What Causes Stiff Feet?

The feet are considered to be the "second heart" of humans, with dozens of reflex areas corresponding to the viscera or organs, and a large number of nerve endings distributed. Therefore, regular pedaling not only helps lower limb blood circulation, but also regulates nerve activity, delays aging, makes feet, legs, and brain feel relaxed and relaxed, and has the effect of improving dizziness, headache, and memory.

Kick

The upper body is upright, with loose shoulders and elbows, chests and backs, and waists sitting.

Support the legs to flex slightly to keep the body's center of gravity stable. The upper body should not lean forward and backward. After the hands are separated, the wrists should be flush with the shoulders. Up to the heel.

Stepping on the feet is consistent with split palm sidelifting. When you step on the feet, you must think of your hands.

Then cut his neck with his right palm.

Second, the other person kicked me with his right foot

Easy to make mistakes, causes \ corrective measures

1. Two-handed arcing is either stiff or slumped. Cause: The opponent's intentions are unclear, and the technique of Taijiquan is stiff and stagnant, requiring rigidity and softness. Correction: When moving, use your hands to lead your elbows to your elbows and shoulders, your arms to be flexible and round, and your shoulders to be loose. In order to prevent the wrist from slumping, we should pay attention to the "sit wrist". If the wrist is slack and weak, the hand must not have the strength of the shed. Therefore, when drawing the arc, use both wrists and elbows. Don't lose energy, don't stiffen, don't let down.

2. Twist the waist when pedaling, forming the upper body tilted and pitched. Cause: Insufficient understanding of waist is the key to upper and lower limb rotation. Correction method: Boxing theory says that "the waist is the master", and shoulders and hips should be combined so that the waist is not twisted and the upper body is not skewed.

3. Separate your hands to the left and right when pedaling, too high or too low. Cause: Not enough understanding of usage. Remedy: Hold both hands flat, with the wrists and shoulders flat. The elbow and shoulder joints of the right hand should be opposite the knee and sacroiliac joints of the right foot.

4. The direction of pedaling is not accurate. Cause: The toe of the support leg is buckled too much or too little. Correction: The direction of the kick should be 30 degrees south-southwest (take the left kick as an example).

5. Cross your hands too close to your chest. Cause: Not enough understanding of the requirements of Tai Chi. Correction: Sit your wrists and relax your palms with full arms.
