DEVELOPING HUA-JING OR NEUTRALIZING SKILL

Pushing Hands

Hua-Jing or Neutralizing Skill


Have you wondered why “Pushing Hands” is often carried on in circles? The reason is that the circle is an effective way to neutralize an opponent's force as well as direction. When an opponent strikes you, instead of meeting his strike head-on, you yield or follow his strike a short distance, then using his momentum deflect it and turn it back to him. This aspect of Pushing Hands, where one yields, deflects and counters in one smooth movement, known as “hua-jing” or neutralizing-force, is practiced here in stationary pose, without moving the body or the legs.
