Where is the real Tai Chi pusher?

Tai Chi tuishou, also known as beater or hand rub. It is an exercise method for two people to practice Tai Ji Chuan's knowledge and skills together. It follows the principles of "static braking", "soft power", "small power conquers big power", "sticking, receiving, sticking, following" and "not throwing the top", and uses the techniques of "pushing, sliding, squeezing, pressing, picking, elbowing and leaning" according to the advance and retreat. Tai Ji Chuan's frame is the body, push is the use, and the body and use should be closely combined, and it will work for a long time. Practice boxing well, then apply it to the pusher, enrich the pusher with the boxing ring, and test the boxing ring with the pusher, that is to say, the pusher is based on the boxing ring, which in turn tests and corrects the boxing ring technology. If the boxing ring is theory, then the pusher is practice, so that over time, the combination of body and function, theory and practice can form a leap in kung fu. But these must be trained hard under the guidance of teachers, in order to gradually reach a higher level. Of course, if you only practice boxing without pushing hands, it will be difficult to deeply understand the requirements of Tai Ji Chuan's method, let alone use Tai Ji Chuan's frame flexibly, breathe freely and exert your strength skillfully, and you will never achieve high achievements in Wushu.

Pushing hands is a form of practical martial arts training in Tai Ji Chuan, an intermediate way to learn and apply Tai Ji Chuan's methods, and a ladder from learning boxing to learning Sanshou. Pushing hands are two people fighting in actual combat without protective equipment. They skillfully use Tai Ji Chuan skills to control their own balance and destroy each other's balance. Pushing hands is not a rush, nor a casual joke, but a serious comparison of internal strength and skills between the two sides. As soon as the two sides contact, that is, the stage of finding out each other, we should measure each other's strength from the overall movements of hands and feet, and fight calmly to see who can easily subdue or get rid of each other. The whole process is realized by detecting each other's strength, strength, length, speed and movement direction through the sensitivity of skin touch and proprioception. In this process, it is required to be good at observing each other's reality, strength and direction, and be good at controlling each other in various situations and effectively attacking them. Pushing hands plays a particularly important role in improving Tai Ji Chuan's sports quality, such as skin touch, proprioception, reaction speed, strength skills and inner strength quality. It must be pointed out that pushing hands is the main means to obtain Tai Ji Chuan's martial arts, which has certain martial arts practicability and can exert real martial arts effectiveness. But after all, it is not a practice, but only a martial arts practice. To some extent, the internal change of pushing hands is more subtle than Sanshou. From the content and difficulty of training, pushing hands is much more complicated and difficult than Sanshou, so the speed of pushing hands should be slow rather than fast. Of course, the final pusher will also serve Sanshou. Although the forms of Wushu are divided into pushing hands and Sanshou, they complement each other and are a unified whole.
