THE IMPORTANCE OF COVERAGE

Pushing Hands

The Importance of Coverage


While pushing, it is important to close or cover not only an opponent's hands but also other parts of his body, such as his head and legs, so that he has little or no opportunity to counter strike. A common mistake in foot placement is where the opponent may kick the practitioner's groin. It is not a question of whether the opponent knows how to exploit the weskness but that we do not give away this weakness in the first place. Notice that with good technique, a lady can push away a hefty man.
