This video clip shows a progression from stationary Pushing Hands to mobile Pushing Hands. First, Sifu Wong shows the mistakes one should avoid in Pushing Hands. There should be leverage in pushing. One should push from his back leg, and not from his shoulders. It should be noted that this gliding in to push is meant as a practice to develop certain skills. In actual combat the practitioner could have struck the opponent. Secondly, it is very important to “close” or “cover-up” the opponent so that it would be difficult for him to strike while you push. This “safety first” principle is often neglected by many students.
