| | Pushing hands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pushing hands also teaches students safety habits in regard to their own vital areas, especially acupressure points, as well as introducing them to the principles of chin na and some aspects of the manipulative therapy or tui na also taught in traditional T'ai Chi Ch'uan schools. | | | Pushing hands is practiced so that students have an opportunity for "hands-on" experience of the theoretical implications of the solo forms. | | | In that sense pushing hands is a contract between students to train the defensive and offensive movement principles of their martial art; learning to generate, coordinate and deliver power to another and also how to effectively neutralize incoming forces in a relatively safe environment. |
