Moral of the video: Don't get cocky with Sifu Rand... I was shown an interesting application of this where the rising hand cups the neck and pulls the opponent onto the upward rising knee - very risky to practise it though.

There are so many variations in the many movements of the form. Interestingly enough Sifu Rand and I were discussing this aspect only today. That unlike the vast majority of martial arts use of forms, Tai Chi has multiple applications for almost all of the movements. In fact it's unusual for the movements to be only what you see. And yes it's dangerous to be around Sifu Rand and doing applications 😂
