Dilemma and Relief: Reflection on the Application of Tai Chi Teaching Methods in Universities

Abstract

With the reform of public physical education courses in universities and the transformation of the learning needs of college
students, the teaching of Tai Chi is facing difficulties, with the problem of teaching methods becoming more prominent. Using research methods such as literature review, field research, logical analysis, and interviews, this study explores the application of teaching methods
for Tai Chi in universities. Research suggests that teachers should combine the offensive and defensive characteristics of Tai Chi with the
application of demonstration methods, highlighting the use of techniques and practical effects; The application of explanatory methods
should be combined with the cultural connotations and characteristics of Tai Chi, specifically explaining the power generation methods of
Tai Chi, and delving into the cultural metaphors of action names; The application of practice methods requires a correct understanding of
the chronic characteristics of Tai Chi, with a focus on proprioceptive exercises and an increase in interactive exercises.
