Skill in push hands separates the advanced from the novice in Tai Chi. In this DVD, you'll join a workshop conducted by Ken Gullette, teaching students the five patterns of Tai Chi Push Hands. As usual, Ken focuses a lot of instruction on the internal body mechanics required for high-quality Tai Chi. You'll see the mistakes that beginning students make, and watch as they're corrected.
Push hands has to be learned in a progression. First, you learn how to become aware of your opponent's force -- it's intensity and direction. In Tai Chi, this is called "listening" skill, as you use your hands and arms to "listen" to your opponent's force. Then, you learn to adapt to the incoming force, neutralize it, and counter as your opponent loses his balance. Tai Chi can be summed up this way: you maintain your mental and physical balance while your opponent loses his balance.
Like the Tai Chi forms, effective push hands requires maintaining the ground path and peng jin, whole-body movement, and silk-reeling energy. All this is explained on this DVD. After you study this DVD, you should consider Ken's "Close-Up Self-Defense Using Tai Chi Energies & Methods" DVD, which takes your push hands skill higher, into freestyle self-defense.
