Moving Push Hands Drills

These are moving push hands drills as done by Li De-run 李德潤, a Yang taiji stylist. The drills shown here give some ideas of using the basic Yang taiji jins of peng, lu, ji, and an in a moving format. Points to notice might be the mainly diagonal position of peng in the drills (more indicative of a peng you can actually use than the horizontal peng in most Yang forms) and the circular bagua-like footwork that can be used with the drills (as shown with dalu in the video). Circular footwork is not just found in baguazhang. Developing this aspect of your Yang taiji can greatly increase your ability to apply taiji.

great skill, thank you. If I achive something similar to half of this skill level, I will be satisfied.

@qwert963 On the contrary! You can fight without it, but you can also learn to lock joints and send the adversary flying by practicing such skills. So, you canalso learn to fight with it.

@omegafaust210 I see nothing wrong with the instructor demonstrating on video. If however the student never challenges in class...that's a problem. I think the skill of the player in red is evident here however. He's heavily invested in loss..:-)

the comments are informative and it looks pretty actually.

I've been training in internal arts for many years and my concern is that the man in white is always taking the lead. The inexperienced in red is waiting with respect. It's a system in may cases I see the junior student aware of what's about to happen and just goes with it. not to challenge the one in white

this is interesting. I've never seen anything like this.

This is great; obviously this is to develop sensitive & perception skills that can help you in many applications not only in fighting. But it is for sure a good tool at the moment of intricate fighting to perceive the next move of your opponent.

Thank for share with us.

This is very nice. For people who don't understand, don't judge this by your art's standards. What they are practicing is a drill, not combat. It is loosely related to free fighting. This only to maintain 'listening energy,' then 'understanding energy.' Push hands is like a game, it is (somewhat) cooperative. Taiji's skill in not in the appearance of external power, so push hands is necessary bridge to sparring. If these guys are really good, it will always feel like you're falling.

lol this surely can fight if there is internal jing.

[matmurrell]

you practice this to get the movements right and to know where the other guys arms are you can learn to do with with your eyes closed its all about sensitivity, and once you start getting the movments your then taugh to add in punches kicks elbows etc its becomes extreamly violent
