 Hello, I'm Sifu David from Kamabata Wing Shen. Today, we're going to show you how to defend someone pushing you, how to defend someone pushing or shoving you, or how to defend someone shoving you. So what's all this terminology about? Well, there's pushing, which means I want to put my weight behind it, and move it, and there's shoving, which means I'm just doing that. I don't have much weight behind my push. I'm just a shove. Okay, so we're going to show you how to defend against someone pushing or shoving you. Stay tuned. So there's three different stages of a push. Before he pushes, when he's pushing, and after he pushes. So let's start with the worst-case scenario. You already got pushed. So how we train this is we have our eyes closed. I'm in a weak position, and I'm not anticipating anybody to push me. And then somebody pushes me, and I want to get into a core stance. This is very important because if you don't get into a wide stance, the momentum will probably send you flying onto the floor. So one trick for this is to stand like this, and then stand straight up without any balance, without any good stance. This is a very weak stance. And then drop into a nice strong core stance. Okay? Like this. Drop into a nice and solid core stance. Okay, you're used to doing that. Just drop into it. At least make sure you just drop your weight. Just like that. Don't pump up and drop into it. Just go from here and drop straight into it. Okay, so that's the first exercise you can try back as a home. The next step is now we're going to, instead of just dropping straight down, I'm going to turn while I'm dropping. So I'm turning, chasing 90 degrees to my left, and then dropping. And we set, then drop face the other way. We set, then drop face the other way. So there's two combined two things. I'm dropping, and I'm turning. Okay? So the reason that works is because worst case scenario, you don't have time to bend, you have no time to do anything you need. You already pushed. It was an ambush, and you have to get your balance back as fast as possible. So he's pushing. I drop, and I turn, just like what we did in the drill. So that is the first defense. In the worst case scenario, if you already pushed, and you have no time to do any technique to do the push, I mean to counter or defend against the push. Now, obviously the push is just the beginning of the fight. So make sure that you are prepared to do a counter attack right after the push. So the next step of this drill is he pushes your eyes and clothes, and then I'm getting ready for attack in case he does another attack. I'm going to get a straight punch, ready to counter attack. Okay? Time. Ready to counter attack. So the next drill is he's going to push, and then punch. Very common in the street, how to defend against someone pushing, and then punching you, right? He doesn't push, and then I punch. Okay? So he's going to do that. Okay? So you want to be able to block and punch back at the same time. So that is the drill. The fact is that in the worst case scenario, when you're already pushed, you're already off balance, how to gain your balance back as fast as possible, and then counter attack before he can launch another punch onto you. So stay tuned. We're going to show you two more techniques on how to defend against the push or show. So technique number two is how to defend against the push when you're in talking distance. He is about to push you, and then you want to, first of all, do this, which is turn. The reason I'm turning because I don't turn, he's got, he's got control of my center because he's got all the surface, I'm wide, you got all the surface, the push, push off. As soon as I turn, I make the surface area smaller because I don't have this, and then now he's pushing this way and past my shoulders way. So as soon as I turn, I take away the big surface that you push off. So that's the first defense. Now obviously it's not the only defense we're going to use. So we're going to be adding a little hand bulge like this. So from the front, it looks like I'm bringing my hand up and then I'm doing that, raising my hand up and just opening just a bit. The reason I'm opening is he's pushing it, opening just a bit so that his hands go past my shoulders. Next thing then, his hands go past my shoulders. So this may not work if you are have wide shoulders, probably not going to work for you. But if you have smaller shoulders than the other guys, it's pretty good because you can go right in between. So test this out with a partner and see if it works as you. So now I'm combining the rotation and also the splitting. I go this way, this way, so I'm combining the rotation and the split. So from here, go this way, and then we continue with the jing man just in the middle. So that is his second technique, how to defend against a push or a shove. All right, so the third technique is if the guy has more space, so you have time to see the push coming. So if he's further away and you can see him approaching, well the first thing you need to do is you launch an attack first. But let's say you don't launch an attack first. So you just want to get out of the way. That's what you want to do. So I am seriously coming this way. I'm stepping out of the way, turning sideways so he goes down that way. Or he's coming in this way. Make sure I step out of the way so he goes this way. It's like a train is coming. Oh, I've got to get out of the way of the train. See how my foot goes completely off the line of the train. Okay, you don't want to go like this. Boom. See your foot is still here and your center of gravity didn't move that much. So make sure that you step all the way out of the way of the train. Okay, so in the drill, all you do is do this. This way. This way, right? Okay, so it'd be cute. He's going to go past me. It's like a matador with a bolt. Now notice what I'm doing with my hand. I'm doing this motion. It's a link, and we have the God Tom sound. Similar, but I want to do it in a very soft way, in a Tai Chi way. It's very soft. So as it's coming in, I'm going to do it very soft and fluid. Very soft and fluid. The reason is because if I push on it, you're going to feel that and then clack. Just press. Whenever your body feels some kind of or most people untrained people who feel a force, they're going to push the force back. So you don't want to trigger that. So it's coming in very soft. Very soft. I'm not doing this. I'm trying to move the cushion ball all the way. I'm not doing this. I'm just letting the guy, I'm just guiding him past my, past the line of attack. So now we're going to combine that with a counter attack. So boom, and then we're going to slap here. Are we going that way? Here, back this this way. Slap the balls here, then go in the back fist and back to the neck, push on the weight. Back fist here, here. So that is the third technique. What, how to defend yourself against a push when a push you can see coming. Now remember what I said is if you can see somebody attacking, you want to do a spear ahead of time so you doesn't even have a chance to push. So this is somewhere in between. So you can do a spear and then move all the way. This is a kick because it's all the way. So that's the next step. The guy's going to try to push, but he's probably not going to push you because he's going to stab in the face, or the eye, right? Great kick. This way. Okay, so you're going to boom, and then step out of the way, step out of the way, step out of the way, step out of the way. All right, so that's another drill that you can do. So train hard and let's wrap it up. All right, so those are three techniques on how to defend against a push or a shove. We talked about what to do when somebody already pushed it, and it's too late, and you have to recover and get your balance. We covered number two, what happens in the middle of the push, and you have time to do some kind of technique in the middle. And we also talked about what do you do if you can see the push coming from further away. So train hard, train safe, and have fun.
