T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Pushing Hands, Master Cheng Man-Ching Method
This lesson includes some basics and a few of the finer points of Pushing Hands practice. This is the horizontal version of Pushing Hands, developed by Master Cheng Man-Ching, that uses the four techniques of push, press, roll back and cross hands, (ward off). An interplay of Yin/Yang, sensing balance, center line, body angle and positioning relative to each other. Positioning and angling is very subtle in both T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Bagua Zhang
Big loss, big gain
Small loss, small gain
So
Invest in loss
Do not contend with their force
Just
Go with the flow
The main technique is to off balance ones attacker
physically
and mentally
Give them more of what they want
Allow them to off balance themselves.......
Then issue on the proper line
with whole body power!
