First 13 moves of the 24-form.
This demonstration focused on showing the internal movement of the form. Breathing is heavy to demonstrate how it works with body movements.
Overall, this is not how a person trains. It is an exaggerated demonstration.

Ling Zili and Brian Chung Push Hands Demo-Sydney 20210424

In Practical Method, horizontal moves must be seen. Feeling and thinking you have horizontal size is not enough. It must be real!
Verical moves, however, are the opposite. By nature, vertical moves don’t create horizontal size and therefore no visible to the human eye. Whenever vertical moves are seen, it indicates there is horizontal movement involved and therefore it is an error.
In both cases, a point of reference with a physical object is the best way.
Instructors Brian Chung and Ling Zili performed Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method (Foundations, Yilu, Erlu and Push Hands) during the World Taiji Day at the University of Sydney in Australia on Saturday 24 April 2021.
There were over 200 people at this event organised by the Tai Chi Association of Australia which was an excellent turnout as was held during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In attendance were disciples Janet Ho, Ling Zili, John Saw, Brian Chung, John Ho and Paul Pryce.

Turning Flower over from the Sea Bottom
Today, there is a big breakthrough.
The shoulders finally find the kuas in this movement. It was very possibly due to the exercise taught on Mar 30, 2021:
- Use the kua to push the hand out. Shoulder, kua and elbow are one piece. The hand stretches against the shoulder. This is a very practical push hand move.
REMEMBER THE PROCEDURE that gets me here, but DON’T FOLLOW THE FEELING.
Fist of Hitting and Lifting
The flip from one side to another needs to happen because of torso going down. More precisely, the two shoulder-to-kua axes go up and down against the central non-moving axis. Read more

Train the scissors as an ability/skill. Two way split, in both elbow and armpit, 2 dots. In use or push hands, it is paper cut model, with one side being fixed, like an opponent holding you and you cannot move. Like the crab pincers.
Train the elbow. Thread through the needle, push into pull. Pass the demarcation line/dot. We always move after going through the hole. Before that, it is a push. Elbow has to pass the line, go over.

Chen Zhonghua’s disciple Sun Yang in black pushes hands in a friendly manner with the fourth place winner of Shandong Provincial wrestling competition. The person in white is a professional wrestler from the Shandong University of Sports.
Fist of Lifting and Blocking 搬拦肘
- Lock the two elbows as if they are on a table
- The two fists only go up to go around. They also have to stretch against the two elbows. Imagine that you have a wall parallel to the chest right in front.
Generally,
- The kuas control the rotation on the central vertical axis.
- The knees control the height of the body/torso.
- The elbow control the horizontal movement.

Kelvin corrected me on #42 to #44
#42 Embrace Head to Push Mountain
Starting position: chest facing N; hand facing W; half-horse stance R foot rear, L foot front.
- L hand elbow in, palm up, come around to R side, past R shoulder.
- R hand, palm down, at L armpit.
- Hinging on R elbow, swing R hand palm down diagonally towards NE.
- Adjust stance slightly, by moving heels, so that L foot becomes rear and R foot front.
- Foot in Hand out – bring R foot in and push R hand further out by straightening elbow, in scissors-like action.
- Negative Circle both hands.
- Hands “holding up” head, above shoulders, on either side of the head.
- Push both hands down on R side, similar to Six Sealing Four Closing; at the same time take a big step to the R, but unlike Six Sealing Four Closing, L foot stays put.
#43 Change Palm Three Times
- Imagine a long narrow tube slanting down between your 2 hands. Stretch out L hand, palm inside tube, palm facing left.
- Stretch out R hand inside tube, palm down, while at the same time withdraw L elbow having L hand palm up.
- Arms wrap around in straight line front of abdomen, R arm inside, L arm outside.
#44 Oblique Single Whip
- R hand comes out from under L elbow, forming bird beak, going all the way to the right, shoulder level, similar to Single Whip.
- Shift weight to R foot. Take a small step to bring L foot closer to R foot, then take a big diagonal step to land L foot so that chest faces NE.
- Extend L hand all the way to the left, shoulder level, similar to Single Whip.
Position check: chest faces NE; 2 feet on NW line; half-horse stance.

Common mistake in push hands:
- Shoulder tends to come up and have power (wrong).
- Kua tends to go down and not have power (wrong). Read more

3 beats. Cloud hands. When it is 3, the middle is stable and not affected, 2 is swollen but time is taken.
Stepping in six sealing four closing, avoid double heavy, arms go vertical and stepping is horizontal.
Dantian fits tight in a pipe with a lot of tension, no slack/tossing/large protrusion. Example: fist draping over body. The torso is switching inside a pipe, you have to turn over the joints. Foot and oppo arm stretch, the arm is rotating in the shape/frame. Forearm no move can only rotate in a pipe, twist the waist to create the stretch. To twist, you have to lock and move the rest, to create the helix. No twist, no power. It is the yin yang separation. And we continue to create tension on top of the other without releasing/losing any, until the jar explodes. Fundamental moves are a circle.
