Learn structure and applications in connective partner exercises called “Tui shou”

Tui shou or pushing hands are a really essential part of Taiji. These partner exercises help you to develop the skill of touch. They’re not a combative exercises but they do prepare you for contact. How they do that is by allowing you to train certain skills isolated and continuously.

The partner is there to help you by what we call ‘feeding force”. He lends his force and structure to let you develop the right feeling of the skill you’re practicing.

There are many different tuishou drills:
-Single hand
-Double hand
-Stationary
-Stepping patterns
-etc

We will be doing a lot of these exercises because they’re also fun to do while building the necessary skills!
