Push Hands DVD 1 by William Phillips (Preowned)

Push hands is the skill of sensing through your hands, lightly neutralizing and applying counter force. It is a middle skill, arising our of the Tai Chi Chuan form, and is a practice and skill in its own right, as Tai Chi form is. Also like form, while complete in itself, it is a doorway to the next skill, martial applications. Taught by renowned Tai Chi instructor William C Phillips, this video is formatted as a series of lessons on the fundamentals of push hands, explained through solo and two person exercises, as well as a variety of neutralizations. These skills are helpful for good push hands, using minimal effort to get optimal results, according to the principles of Professor Cheng Man Ching.
