Partner Practice - Push Hands and Sticking Hands. The Real reasons why you Need these Practices.

Push hands and Sticking Hands are the unique training methods of Tai chi and other Internal (Martial Arts) schools that enable students to practise the principles of yielding and using softness to overcome hardness. This practise allows one to develope new responses in a cooperative manner. You develop to be stronger, yet more sensitive and develop in as safe environment (much less chance to get hurt).

Our system of KWS-Tai chi Push hands is unique with the insights and techniques of the KWS internal system not found anywhere else.

• Sensing and Allowing forces (to come)
• How to use "4 ounces to overcome 1000 pounds"
• Stepping and Body work

Why Train in Push Hands?

To awaken and raise your awareness to tensions and outside forces. 99% of people stiffen up on contact - despite years and years of "Tai chi practice". Their response is either too hard or conversely too soft - misinterpreting the meaning of the soft art, and of yielding. Or, forgetting all about softness and resort to hardness. What is missing is the blended strength - hardness within softness.

And to remain relaxed in the face of challenges. To cut down reactive thoughts and actions. Hence staying calm, with understanding and clarity. To eliminate jerky movements in responding to opponent's on coming forces. 

Anger, judgments and condemnation are all reactive reactions. And they occur at work, at home or in an physical encounter.  Push hands practice help you raise above this.
