I didn't go to morning exercise yesterday morning because I was tired and lazy. I woke up at the same time, 4: 40, which can't be changed. Get up early without doing morning exercises. Maybe I'm past the age of staying in bed and sleep less.
How many things can I do when I suddenly have so much time? Walking the dog, sweeping the yard, watering the flowers, tidying up the grape trellis, cleaning up the towel gourd seedlings, drinking tofu brain and eating fried dough sticks and radish rolls on the street. It turns out that the leisure in the morning can be so free and easy, and I can live so peacefully. With a silly smirk on his face, he is willing to do more work and watch this morning for a while.
Just after dinner and rest, Mr. Wang called and scared me. I thought I would be criticized. It turns out that this summer, Linyi City will hold a boxing competition, and our team will recommend three female boxers to participate in the Tai Ji Chuan competition of the 5th Sports Meeting. The teacher recommended me, and when I didn't go to morning exercise, I called to tell me to prepare for it, just for ten days, waiting for a good training.
My little self-confidence suddenly sank into the dust again. For me, who has been practicing Tai Ji Chuan for three years, I have a little feeling about moves, but I have no confidence in the game, and I have a burden in my heart, which is as heavy as Mount Tai.
The teacher said that my lower limbs were steady, but my upper limbs were not stretched enough. I have repeatedly stressed that the action should be atmospheric, but I don't know how to express the atmosphere of the action incisively and vividly.
We boxers in training stood together this morning, and no one would stand in the front row. Teacher Wang is too strict, and some small moves of the players can't escape his sharp eyes. He said that this is called a strict teacher and a high apprentice.
I was pulled out, stood in the front row, and practiced from the beginning with a set of 42-style Tai Ji Chuan. The teacher patiently and carefully corrected the action bit by bit. It was me who was corrected, and the stretching of the action became a knot that I couldn't pass. The more irregular my movements are, the more the teacher stares. Afraid in my heart, my moves are becoming more and more rigid and stingy, and I dare not swing my usual familiar moves. It's embarrassing to stand there in a stalemate.
Correcting movements is more difficult than learning new movements. The teacher was very dissatisfied there and nagged that I was slow to respond. I don't feel well either.
Maybe the teacher felt that the words were too heavy, so he apologized to us and said that none of the students had been trained in the previous competition, so we should change them and remember that after training, the movements really changed a lot, much better than before. After a game, you will improve a lot. How can you not understand that teachers hate iron and not produce?
After that, I downloaded Gao Jiamin's Tai Ji Chuan video, pondered it carefully, practiced the movements repeatedly, and tried to correct the incorrect movements. The most important thing is that I don't understand some movements, and I don't know what I can't do until others point it out. Don't bend your arms too much and don't get too close to your body. Keep a certain distance from your body. Suppose a crane has bright wings. Two arms are the wings of a crane. Stretch clearly, raise your right hand, palm inward, and put your left hand next to your left hip, 30 cm away from it. Stretch and the atmosphere will naturally come out.
I just feel very tired. On weekdays, I am very hungry in the morning and can eat a lot. Now I am hungry and tired, but I have no appetite, and my thigh muscles begin to ache. The next step is difficult movements such as jumping and kicking. If you don't do well, you will lose points. The teacher said that the referees' eyes are sharp and not standardized at all, so you can't escape the referees' eyes.
We don't have much time, but ten days is also a slow growth process for us. I will try my best to make the movements perfect. Tai Ji Chuan is not only self-cultivation for us, but also self-cultivation. This, I benefit the most.
The fifth day of training
I admit that I am not indestructible, and I will cry when I am tired and wronged. But I like this summer, even though it is full of defects.
I was born in summer, but I am a wayward person. I'm afraid I can't talk to the world. I'm afraid my body is like a fallen seed, separated from the world and unable to find a way out.
It's midsummer again. By chance, Taiji Chuan and I walked hand in hand in the dust because of curiosity. At the beginning, strangeness combined with freshness, Tai Chi Chuan just liked and insisted on me.
Never give up, I imitate its flexibility with my hard shell.
I'm doing the gentlest thing, making me natural and elegant.
Now because of the competition, I should take responsibility for it, just like the desire for joy, and I have done it calmly. Even if it makes me tired and sore, it is the beauty that I think I am willing to touch. I bow my head and raise my eyebrows for it, I am moved by it, and I am making a simple return for it.
Seventh place
After beginning of autumn, in the morning and evening training, every time I sweat, my clothes will get wet, my hair will get wet, and my hair tips will drip down. These are all things I like, and I can endure no matter how hard and tired I am. Just a sweaty body, due to the expansion of sweat pores and the blowing of cold air, began to hurt, which was very light at first, and then became heavier and heavier, and the pain was unbearable.
In two weeks, the game will start. It rained all day that day, and it is false to say that you are not nervous. When Mr. Wang came, he said, don't ask us to take any ranking, just do our best and play well on the spot. Although the teacher said so, in fact he is extremely strict with us. Our training in those days was severely criticized and our self-esteem was seriously damaged. If there was a crack, we would have gone in. Before the game, we were so comforted and persuaded to relax, saying it was an excellent exercise opportunity, and also took the opportunity to see the world and broaden our horizons.
I am the fourth player to play. The top players are all old players who have participated in many competitions in various counties. They are in place and their shelves are low. It's my turn. I'm not too nervous, but I'm a little distracted Usually, the shelf is low, and when I get here, I look immature, my movements are loose, and my eyes don't cooperate with my movements. As for eyes, I generally don't care much. I changed a lot of irregular movements, including my eyes, in order to practice cramming. When the eyes are there, the movements are stiff and the coordination is not good. Now it's the game. The first half is too relaxed, the movements are loose, and the charm is missing. The second half is still intact. After a game, people feel that they have experienced a battle. I lost at the starting line.
The seventh place, for me, is still very disappointing. It is wrong to say that you don't care. Since it's a competition, it's bound to be followed by fame. And soldiers who don't want to be generals! I just don't take these things too seriously, honor is second, mainly because I'm sorry for Mr. Wang, who has worked hard to teach us. Now that I think about it, I was criticized too lightly and wasted the teacher's hard work.
Come to think of it, what is the purpose of practicing Tai Ji Chuan? What do I really want? At first, the purpose was simple, to stay healthy. It was through the competition that my attitude became serious. What you do can't only focus on superficial efforts, nor can it have good results. Just for exercise, the movements are not in place and can't play a good role.
When Lang Lang participated in the piano competition, he won the seventh place. When he was studying, he was asked if he played the piano just to get a place in the competition. In fact, I like music, just in my heart. Because of love, there will be a feeling of heartbeat. Love is in your bones, and the sound and soul are intertwined. At that time, you don't have to chase it deliberately, and the ranking will naturally belong to such people. For Taiji Chuan, I haven't loved it so much, and I haven't reached the point where man and fist are integrated. I don't deliberately think about the appearance of the movements themselves, but while deliberating those movements, I should also grasp the position of one stroke and one type, and persevere as Lang Lang treats music.
Lang Lang said that it is the current state, and when it is slack, it will return to mediocrity. Standing on such a high platform, you should practice harder every day. Tai Ji Chuan, too, is a day of kung fu, a day without practicing moves will go out of shape. Kung fu is accumulated, and there is no shortcut to this road.
Sometimes I think, I get up before dawn every day, and Dai Yue is still rushing to practice Tai Chi, which is a great psychological burden. However, I don't force myself to insist. I am afraid that I will have a poor foundation when I was young. How can we talk about it later? My family has a genetic history of hypertensive cerebral thrombosis. Now it's hard work. I'm trying to convince myself that perseverance is the fundamental thing. My stubbornness has come up, and three cows can't be pulled back.
Everyone's heart is like a deep sea, but it also hides great energy.
When the world is surrounded by enthusiasm, I don't want to be famous for Tai Chi. I want to have a happy mood and a healthy body. I should fly in a certain area and a warm place with my own attitude, which is the last goal I will try my best to achieve.
