HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Taiji Push Hands, historically known as Jieshou or Dashou, is the essential interactive component of Internal Martial Arts. This volume is presented by Master Yan Chengde, the eldest disciple of the legendary Chu Guiting. Chu Guiting's lineage is unique for its synthesis of Yang Style Taijiquan with the explosive power of Xingyi and the fluid agility of Bagua. This DVD focuses on the Deflecting Movement (Da Shou) and the Four Corners (Siyu) push hands methods. Historically, these drills were the secret laboratory where practitioners tested their structural integrity and Listening skills (Ting Jin) against a live opponent. This DVD preserves the authentic Chu Guiting approach to interactive combat, emphasizing the transition from solo form practice to effective martial engagement.
TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY
The technical philosophy of this curriculum is centered on the principle of Adhere and Follow (Zhan Nian Lian Sui). The practitioner seeks to maintain a constant, sensitive connection with the opponent, neither dropping the contact nor resisting with stiff force. Master Yan Chengde explains that Push Hands is a practical fighting skill designed to detect the actual condition, sphere, speed, and direction of the opponent's force. The goal is to create a state where I am smooth and the opponent is awkward (Wo Shun Ren Bei), allowing the practitioner to control the opponent's barycenter and draw on the end of their power to deliver a decisive counter-attack.
BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Biomechanically, Push Hands is an intensive study in structural buoyancy and kinetic energy management. Master Yan provides a deep analysis of how to use the whole-body kinetic chain to absorb and redirect incoming force through the legs and into the ground. The training focuses on the rotation of the waist and the opening of the joints to create a spherical defensive structure. The sensitivity of the skin and muscle is drilled to a high degree, allowing the body to react spontaneously to changes in pressure. This neigong-based approach ensures that the practitioner remains Song (relaxed) yet Peng (buoyant) at all times, utilizing the Dantian as the central pivot for all neutralizing and offensive actions.
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION
This DVD provides a meticulous breakdown of the Push Hands and Deflecting Movement technical routines. Master Yan Chengde demonstrates the various patterns of interactive play, showing how to detect the void and solid in an opponent's energy. The instruction covers the application of the eight energies (Peng, Lu, Ji, An, etc.) in a dynamic context. By practicing these interactive drills, students develop the high-level tactile sensitivity required for real-world combat. This volume is an indispensable resource for any serious Taijiquan practitioner seeking to understand the true interactive depth and internal sensitivity of the Chu Guiting Lineage, providing the technical keys to mastering the art of deflecting and counter-striking.
