Title: Generating Body Strength Through Taijiquan Motion
Abstract: The neural circuits work very well to match, functionally, between the commands of an action, such as to swing a club, and the activation of muscles that result in the action.But the responses of neurobiology cannot be relied upon to recruit the right muscles necessary to meet a demand of high-level performance in power output, which one may want, such as a good long golf drive.The neural signals from the motor cortex do not activate the muscles at the right levels to produce the power drive that the body is capable of.Indeed, very often, many of the responses, conditioned by behavioral convenience, turn out to be obstacles, which form "barriers of neurobiology" to one's training to advance.This paper examines the issues through the lens of Taijiquan, and explains how it's unorthodox slow -motion methodology cultivates the body senses that elicit responses to overcome the barriers, and to generate the ideal motion of Taijiquan, which gives rise to force that is consummate.
