Push Hands

Blind Fold Free style Push Hands

Highest form of push hands, free style push hands blind folded. It is hard at first, and then all of a sudden, your ears start to hear better. You can feel the wind on your arms and face, all of your other senses start to become very strong, and once you feel these things, is when  you really start to understand why they make us train like this.

Blind fold push hands, Sifu Krys van Hoofs students in Ky Moo Kwan Toronto

Sifu Krys van Hoof started to teach in Toronto, here is her top students doing blind fold push hands, which is not easy to do, it takes a very long time to find not only the right partner to do this with, you also have to be trained in this method in order to have excellent results. Without the training, you would be moving around with no order, or understanding of what you should be doing.

Push hands

Both Sifu Gallant and Sifu Dee have been working on Push hands for years. First you have to learn how to do single push hands forwards, single punch hands side way, double push hands in one spot, double push hands moving in various determined patterns. Then you learn to move with your partner in a free style push hands, using all of the motions that you learned, except now trying to help each other into and out of techniques, the thing is, as westerners with all the sports we have, there are some from the west who think right away of beating your partner up, and then you win, yippee you win. This is not at all what it is to be like with Chinese training, you have to get away from win or loose, and start to think about living and dying. Plus when you do your push hands together with your partner instead of against, the sky is the limit for what you will learn. Lets face it, we miss so much when going to fast, we can't feel it, we can't see it half the time, and we can't move properly with exactness. We really have to get way from being competitive, which can cause you to learn less then more. I know it is hard to explain, but I want you to think about it and then ask your instructor about this. See what he or she says.

Now when these two do push hands it is something to watch, truly something.

Much more to come
