The benefits of Tai Chi and internal martial arts for self-defense: Part 1 of 2
The benefits of Tai Chi and internal martial arts for self-defense: Part 1 of 2
Internal martial arts like Tai Chi, or Ba Gua can be extremely effective for self defense if trained correctly. There are a few strategic principles in Chinese internal martial arts that can provide a tactical advantage in melee combat. I will list in the sections following: body alignment and changing, friction and sensitivity, timing, Initiative (These last two, I'll explain in the second part of this article). You will notice that there is no magic to it all - it's all science. For more information on tai chi, self-defense and kung-fu please visit Martial Arts London, Ontario (Malo).
Alignment Body / Body of Change Posture
The first thing about Chinese internal martial arts like Tai Chi and Ba Gua is that they are based out of the Chinese system of medicine. This system was well aware of the things that chiropractors and sports therapists are just starting to learn on the human nervous system and spinal cord, the benefits of meditation, and muscle / tendon functional excellence. As the gymnasts and dancers, arts internal practitioners exercise difficult and demanding exercises and forms, to literally change the metabolism of the body, balance, structure, tendon strength, speed and flexibility. The worst is training the body to change, the more results they see. Do Tai Chi once a week without the required secret is not good enough. At first, this training is extremely difficult, such as jogging is extremely difficult for the beginner. But after years of practice, the body of the internal martial artist begins to change, and they begin to see the health and benefits martial as they begin to move as a functional unit and stop using "force awkward." They also get less damaged often in harsh martial arts tournaments. This change also includes body conditioning tendon, making a house artist "seem" stronger as they progressing as a unit more functional. The tendons are stronger than steel. If you can learn to use them, and to strengthen them, then move as a more functional and robust (still liquid) unit.
Friction and sensitivity
Another key aspect in internal arts as Tai Chi, or Ba Gua (Cheng and Sher Magui), is the friction, or what is sometimes called sticky hands. With this changing body, and two people "push" "Research" or "sticky" the practice of hands, practitioners become more sensitive to the movements of others, and using this sensitivity, internal martial artists can use force against an enemy of them by placing them off balance. And using the friction, the practitioner may provide more kinetic energy per second of a straight punch. All boxers know more friction means more damage, so does this apply too with shots and behind the arm. The more friction when throwing an opponent, the more kinetic energy to deliver into them, the faster they hit the ground. Also, using good friction
