New year, new taichi!

Hello everyone, happy new year!!!
First push hands practice this new year!
Had new insights!!


Today's push hands session was great! Pushed with a grand total of 2 partners and both taught me many things. If I could only remember some of them.....

Anyway, in the day's push hand session, while pushing with the first guy, I decided close my eyes for a while and lo and behold! The world changed. I could feel his force quite clearly, the intention. The sticking to the force as close as possible when he attacks. As long as i concentrate on his force and try to stick with it, forestall it, i must always be in front of it, following it, directing its motion becomes much easier. However, sometimes this part of whose intention is in front becomes blurred and we seem to be at the same pace. That's where the problem comes in and it is an open game for both of us. Sometimes, when i am chasing him, it is almost end game for me.

As last semester's school result was bad, i am cutting some slack on classes and thus practice. So hope results get better this semester and i can catch up with practice the next half of the year!


New year, new taiji, starting from beginning, learn humbly, lose humbly!
