Hello Everyone,
This is my first topic on this forum and before asking my question, I would like to thank everybody for the great material and discussions that we can find here, this is very helpful!
So my question today is: is there a possibility to enrich our practice of TaiChi Chuan with "external" exercices?
What I mean is that we can practice our TaiChi Chuan in different ways, slowly, internally or faster, with more "power" in it. This second way is what I call "external" but this may not be the correct word for it.
Edit: in Dr Yang's book "Theory of TaiChi Chuan", he is talking about the Yin and Yang aspects of Taichi Chuan. The Yin aspects is described as being slower and the Yang aspect as being quicker.
I would like to train this "quick" part of the Taichi Chuan. This is what I mean by "external".
I think that a part of the answer is to practice the jin of Taichi Chuan but I am not sure that this is the only way. And when I read about the Jin, I find information about internal jin and external Jin which is confusing me a little more.
Does anyone has an idea about how to train the "quick" aspects of Taichi Chuan?
Should I need to practice more the Jin?
If yes, is this more internal or external Jin?
Does anyone know some exercices for it?
Thanks a lot for your help and please, if my explanation are not clear enough, do not hesitate to ask me (my home language is not english and I edited the post to make it more clear).
Best regards,
César
