This paper is devoted to domestic destination Wushu – Tai Chi Chuan. The essence of all oriental martial arts, one, and all martial arts and martial arts inextricably intertwined. Therefore, all those involved in other martial arts, it will be interesting and useful to carefully examine this article. Over the past hundred years taytszytsyuan (tai-chi-tsyuyan) is gradually improving, has become widespread both in China and around the world. This trend has become the mass movement in wushu. As practice shows, tai chi chuan – this is a sport in which the physiological and fitness standards contribute to health. Taijiquan – is an effective means of treating diseases, health promotion, disease prevention and longevity. It is widely practiced in hospitals, sanatoriums and became one of the main methods of complex treatment. Also it is well as prevention of disease. Now Taijiquan is considered a favorable healing of gymnastics, not only in China but also abroad. And yet, why Taijiquan improves health and prevents disease?
1) Tai Chi Chuan was an effective means for hardening of the nervous system and increase the efficiency of the sense organs (the actual increase in efficiency). During the training sessions should be adjusted on an ethical footing and focus, “the mind is concentrated at the tribute-tien; aside extraneous thoughts and willpower to calm down.” Thus, controlling the mind, focus on movement; effort will strengthen the ability of management body, to send your mind to strengthen the force. Nerve cells of the cerebral cortex should lead to an active state, which should ensure the tone all parts of the body and bring order to the metabolism, then there is an opportunity for increased circulation of qi energy and blood. Hence the effect of health promotion and nervous system. In training, during exercise, the eyes should follow the hands, and in moments of stops – look straight ahead. It has long been skillful treatment of the visual apparatus in training has helped to keep the visual acuity. The exercise Tui Shou (pushing hands) with the use of shocks, swings, defense or attack increases the sensitivity of the skin, improves the sense of touch.
2) Tai Chi Chuan strengthens the cardiovascular system. At the training necessary to observe the principle of “motion without any control – no movement. This applies to the movement of the body. Because tai chi chuan movements slowly and smoothly, the study of each joint and the muscles of the body contributes to the uniform circulation of the blood, improves the power of the heart muscles, increases the efficiency of blood vessels and slows the heartbeat and increases the strength of the heart muscle, reducing blood stagnation in the body and prevents atherosclerosis.
3) Abdominal breathing strengthens the respiratory system of the organism. In Tai Chi Chuan or internal use abdominal breathing (ie, “energy qi is immersed in the center of the tribute-tien). The vital energy of qi goes down. Natural and coordinated movements gradually lead to the fact that breathing becomes “a deep, long, thin, slow, uniform and smooth. This preserves the elasticity of the lungs, develop respiratory muscles, increases lung capacity and excellent lung function improves, such as ventilation and oxygen exchange.
4) Taijiquan stimulates digestive functions. During the training in the whole body involved bowel, stomach, liver, kidneys, stimulates blood circulation in the liver, improves the function of the gastrointestinal tract, digestion and assimilation of nutrients by the body, stimulates the appetite, cures constipation and other diseases.
5) Due taiji quan, strengthens muscles and improves joint mobility. In the arcuate and spiral movements involving all parts of the body, which, naturally, helps build muscle mass and strengthen muscle fibers. Prolonged training make a proportional figure, the body becomes flexible and elastic, dramatically improves the ability of muscle contraction. However, due to the movement in the form of spirals, perfectly strengthens bones and joints, improves flexibility and mobility of joints. Regular training to effectively treat arthritis and have a preventive effect against the weakness of the leg muscles in older people, weakness of the feet and knees, rigidity and immobility of joints, physical failure, and other geriatric diseases.
The interaction of three components – consciousness, movement and breathing – Tai Chi Chuan leads to the fact that calm traffic rules, and when the movement is like a calm, peace is gradually becoming a movement. Slow and uniform motion of the whole body are in harmony with human physiology. Taijiquan is suitable only for young but also older people, women, intellectuals and even the sick and frail. Persistently practicing can cure a number of diseases: neurasthenia, neuralgia, hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal diseases, diseases of the lungs and kidneys, rheumatism, leg, waist injury, arthritis, diabetes, spermatoreyu, internal hemorrhoids, and other chronic diseases. In a place Lnyan Henan Dr. Ty Veytszan conducted a study of forty-one people of various professions in age from 31 to 72 years involved in this wonderful style. Let us examine just one indicator of research – the pressure. Prior studies wushu four out of forty-one had low blood pressure, at thirty-seven – increased averaged 150.3 on 99.6 mm Hg. After three months of regular exercise for 29 people, representing 78.4% of the 37 people, blood pressure decreased, and the average blood pressure in all 37 persons was 143.1 at 94.8 mm Hg. Three out of four investigated with low blood pressure, the pressure rose, decreased dizziness, weakness and other symptoms of the disease. Even this fact alone clearly demonstrates the remarkable performance in the treatment and preservation of health gymnastics tai chi chuan.
