Hello Mike, I have watched a lot of your videos and I enjoy them all! Since I am new to all of this, I would like to comprehend fully what is going on here. I see you both going back and forth, feeling each other's pressure and reactions - is the goal to push him over, and when you do he counters every one?

[mikemartello]

hello thanks for your question. Yes at first glance, but it goes deeper than just pushing like pushing a car force. He counters us by using our own force against us combined with listening and intention skill. PH is a deep subject to explain. I hope this helped...

[mikemartello]

ps. thanks for watching our vids...

regards, mike m...

this one is fucking real ....

[HillardEarl]

I am not trained in a Tai chi system but I do a little push hands, I have not met anyone at this level. But then I am just learning, to me it is my journey, that I try to enjoy. I find most people say that. But in a mix like Chen Xiao Wang vs Liao Bai this is what I see.

This is indeed the real thing. unfortunately not everything is on here. You can see that he is perfectly rooted. He's only using his body structure. No muscles at all. Nice stuff. Hope I'll get there one day.

[Laahu]

If the student were foolish enough to move fast or 'try to fight back', he would get hurt! Until you study for a half dozen years and then have the honor of touching hands with someone who is truly rooted, you do not know what is happening here. You cannot get it with your mind, it is an experience.

[Laahu]

This is real Kung Fu (Tai Chi push hands). The student is trying his best to retain balance and or overthrow the teacher. If you have ever tried this, you would hop around like the student, or fall on the ground. The teacher is being as gentle as possible, this is a lesson. This is not staged: notice that the young and strong are losing. Try as you might, this old man is rooted and staying that way.

[VikingII]

Well the biggest problem is the student isn't being unbalanced nothing being done in the video could unbalance someone. My problem isn't with "Fighting back" but more so with the fact that they are being absolutely ridiculous and fabricating an unrealistic response to something completely lame.

[VikingII]

How am I being an "internet troll"? Just because I know that this is not real does not mean I have to play along like you. You're the kind of person that Does hop around like a fool, just to lie to yourself or whatever twisted reason.

No matter what you call me or try to rationalize, it's not real. It just isn't. it's make believe garbage. It sucks people actually believe in it. I thought people were smart.

[VikingII]

It's funny how some of you try to rationalize and explain this. This isn't real, chi isn't real the kid is just playing along and fake believing in something. I hope you people aren't serious, you can't be like Dragon ball z, you can't push someone and have them hop around. it's just not real, Get real, and grow up.

if you ever seen a grandmaster or person very well versed in taiji, they look very young 20-30 years younger than their respective peers. this has to do with the chi cultivation and development found only in such internal arts. It helps preserve youth and longevity
