How to Approach Push Hands

- Consciousness is Key,

Not Mechanical, Not Thinking

 

 

Discover Taiji

 

 With millions practicing Taijiquan today, still, push hands is largely misunderstood despite being a key training method. To some it is a shoving match, to see who is the strongest and trickiest. To some, it is an exercise in turn on, tune in and switch off, mindlessly and mechanically going through the motions. These are major errors. So no wonder the skills one is meant to embody by practicing the push hands training methods are not all that common today, given how practitioners are approaching in the contemporary Taijiquan world! 

 

During the intensive, one month camp in February, in Phuket, Thailand, Sifu Adam Mizner takes a moment to explain how to practice push hands correctly. He describes how the consciousness must penetrate deeply, and completely throughout the body while being present in the pushing hands exercise, without resorting to thinking what to do based on what the partner is doing (too slow, among other things) or just running through the motions with very little attention.
