Looks and feels like you have lost little bit more feeling of Chi in second part of this form. Both times. And much more in total at normal speed. Also upper part of body feels Chi, but legs are mostly don't. Except some moves when your attention and allowing Chi to do the job was in there. Take care yourself and your family ☀️

You employ Ti Fang, but are not teaching Ti Fang, and the student is not learning Ti Fang ... Isn't it the only point of Push Hands: To uproot, to sense the uproot (Ting) and then to release as slowly or quickly as you desire?

Be careful of pushes. Some people fall, land on their elbows, and have permanent injuries. Some can fall and hit their head on a hard object and die. Don't assume that someone knows how to fall properly.

Wonderful video Andy! There are truly nuggets of gold in this video if one tries to understand. It is easy to get seduced into trying to get each other off balance and push your partner away. I remember pushing with other fellow students in the Kingsway studio. We would start to try to "get" each other. I don't know if you remember, but you would come by and say... "go back and do circles, you are no longer doing Tai Chi"! Those words stuck with me all these years. I often relate the story to my students. One needs to do the tedious work of the basic patterns of the circles in Push Hands over and over. With time and work, one can start to gain the understanding in the mind and the body of these essential skills you talk about in the video.

Hi Guy, I do remember and I was just repeating what Master Mak used to say. He also used to say that, "There's always a mountain higher". There's always someone that's better. Trying to win detracts from the development of the basic skills. The more that you can invest in loss, the more you'll improve. Happy Practicing!
