How to practise Tai Chi Techniques Hold Ball Retreat to deflect with both hands Turn to Deflect

In this apparently innocuous part of the Tai Chi form we see a number applications. There is a short clip in this video of a feature film in this video which I do not have the copywrite for however I show it here for educational purposes under the fair use policy and I make no claims to its content.
Probably the biggest difficulty in making these films is in doing a reasonable attack knowing that you are going to be hurt just to make sure that the technique is shown properly. Despite a great deal of control being used, techniques don't work if they are not done to some extent properly. We hope you enjoy our videos.
Good Luck with your training.

None of that looked easy to film but was very interesting to see. Some of the techniques were unexpected from such small movements. Thanks for sharing.

It's all hidden until it's needed, then out of the shadows comes the unexpected response. I love the way his whole body rotates freely on its central axis. It's very compact but loose and springy at the same time. Sifu Raymond Brand was very gentle with you two, this time...

I see now why that posture is tradionally referred to as 'Holding the Ball'...
