.Es took three months to the first five trains to lernen.Ich would like to repeat over and over and I would ride home then bathed in sweat and in a State of supernatural peace that pulled me back week after week, hunger for more of the same. But once I started on the forty nine, I think I forgot what I Tai Chi practice for.
I forgot the basics.
I still drove home in sweat bathed danach-but somehow I was not longer quite so preternaturally calm as I once was.
I do not to learn Tai Chi, how to fight or bones to brechen.Allerdings with Chen, the application of the movements become clear progression. It is an energetic and sometimes explosive form that practice is a pleasure, but as a beginner like me, I think it's easy to lose your way with him, and it is probably fair to say the sword form completely threw me off.
Hexagram told 22 adornment in the I went.When I read the Wilhelm translation of this old book, I think I recognize that the hand of Confucius here, more than LAU Tzu.Western Confucianism appears in my opinion may be ill-informed, concerned with accuracy the form, the order, the etiquette - and the idea that reflect such things or expression that the underlying beauty of things says sollte.Allerdings I went us also that essentially, these things are decorations and the underlying essence, that can sometimes a hollow ticket to obscure, it is important, tell the difference can also forget the basics of Tai Chi, and no matter how well you know the form it will look ridiculous.
I once filmed while the sword form - in the interest of self correction, but I saw me so stupid, I deleted it.There was nothing value correct. Lacked so essential and it was not even fully about the moves that I was implementing value anpassen.Anpassung not the problem. Self was the problem and can practice not essence – must realize that tap into it, feel it.I have observed that many have a Westerners on you tube, to do the form, and you all ridiculous.
Only the Chinese masters seem to find it.
What is it?
I think I it once, vague, in the early days, understood if things were easier, but since it lost.It is something with breathing and plan to do, I think.This is easier to manage if are a short form or some qigong, but the longer forms support the own ego simply require long enough to complete month after month, year after year to insist with practice and remember Sie.Im fight to it we forget the idea of intention because intention ridiculous is a concept to one's ego, such as energy or Qi.
Things only got worse for me after the sword form.I went to the Chen old frame of Lao Jia seventy two movements, then the Broadsword form - and before I knew it the PAU Chui or cannon fist.My teacher tells me I, at the end of the course coming ' m, now, and if that's true then I feel like I long way of knowing am what Tai Chi at the end which is when I was at the beginning.
At the moment I up to the point where my imagination and my concept of reality where I can feel the resistance of the air, as I move not know to the point to verlangsamen.Ich, if that is true try but it feels right at the moment.I close my Augen.Ich try to feel it.I try to remember the form and practice it intentionally.I try, an awareness of my body and the feeling of the sword - the minute vibration, your weight, its cool to develop in my hand.I have in my arms, my fingers my torso, my legs.It is an imaginary thing, but I try me, read focus on what I feel what my nerves are telling me - and I try to remember what I'm doing tried, attain a State of moving meditation.
I understand the meditation.
In meditation we close us and our mind to feel of our breaths to hängen.Wir we breathe in gross Weise.Wenn focus, we can hear breath - thats Grobheit.Aber if we can slow down, it finally comes a point where we hear our breaths can. This is the sound of silence Atem.Wir are breathing, Qi is called only in our imagination, and it also by our ideas, we are aware, which our body movements and the movement of this imaginary stuff.
I recently read somewhere-I wish I could remember where-about a student of in his teachers despair and said: this is all in my head – it is only imaginary and the teacher said: well, tell me, what is not imaginary! tell me, what is not in the spirit!
So, what I'm trying to say, as a beginner, like we do with our practice of the form to plunge, we should try not to forget our first lesson: the position Wu Wei, the nothing, yet the manner the breath measures each movement - breathing in, as we in draw, exhale, as we push out or Streik.Die form which can be described as DAO, is not the real Form.Die real form comes from within and is write - only experienced. for now I completely lost - just like DAO and life hope generally - but with patience and practice, I I can regain.
