The Push Hand Form - More detail about it.




Had a chance to discuss this form-method of practice with Shifu on Saturday and Sunday.
Learned that we were working on 4 motions that have chinese names, my apologies for the spelling/pronunciation of them.

Peng - to ward off

Lieh - to split; to separate or twist or offset with spiral motion

Ji - Press

An - to Push.


Discussing this with one of my seniors, he was showing me one of his methods of practice doing just the footwork motion concentrating on the hip motions and weight shift, spiralling, then in combination with the hand work as well. Just another thing to think about and practice!
