Tai chi tuishou for striking and mid range grappling

Tuishou is about more than pushing. The skills developed in mid-range grappling can also be applied in long-range and mid-range striking. This lesson was a pleasure to teach because I got the opportunity to teach someone who is quite capable of ripping my arm off and pummelling me with it.

Ian is one of the very few people that talks about turning the feet to create a spiral. Kudos to you. Your explanations of "How" (and why) to do push hands are very good. Most videos just show you and you learn very little. Thank. Well done!

What a great exercise! Somewhere between tuishou and sanshou.. Excellent in how you're so invested in him "getting it". Super to watch from the 2 of you.

One of the most fascinating things I ever saw in martial arts. Thanks Sinclair!

the explination of the spirals/circles, coming from the feet and the analogy of the spouse, and the "better" relationship to your base of both a life and martial arts lesson

A very insightful and practical sharing! :D
I'm surprised that I only found this video now, after having noticed your channel a few years ago.
Perhaps I did watch it earlier but forgot because Taiji wasn't a significant part of my life yet back then.
Now though, I've started practicing Taiji avidly, and am able to link what you're showing here to what I've learned of Taiji.
Thank you ! :)
