No matter how challenging the Push Hands, you can always smile.

Me sharing a Sports Tai Chi Push Hands with Master Longfei Yang. I had heard about him through a short documentary on how his Tai Chi is most closely related to Praying Mantis Kung Fu (which my father studied deeply), then I found out we had a mutual friend that brought us together. Great guy, and very open minded to experience something unfamiliar like how this sport is played, even though he has a masterful family lineage. That’s a REAL martial artist in my book. His new Kung Fu instructional video series looks dope too. Find him here: http://xwmkungfu.com/about/master-longfei/ Gratitude to @lionroarsanda for always being a martial home for me.

Chen Taiji Tuishou Fundamentals It's very common to overlook what can be learnt from fundamental drills like this one. Single-hand, horizontal circle practice helps to build peng strength, find vertical alignment and loosen the hips. All of these are essential for practicing the routine as well as push hands. Looking closely, you can see times when the movement of my hips and arm are poorly co-ordinated. A smoother rotation in the hips would correct this. Typically this happens when thinking about the movement gets in the way of doing the movement.

Song of Split

How can we explain the energy of Split? Revolving like a flywheel, If something is thrown against it, It will be cast off at a great distance. Whirlpools appear in swift flowing streams, And the curling waves are like spirals. If a falling leaf lands on their surface, In no time it will sink from sight.

-Quoted form the Yang Family Manuscripts Collected by Li Ling-ang Trans. Douglas Wile

Push Hands Yielding & Power Training at Great River Taoist Center- 

In the background student practice yielding and neutralizing during the "Willow Bends" exercise. Here the student being pushed cannot use his arms to neutralize. In the foreground, students throw a medicine all with a push from the legs. Throwing a ball is not a traditional exercise, but differs little from training with a spear of other weapons that employ a thrusting/pushing movement

"Taiji form practice that ignores functional application bestows health benefits that are artificial at best.”
