@pigboykool Too true. Thanks for commenting!

Very nice video. A common problem of people who practice push hand is for the seek of push hand & forgot about its ultimate goal - gain favor position & attack.

Do you really want me to do a voice-over? lol

But... you're not the first to mention this problem. I'll talk to Shifu about this when we release the next set of vids from the seminars in September.

The only problem is I can either read or observe but not both. Why isn't there an English language version?

Wow.. This was very very helpful! Than you so much! I will keep these points in mind. I am at a point in Chen Style Tai Chi where I can feel the power coming from my legs and when I practice fa-jing I get the fastest and most force through the legs. This isvery accurate and helpful thank you much.
