The new pushing hands class starts this week. I am not going to teach in the traditional way that gives emphasis to the martial aspect of the practice. Instead I want to use pushing hands to help understand the inner qualities and philosophy of t'ai chi.
The topics to be covered :
What can you expect to learn from doing pushing hands?
Contemplation of the philosophy of t'ai chi within pushing hands.
Co-ordination of the body to create a sense of stillness.
Developing sensitivity to the levels of being of another person : Body, Ch'i, Mind and Spirit.
Using t'ai chi principles of application.
Application of postures of t'ai chi to deepen your understanding of the t'ai chi short form.
In the future there will be a self-assessment scheme to help keep a record of your own development. It will be your choice if you want to take part in this.
