My observation is that the red opponent can use lower waist power, it can bend and twist, very agile and powerful. The black one’s power held on upper back and chest and his waist is stiff and less flexible. That is why he could not neutralize red one’s attack. Same findings in other push hand’s video such as the Wang Feng’s one. It reminds me in “Chen Zhonghua 2012 Prague Private Workshop 1” , gets to have the waist power to use the push hand techniques.
Is it just me or does this look more like wrestling, judo or shuai jiao? Is this how push hands is supposed to look like?
In China, there is no fixed step Push Hand competition. The emphasis is to allow as much freedom of movement while keeping safety in mind. In this respect the player can use any technique within the rules. And if Taijiquan want to live up to its name as the ‘supreme’ fist, it should overcome other techniques
Although it was beautifully executed fighting technique, at 43 sec. red should not have been awarded points..he way overhooked blacks neck to get the takedown which is usually a deduction. Black was actually pretty good at sticking his front kua but then lacked seperation and follow through when he started to get advantage. Red had a great method of jamming blacks kua, controlling his hips and his 3 stage exchanging hand in second takedown at 4:00 was really impressive. from jamming the hips to quickly underhooking the armpit and really good rotation got him going then exchanged hands again and followed through with another rotation and even backed out at the end completely stable….well trained…thanks for sharing it with us.
