施老師養身太極拳

    For several tens year practicing, we had published the U-Jin Tai Chi Journal over two years. This Journal has the valuable instruction and information about Tai Chi Chuan concepts. Today many teachers find the principles and theories to exist too much problems, all of them want further to understand. In that time my students have gradually offered their point of view, although these views only were belonging to themselves thought, therefore, it is important for beginners. It is difficult to illustrate the various kinds of questions, any teacher have himself point of view, but it is not able to answer these questions more fully. Now Tai Chi Chuan is getting more popular and more many people in the world are trying to learn it. Therefore we want to exert ourselves efforts to write a simple learning experience to use simple language for the benefit of beginner in health and safety. This Journal may serve as an introduction approach to obtain the valuable information.

    當你志願成為醫生，從小就需要比別人更努力讀書，終於通過醫生檢定取得執照，因此獲得比一般民眾更高的收入，改善了生活品質，提升了社會地位，得到親朋好友的尊重，這是追求成功的定義。但是學太極拳，個人認為是追求身體健康，沒有收入利益也沒有社會地位，好像談不上成功兩個字。若是轉為階段式探討，或許可以勉強來解釋。第一階段學一套拳，跟著老師一招一式慢慢學，熟記角度、方向、手法與呼吸。事實上大部分動作都簡單易學，只有少數動作比較困難，需要加強一點體力與平衡練習，很快就學會了。學會了整套拳後，一定要報名套路比賽，從區域到全國及國際性錦標賽，從失敗中學習完美，只要獲得一張獎牌，滿足個人的期待，樂意與他人分享，這也算是成功的定義。第二階段學太極拳推手，跟著老師學習放鬆與技巧，再進入實際對抗的練習，這個階段需要勤練實用技巧，特別需要加強功力，熟悉動作。學到技術熟練時，應報名比賽，從失敗中激勵自己，學習到謙虛的態度，當獲得一張獎牌後，證明自己擁有良好的推手技巧，當然也是推手成功的定義。第三階段是推廣太極拳，以教練的身份傳授太極拳，引導正確的運動價值，從專業技術中體會與創新太極拳的技術、養身與氣功技巧，維持太極拳世代流傳，這是太極拳最成功的定義。

我們常常聽到運動會帶來健康，我們也知道運動會舒緩情緒，是人生中極為重要的生活要項。只要你經常出來運動，雖然你一時沒有感覺身體特別好，但是疾病會慢慢離你遠去。反之，你懶得運動，即使你的身體依然健在，但是疾病已經慢慢侵犯你了。當我看到那麼多癌症病患，在往生前的痛苦與哀嚎，馬上會提醒自己趕快出去運動。腦筋裡會浮現老天的警語：當老天爺呼喚你時，都會送癌症給你。雖然人無法勝天，但是可以防範，要使疾病遠離，就需要經常運動。

 Tai Chi Chuan, once an exercise practiced by only devoted disciples in China and in Taiwan, and now become an internationally recognized the regimen art. The international popularity prompted me to explain the detail movement in U Jin journal for the 37 forms that would help familiarizes them into the best instruction. I will present the information to describe the studying reasons and profits.
