About Push Hand:

Push-hand is a kind of martial arts exercise in which two partners twine each other's hands to train their tactile and quickness. While practicing, the partners should comply with some basic Tai Chi Chuan principles such as sticking to each other without being separated, moving freely and flexibly, rotating the body and avoiding forcible contact. The strategy entails increasing sensitivity so one may avoid the opponent's strengths while focusing toward his weak points. Combining the basic techniques of grasp, catch, kick, jackknife and punch, the exercises practice warding off, deflecting, pushing, pressing, trampling, throwing, elbowing and learning to obtain a sensitivity of knowing the enemy intention in advance and making quick decision of how and where to attack or defend.
