Details

  • Sunday October 7

I always enjoy the Push Hands meet ups. It gives me a chance to practice and test whatever skills I have, and it’s fun too.

Push Hands Get Together

By Chris Leave a Comment

I had a very enjoyable time at last Sunday’s Push Hands session held at Fawkner Park, South Yarra.

I managed to drag myself out of bed and do 30 minutes of Chi Kung to loosen up before driving to town which took about an hour. Memo to self – don’t drive down Toorak Road -too busy!

Well, I survived the ‘ordeals’ – finding a parking spot and training.  We had nine turn up, four Tai Chi practitioners and five Wing Chun practitioners.  Training ranged from gentle to vigorous (without the killer moves :). Interesting to experience Chi Sao vs Push Hands.

We trained for two hours with a ten minute break in between. Ten minute rotations between participants.

Push Hands & Sparring Tips Pt 1 – Guo Shifu

By Chris Leave a Comment

Here’s a very good explanation and demonstration of Push Hands and sparring by Guo Shufu.

I’ve watched this clip several times. The first few times I concentrated on reading the subtitles and then focused on the actual demonstrations.

It’s certainly a great resource if you want to learn the finer points of Push Hands and tips on sparring.
