These are necessary tools to apprehend further Pushing Hands and Free Sparring.

Pushing Hands of Yiquan
Pushing Hands (Tuishou) are a very specific way for two opponents to compete proper to Chinese Martial Arts, moreover they constitute a decisive preparation
for real combat as they will request the balanced combination of smooth movements delivered during Try Force by specific Yi Quan footwork.
Principles to be applied: Use rules but not shapes.Try to feel without deliberately seeking for it.
As a very complete training exercise it will bring out the real skills acquired by the pratitioner from various major prepartive exercises (Stake, Try Force, Apply Force...).

" The real purpose of Pushing Hands is not moving these hands but pushing your opponent " Bo Ciajong

Testimonials

"I was not impressed by Bo JC skills in the beginning compared to Yao CG or Wang YX... but after returning back to his DVDs (after several years) I found them very complementary once having set up strong basis in Post training and Shili. Now I would recommend them for intermediate/advanced student rathen than pure beginners in Yi Quan. I apprecaite for example the training of body reaction: a more dynamic "Iron Shirt" as dscribed in other documents. "

"I would prefer a longer and more detailled Pushing Hands section but the Applying F. is quite unusual in its contents and kind of compensate the previous section with systematic body condtioning in phase with Yiquan whole body power. I honestly consider these DVDs for anyone willing to widen your Dachengquan knowledge"
