Traditional Yang-style Taichi Push-hands Exercise

Taichi Push-hands Exercise is a duel event between two bare-handed people, and therefore has a feature of duel between two opponents. Following and sticking, up and down going together, neither loosing nor goring, circling and turning, avoiding the main forces and striking the weak point, persisting instead of prompting, this exercise draws on these basic techniques of grasping, catching, throwing, hitting, warding, deflecting, pushing, pressing, elbowing and leaning, etc. to drill the sensibility of skin and body so as to take preemptive steps in fighting the enemy. Hence, it’s a super martial art exercise marked by taking advantage of the enemy’s force to counterattack.
