Wudang XuanWu Pai Push-Hand Method

The transcendental path begins with TaiJi Quan thirteen steps; known as Ba Jin Wu Xing (八劲五行 ) “Eight Energies and Five Directions .” These moves are hidden within the Ba Gua (Eight Trigram), and the Wu Xing (Five Phases). Hands are the Eight Jins and the feet are the Five Directions, for a total of thirteen postures.

Tui Shou or Push-Hands is a method to build up leverage, reflexes, sensitivity, timing, coordination, positioning and listing skill “Ting Jing” 听劲. It does not matter which Martial Art you are training, Push-Hands will add another level to your practice.

During the seminar we vill cover single hand routines, the first four of the Eight Energies Peng 掤, Lǚ 履, Ji 擠, An 按 in theory and practice and how we use a couple of simple, but effective QinNa (joint-locks) with these energies.

Join Simon & WuYi on the first of two Push-Hands seminars this spring.
