Pushing Hands Class : Rollback, Press and Single Whip

After learning the basic techniques of movement and contact this was then applied to rollback.

A variation of single whip was used to empty the press.

It is a basic idea that force is not opposed by force. So when feeling the force of press towards the chest, the chest if emptied of substantial resistance and the hips and legs soften to further empty the force. Then the right hand aligns with the bones of the opponent and adds a gentle force along the line of the bones and introduces a turning force as you turn at the waist and pull using the hook hand.

This description is intended as a reminder rather for those students present rather than a complete explanation.
