社区文体活动 Cultural Event – 太极拳 Tai Chi Quan( Starting from 2023.5.17)

陳氏太極入門

陳氏太極拳源於中國河南省陳家溝,是太極拳的最早形式之一.相較於一般常見緩慢的太極拳, 陳氏太極拳從慢到快,快後複慢,講求’快慢相間’.又由松柔入手,講求’積柔成剛,剛柔並濟’。快慢相間是兼顧有氧與無氧两種不同的鍛練方式,剛柔並濟則是在增加肌耐力的同時也提昇關節的柔軟度. 练习时所有的動作都必须與呼吸相配合,更能提高養生健身的價值。
陳氏太極拳行拳时以立身中正,八面支撐為準則.用腹部的核心肌群做為原動力.主動的的拉伸人體主要支撐的後脊柱.可以矫正弯曲的身型,减轻人体后背的负担。陳氏太極的動作,是由曲線弧形螺旋式的動作組成的.也就是所謂的’纏絲勁’.从外型上看是把肢體以弧形螺旋式地纏繞絞轉,從而形成為一系列無限延長的複雜的空間螺旋運動.從健身的角度來看,這種運動方式主要鍛練到了身體最重要的兩組球關節-肩關節及髖關節.長時練習下来可以增強肩,背與後腰部的能力,以保持人体健康的功能.

Introduction to Chen’s Tai Chi
