Push Hands is a martial exercise in which two partners twine each other's hands to train their tactile responses and quickness. While practicing, the partners should comply with each other without being separated, moving freely and flexibly, rotating the body and avoiding forcible contact.

Later partners may want to "challenge" each other with pushes and other types of attack. Even if you play Push Hands from another style there will probably be some variations here which you can learn from Chen ZhenLei's performance.

Hands are loose and generally held a little wider than Old Frame. Spine is loose.

This method is highly organized taking the practitioner not only through a series of steps but different angles and formations. Probably the most consistent and sequential of all presentations of Push Hands. Applications are shown but are somewhat secondary to the general plan of progressive steps. Fixed in this case means "no stepping." This first disk gives the basics to the Push Hands structure. But Li demonstrates quite a number of methods. All are broken down and fit into the concept of the square in the circle or, as Li puts it, the Four Sides.

Further demonstrated and broken down by another member of the Sun family style. This set is divided into two parts, moves 1-38 then 39 to the end. According to the box the "two swords can be divided for single exercise of divided for attack and defense exercises."

SUN JIAN-YUN, the daughter of the very famous martial artist and writer, Sun Lu-Tang leads this demonstration tape of the Sun Style. Though the cover lists Sun T'ai Chi there is more here than that. This is not an instructional DVD but starts with a performance of Sun T'ai Chi by Sun Jian-Yun, herself an "old Shihfu".

Wu Style Tai Chi Broadsword is called "13 Tai Chi Saber Actions" focusing on the combination of basic and essential actions which constitute the form. The Wu-family-style Tai Chi Saber is strong, fluid and precise. Similar to the Yang version some of the actions are - in our opinion - truer to the historical usage of the weapon. Li Shihfu himself teaches with an able demonstrator to show the transitions.

Chen-style Saber is considered a "short" weapon. 13 key movements and energies are exploited thus the name, 13 Method Saber. This is a short form with good, solid saber basics which include: close; thrust; block; chop; cut; intercept; twine; slice; parry and raise. This version shows characteristic Chen timing, reeling, softness and stepping. Played lightly for a saber but within the scope of Tai Chi's flavor. This Double Saber set consists of 35 movements which include: hack; chop; parry; thrust; intercept; press; push; slice; block and swing. The old saying that, "With the saber look to the free hand, with Double Sabers look to the feet," is true since footwork controls the angles of the blades and alterations of this attitude. This is a good, solid Double Saber that, due to the requirements of the weapons, doesn't show any particular tendency toward the Chen or any other style. Just good, comfortable Double Knife work.
