Learn Tai Chi With These Basic Moves

By Stacey Burt


Now Tai Chi is known to be one of the best ways for one to be able to increase his health because it is a way for one to gather up his chi and use it to strengthen his body. Because of the presence of chi, one will not only have very strong internal organs but also a strong muscular and skeletal system to. So if one is willing to learn tai chi, then here is an overview of what he will be doing.

Now the very first part of this art would be all about the internal aspect of the martial art namely all about the health aspect. Now in Tai Chi, the key having a healthy body is in knowing how to breathe properly and in a way that one can be able to harness his inner energy or his chi. Now it is this chi that is inside of him that will make him healthier both on the inside and the outside.

Now if one would want to harness his chi, he has to first be able to control his breathing and breathe through his abdomen. To do this, he has to first inhale and fill his abdomen with oxygen. After he does this, he should breathe our and deflate his stomach so that carbon dioxide comes out.

Now if one would want to do this martial art properly, then he has to make sure that this would be the new way that he would breathe from now on. So of course he would have to keep on practicing if he would want to get it right. Once he has done that, then he can learn about the basic stances.

Now the very first stance that one will be learning will be the horse riding stance. Now this is one of the most important stances of them all because it is a stance that one will be assuming a lot as he is doing the forms. It is also a stance wherein one can actually reap many health benefits.

So in order to assume this stance, one will first be standing in an upright position with his hands and legs relaxed. From his relaxed position, he should first breathe in and then breathe out while he slowly bends his legs. Now he has to make sure that his legs are rather apart and his hands are relaxed and down. After one has mastered this stance, then he will be practicing that everyday and mastering it before he can go on to the next one.

From the horse stance, he will then be learning to shift to the bow rider stance which is pretty much just a forward lunge. After he would do that, he will then switch t the basic cat stance where in his back leg is bent and is carrying majority of the weight of his body. He will be learning how to switch from stance to stance.

Once one has already learned all of the stances, he will be taught how to use them in doing forms. Along with the forms, he will also be adding a few hand movements to go along with that. From there, he will be practicing these forms in sequence.

Enjoy A Horse Performance In A Show Or At The Racetrack

By Essie Craft Riding or watching this magnificent animal is such a pleasure. It captures the hearts of a crowd to witness a horse performance of any kind. Being a spectator or holding out a hand to offer a treat will always create a wonderful memory. There are variations but the two basic types of riding are English and Western. This refers to the tack that is used, the saddle and bridle. For the English riding and jumping events, a flat saddle and bridle with double reins are used. The rider controls the animal holding the reins in two hands. Small water obstacles, brick walls and fences set up in different sequences are used in jumping competitions. In a Western show you will see the rider take the steed around the cloverleaf pattern in the barrel race or weave between the poles in the pole bending event. The Western saddle is bulkier. The saddle horn at the front is where the old time ranch hands tied their ropes as they lassoed calves for branding. In a rodeo the c...
