Why does Taiji put so much emphasis on relaxation? What is the meaning of proper relaxation? And how can you achieve it when you practice Taiji forms?
A: Relaxation benefits both health and the ability to perform martial arts. According to ancient traditional Chinese medicine theory, there are many energy channels running throughout the body. When the channels are free, the energy flows smoothly, the body is in good health and it is hard for sickness or diseases to enter the body. However, many people have problems relaxing due to mental stress, poor posture (raised shoulders, over bending knees and tense muscles) and incorrect body movements. If the body is not relaxed, the blockages of the energy channels occur, slowing down the energy flow inside the body. This stops the blood circulating freely as well as limiting internal energy.
Putting them down. You're 14. Allow your body to develop first. I know that's not what you want to hear, but you can cause damage to your body by exercising without supervision, especially at your age.
