Learning Taijiquan from the Master 跟名师学太极 2016年月10月16日夏威夷教学讲稿 1 Opening (2 min) 一、 开场（时间2分） 各位老师、各位拳友大家好！ 我很高兴有机会与各位一起练习太极拳。 前一小时，我教初学者几个简化太极拳的动作，使初学者对太极拳有一个初步体检 后半部分，请会练简化24式太极拳的朋友全套练习一遍，我针对大家的情况提出一些改进建议。 2 Introduction (5 min) 二、 介绍（5分） 首先我向初学朋友介绍一下太极拳：太极拳是中国传统武术中的一种拳法。做为博斗功夫，它讲究以柔克刚，以巧取胜。当对方进攻时，我顺势走化，引对方落空，进而伺机反攻，取得四两拨千斤的效果。做为健身养生功夫，太极拳要求心静体松，自然和谐，在意识引导下，轻柔连贯、绵绵不断地运动，达到动中寓静，动以养身，静以养心，身心双修的效果。 太极拳是中国古老的、科学的、有效的健身防身运动。它体现了天人合一，道法自然，太极阴阳，生生不息的中国古老文化，也表现了中华民族立身中正，仁爱和谐，先礼后兵的伦理道德。 3 Warmup Exercises (8 min) Eight Brocades Qigong
