🌱 Today's Practice:
We explore Tai Chi partner work, often called Push Hands (Tui Shou) — a cooperative practice that deepens understanding of Tai Chi’s body mechanics, balance, and responsiveness. We begin by discussing how partner drills bridge solo practice and martial application, helping practitioners learn to yield, root, and move from the center without tension.

The first half of the session focuses on yielding exercises based on the elements — water, earth, and fire — to teach relaxation, grounding, and awareness under pressure. The second half introduces single-arm circle drills, where partners coordinate advancing, retreating, and turning while maintaining constant, light pressure. We learn about leadership and following roles, the importance of consistent speed and pressure, and how to integrate these cooperative drills into solo Tai Chi practice. The video ends by emphasizing mindfulness, body connection, and how partner work strengthens both technique and sensitivity.
