孙式太极拳  Sun Style Taiji Quan First Section

 

 

Dante Basili

 

I really love the Sun style of taijiquan. Not so much for its martial aspects, because in fact it adds nothing new to the other styles of Taiji or Bagua and Xing Yi, of which the founder Sun Lu Tang was an expert. I love it for its immediate effects on the mind. The frequent moments in the sequence of Kai Shou He Shou, opening and closing, are not simply a closing and opening of the hands: it is the whole body that pulsates and breathes, exactly as the whole universe does! It is like remembering, in the sometimes frenetic flow of life, simply remembering "to be". 

 

Here the first section with an emphasis on some details that are often overlooked. 

 

Amo molto lo stile Sun di taiji Quan. Non tanto per i suoi aspetti marziali, perché in effetti non aggiunge nulla di nuovo agli altri stili di Taiji o di Bagua e Xing Yi, di cui il fondatore Sun Lu Tang era esperto. Lo amo per i suoi effetti, immediati, che ha sulla mente. I frequenti momenti nella sequenza di Kai Shou He Shou, aprire e chiudere, non sono semplicemente un chiudere ed aprire le mani: è l'intero corpo che pulsa e respira, esattamente come fa l'intero universo! E' come un ricordarsi, nel fluire a volte frenetico della vita, un ricordarsi semplicemente di "essere". Qui la prima sezione con un accento su alcuni particolari che sono spesso trascurati.
