Grab, Root and Push

At the four-day workshop on Toronto from Jan. 15-19, 2015, I taught the basic principles of push hands action again. It is to:

1. Grab: get hold of your opponent. Secure a hold. Hook him. Grab him.
2. Secure your foot: Anchor your foot, pivot your foot, root your foot.
3. Act: Push, pull, twist, act.

In the end it is all clear to all that we still don't have the ability to establish a firm hold before the action. The simple principle of contact, don't move, act must be followed.[/login-protect]
