Ever since the so called taiji Classics were publicised in the early 20th century, well known Masters have agreed that they were authentic and had encouraged practitioners to follow the Classics’ teachings. These Masters include Yang Cheng Fu, Cheng Man Ching & Master Huang. Master Huang taught us that following the Classics is the fastest way to achieve his quality of taiji. This, except for a few very gifted persons, is extremely hard to follow as the Classics were written in classical Chinese and convoluted with Daoist ideals and philosophies. If practitioners deviate from the Classics, what they learn will be a form of ‘taiji’ which has very limited potential and will eventually stagnate in a ‘bull’s horn’. We all make mistakes and geniuses of master Huang’s caliber is extremely hard to come by. Some may be pretty good at the beginning but unfortunately lost the way and spent many years in the wilderness, wondering where it have gone wrong. This is very common among taiji practitioners. Persevere and keep on learning, if fortunate enough, from sincere teachers is the only way to improve for us normal people.
所谓的“传统太极” 自 20 世纪初问世以来,著名的大师们, 包括杨澄甫、郑曼青和黄性贤等都承认并鼓励练习者遵循传统太极培训。黄老师以身为例地教导我们,遵循传统训练是达到高太极水准的捷径。 这其中,除了少数非常有天赋的人,一般人是极难自学做到的,这是因为传统太极是用古文书写,并参杂了道家思理想和哲学理论。倘若偏离传统拳理真谛,学到的将会是潜力有限的“太极拳”,甚至钻入牛角尖而停滞不前。普通人在这训练学习过程中都不免会犯错, 毕竟像黄老师这样的天才是很难遇到的。 有些人初始时可能进展还不错,但中途不幸走偏了,彷徨多年,想知道哪里出了问题。 这在太极拳练习者中是很常见的。 由此可见, 只有坚持
不懈地不断学习,及有幸向名师学习,才是我们一般练习者提高太极水平的唯一途径。
