Thanks for posting ❤

This looks like good exercise and can defend against sudden push.

[@Jenjak]

I'm not a big fan of fixed step pushing hands, but the KOTM format seems fun.

[@DCWoodWorking]

Would you say this an effective martial art against say grappling, jiujitsu, or wrestling?

[@ShorelineTaiChi]

I wouldn't say it -- I would put them all on camera and prove it!

This is just sumo with no steps.

[@ShorelineTaiChi]

This is just mudwrestling with no mud. This is just kickboxing with no kicks. This is just ninjitsu with no caltrops. Or, this is just what it is, fixed step push hands. However you like to view it.

Total BS - WORTHLESS ❕

It’s a great way to learn how to keep your center of gravity. No one is claiming this is a superior martial art in and of itself. Like a balanced meal it’s a wonderful supporting nutriment. Squaring up, holding your ground, developing some pushing power, and having some competitive fun! Not to mention a nice way to engage in competition without losing brain cells hitting each other or risking broken bones.
