HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Pushing Hands (Tui Shou) is the bridge between the solo technical routine and actual combat in Taijiquan. In the Wu Style lineage founded by Wu Yuxiang; Pushing Hands is practiced with a focus on scholarly precision and internal efficiency. This DVD; featuring Master Sun Jianguo; explores the traditional methods of the 'Middle Stroke Frame' applied to partner work. The Wu family’s approach to Tui Shou emphasizes the redirection of force through superior structural alignment and mental intent; a hallmark of the 19th-century Hebei martial tradition.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The core principle of Wu Style Pushing Hands is 'Zhan Nian Lian Sui' (Adhere; Follow; Link; and Follow). Sun Jianguo demonstrates how to maintain constant contact with an opponent while remaining 'empty' to their force. The movements are compact and controlled; reflecting the Small Frame philosophy of the style. Practitioners are taught to use explosive power (Fa-Jin) only when the opponent's balance is fully compromised. This DVD covers both stationary and moving Pushing Hands; providing a complete curriculum for internal sensitivity training.
BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES
Biometrically; Pushing Hands is a study in 'Neutralizing' (Hua-Jin). Sun Jianguo explains how to use the 'Vertical Axis' to rotate away from incoming force without losing structural integrity. By sinking the weight and aligning the joints; the practitioner becomes like a revolving door—yielding to pressure while simultaneously preparing a counter-attack. The biomechanics of the 'Dantian' as a pivot point are crucial here; allowing for the efficient transfer of energy from the ground to the point of contact with the opponent.
LINEAGE PRESERVATION
This instructional video is a vital record of the authentic Wu Style Tui Shou system. Sun Jianguo’s teaching is rigorous and devoid of mystical claims; focusing instead on the tangible mechanics of internal martial arts. By documenting these partner exercises; the DVD ensures that the sophisticated combat theories of Wu Yuxiang are preserved for modern students. It is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the practical; martial side of Taijiquan through the lens of a scholarly lineage.
