#Taijiquan #PushHands #Mindfulness
With millions practicing Taijiquan today, still, push hands is largely misunderstood despite being a key training method. To some it is a shoving match, to see who is the strongest and trickiest. To some, it is an exercise in turn on, tune in and switch off, mindlessly and mechanically going through the motions. These are major errors. So no wonder the skills one is meant to embody by practicing the push hands training methods are not all that common today, given how practitioners are approaching in the contemporary Taijiquan world!
During the intensive, one month camp in February, in Phuket, Thailand, Sifu Adam Mizner takes a moment to explain how to practice push hands correctly. He describes how the consciousness must penetrate deeply, and completely throughout the body while being present in the pushing hands exercise, without resorting to thinking what to do based on what the partner is doing (too slow, among other things) or just running through the motions with very little attention.

Hello, very nice explanation, very simple and true. Thank you. For those that have not trodden the path then it's not really going to make much sense. It's not the same thing at all, but the flavour is a bit like understanding everything about a bicycle and how a bicycle is ridden. It's not the same as knowing how to ride a bicycle though. For Tai Chi its quite a reductive process. A lot of not doing, a lot of releasing, a lot of letting go, and a lot of accepting. Thats why it changes you, and why it is not readily achievable for most people.

The difference is other martial arts actually work. These guys need the other person to "be into it" (be brainwashed) for it to work, and if it doesn't it's because "you're just a beginner and still need to master the thing". Of course a beginner can never perform a technique in any sport; but a beginner shouldn't be required to "perform receiving it" or else it won't work, know what I mean?

How does that all play with high level players from other systems like Chen, Sun, etc. in the Push Hands space? Yang being 'regal' and all. Are the other styles lesser, incorrect, or otherwise? Does it then just become a 'battle' of who can be more song?

What exactly are you saying is BS? He's talking about push-hands training with respect to the patterns that many people are taught and practise. It's a training system to develop ability at Tai Chi, his explanation and demonstration here is to help people get into it on a deeper level. Not everyone looks for that, or understands that, so it's up to the individual to decide what kind of training may best help them on their Tai Chi journey.

They're ok. What is more important than them getting it is the exposure. For example, when I taught Kung Fu and Kenpo, the students didn't get it what I was saying or understand at first, but due to exposure, they finally got it.. It was the same with me trying to learn proper sentence structure in Tagalog when I was learning. I was lost when my teacher explained it to me, but through exposure, I finally got it.

*Yi* is *_intention_* - this is what you (Mizner) are trying to explain - basic 功夫 pronounced [kʊ́ŋfu]) often refers to the Chinese martial arts - as is wushu (martial art) and chuanfa (Fist method) - however Kungfu actually means *meritorious effort* and can be applied to any "work" whether it is the _effort_ made in becoming skillful in a martial art, or brick laying - _ni xianzai míngbaile_ ? As a teacher, Adam Mizner, you have too much Ego in your presentation.

@@rp4496 seems very simple and straightforward explanation in this video.. get out of your thinking mind, but don’t go on autopilot either. Saturate you mind/ awareness into your body, this is one of the keys. One of the reasons the explanations might not be so straightforward to you is because what is being explained is complex yet very subtle. It is kind of like explaining the smell of a flower to someone who never smelt a flower, words can not do it, the best you can do is use words to tell them “what it is NOT”, and to use the words to guide them to the field of flowers 🌺 where they can get the experience directly.

It’s not an easy thing to entirely communicate.. because it’s Yin/Yang meaning dualistic principles are constantly in flux -> the moment you say something, mention a concept or name a thing it opens up another space for its opposite counterpart to arise as well.. the practitioners heart/mind needs to be aware of very fundamental principles first before embarking on this journey.. the above comment reveals the frustrations that every practitioner will go through (more so) than any perceived limitation a genuine Master might have in communicating or transmitting the knowledge/wisdom..
