Push Hands 1

We started off with the double push, explaining how to start by both partners being in 55:45, bow stances, sinking to allow the arms to rise into position, and the pusher beginning by drawing back straight, into the back foot, 90%. We investigated using the hips to turn and ensuring that we remained in connection throughout our own bodies, as well as with our partner.

We went through the slow push, going through the finer points of sinking and releasing so that we could use the slow push in the push hands exercises.

Finally, we practised, pushing against the wall in order to remain in connection throughout our own bodies, and the wall as a single person practice.
