Pushing Hands Sequence

Pushing Hands Sequence

Practice this gentle ancient eastern art from with experienced teachers to sharpen your reponses and flexibility in the body

with Zhu Changhai.

Pushing Hands is taught less often as it requires physical contact and partner work.

Normally it is very gentle and great for body strength – especially the legs. It can be competitive but it is best treated as a game – hence ‘Play Pushing Hands’, as it is often referred to in China.

It follows the natural sequence of 8 energies, in response to move from your partner.

The 8 Energies are commonly known as:

• PENG (extension)

• LÜ (brushing, to pass through to the inside)

• JI (pressure, Squeeze)

• AN (pressing)

• CAI (picking, uprooting)

• LIE (parts/dividing)

• ZHOU (elbow-Energy)

• KAO (shoulder energy)

Beginners are welcome welcome
