Thanks BP.....what I suggested would only make your arms insensitive to pain....LOL! |
Although onlookers may find it similar, the concept of push hands and chi sao are different.
I worked on a little push hands with a Tai Chi pract. and I had a lot of trouble with him, however when we switched up to Chi Sao, he had problems with it. My best advice is to focus on what you do right now, and dont worry about anything else. Get good at what you want to get good at. IMO Chi Sao is fantastic on it's own, the concept can be used not only with your arms but your whole body. Getting good at chi sao can and will take a lot of years. You dont really want to confuse yourself by learning Push Hands at the same time IMNSHO.
