Touch and Pushing Hands


Sensitivity is a key aspect of pushing hands

I remember reading a story in which a member of the Yang family was admonished for letting an opponent touch his sleeve, which was torn.

This illustrates the need to work on the neuro sensory approach, to work with the lightest touch. If we only work on a brute, muscular level we will end up getting stuck and unable to interpret the energy of the other person before it is too late and upon us.

Never hold on to your own ideas obstinately in practice;

Ordinary exercise is enough for taking care of health.

 

The skill of conducting the spirit comes from a place beyond external form.

The subtleness of exerting the mind only exists in a state empty of thought.
