Taiji martial art skills have a foundation and its called “Pushing Hands“.
There still appears to be some confusion about Pushing Hand, as I am regularly asked questions such as:

1. What is it used for?
2. What are its healthy benefits?
3. How can it be used in self-defense?

So let’s examine the first question: What is it used for? The first thing to establish is that it is not a complete system/discipline that operates separately from Taiji form and sparring but is an integral training link between the two.

There are numerous competitions/festivals held throughout the world that include Pushing Hands as a separate stand alone event which leads the viewing public to believe that this is how Taiji practitioners defend themselves. (more…)

Pushing your enemy without using too much force is a Chen principle.

Without learning pushing hands, you cannot say that you know Taiji very well. So pushing hands is very important in Taiji. Why? Because Taiji concerns itself with the centre, using a centralised energy to make others lose their centre. When a person loses their centre of gravity, although they may possess great physical power, they still cannot use it. So pushing hands is a basic Taiji technique used to make others lose their centre of gravity. Of course, whatever you do must conform with the principles of Taiii and apply the principles of centre.
