Introducing Yiquan Pushing Hands by Yao Chengguang
It is currently well-known that Yiquan has suppressed the system of "taolu" or predetermined sequence of movement to help the scholar
to focus more on the psychological aspect during his training. However, Yiquan system has still inherited from the normal Chinese martial Arts,
the pushing Hands training, known as "tuishou" the most important significant chain to the preventing stage called "Duanshou".
Yiquan Pushing Hands or "Tuishou" is usually underestimated by a practitioner keen to run quick in fight preparation.
In fact, traditionally and this may be retrieved in any severe technique of Yiquan such as for Yao Chengguang method,
the training of P.H.takes all its importance simply after reaching some mastery within the following classes of Yiquan exercises:
- Submit standing or zhan zhuang,
- Testing pressure or shili,
- Issuing pressure or Fajing,
- Steps.
All these earlier classes bringing to the practitioner its particular capability(ies),
- zhan zhuang: in static mode, cultivating universal force in the whole body and contradictive forces, rooting ability...
- shili: same as zhan zhuang however with larger dimensions and with step.
- fajing: enhancing earlier skills to disclose them up to actual combat pace and power.
- step: enhance balance stability, weight switch administration for optimum universal power...
From these talents progressively acquired in training, the trainer needs at a sure stage to take them as much as another
decisive level: that is when Pushing Hands exercise, as a dual associate training, takes all its significance,
bringing increased constraints to a practitioner previously training principally alone by:
- rising bodily resistance to his actions,
- integrating another dynamics to general movements attributable to this interference between two physical impartial our bodies for
timing, distance administration in situations closer to actual combat,
- growing further talents sensing with outlined "touching" zones of the bodies...
Training Yiquan Pushing Hands:
Usually, you will discover two main classes of Yiquan Pushing Hands exercises:
- Single Hand P.H.class which could be divided in P.H. with fixed step and P.H. with step
- Both Hands P.H. category which will be divided in P.H. with fixed step and P.H. with step
Yiquan Pushing Hands - Single hand class:
The significance of Single Hand P.H. is rarely perceived by most practitioners, apparently simplistic and wrongly thought of unrealistic
to stimulate a fight in any type, this basic notion is generally due to the ignorance of actual talents involved during this exercise.
Most of all it is a synthetic testing exercise of all internal abilities you have been training since your first Zhan zhuang standing.
You will begin your training in Single Hand P.H mostly all the time out of your posture of Yiquan Universal Combat Post. Then in keeping with your trainer
or training program: you go by the earlier major varieties of Yiquan workout routines (Post, shili, fajing, step) however with the constraint of going through one opponent
or at the very least an opposing power/strain in your body but additionally executing the circling exchange which is principally the way in which to combine these major sorts of exercises
while alternating the assault from both opponents.
Yao Chengguang did a remarkable and beneficiant effort to disclose clear insights of Yiquan Pushing Hands, making a way for all the martial talents
acquired beforehand in a single exercise and leading one important step nearer to actual Combat.
