Wellbeing & Performance - the Tai Chi way
Here we go again, Push Hands in the Park:
I hope to be there again so come along and join in on the fun.
Study and absorb Tai Chi theory into your practice to fully understand the concepts and be able to perform the techniques correctly.
One of the ways I make sure my Tai Chi postures are precise is to move along an imaginary line/s.
For example, when practicising the As If Closing Posture I think of imaginary lines extending from the palms of my hands. As I lean forward and push, my hands move along the extended horizontal imaginary lines and stop when I’m in the correct position.
I’ve been going to the free Push Hands in the park sessions for over 12 months now and pushed hands with many players; from beginner level to very experienced players.
And it’s fascinating to experience and observe the many different styles of Push Hands.
Here are some of my observations;
I happened to catch a thread on a Tai Chi discussion group and one person mentioned he was bored with the Tai Chi form.
Well, I nearly fell out my chair when I read this and thought, ‘how could you become bored with a Tai Chi form?’ I’ve been practising the Wu style form for twenty five years and I’m still fascinated by the intricacies of the form.
