無為 Wu Wei" (non-action) 

鬆柔推手技藝內涵老莊「無為」的邏輯思維，及易經「陰陽相濟」的哲理。故能吸引海內外武術愛好者的目光與參與。

鄭曼青大師與宋志堅宗師的推手訓練法，強調走化的技藝，走化技藝，需要具備吃虧、謙恭、禮讓、捨己等方面的心理素質，才能放下強力與企圖心，使身手輕靈，於推手互動中，處處隱藏身手，以便發覺順勢而為，及牽動四兩撥千斤的契機。如同老莊「無為」的思考邏輯，表面上看似柔弱、無能、無用、無心，其實不然，這是訓練太極拳聽勁與懂勁的途徑，在走化過程中，不斷要求自己放棄強力對抗，鬆持筋骨化解來力，反而激發身體各部位潛能，磨練筋骨的延展性與柔韌性，故鄭曼青大師言：「吃虧即是佔便宜」。

太極拳論：「須知黏走陰陽。粘即是走。走即是粘。陽不離陰。陰不離陽。陰陽相濟。方為懂勁。」推手技藝的陰陽，在雙手的動靜變化、雙腿的虛實轉換，及身體的剛柔應變等。配合黏貼連隨不丟頂的訓練要訣，以順勢或牽動的手法，創造最佳的出手時機。

The Art of Supple Push Hands

The art of supple push hands embodies the philosophical principles of "Wu Wei" (non-action) from Laozi and Zhuangzi, as well as the concept of "yin and yang interdependence" from the I Ching. These profound ideas have attracted martial arts enthusiasts from around the world.

In the push hands training methods of Master Cheng Man-Ching and Grandmaster Song Zhijian, the focus is on the skill of "leading and neutralizing." Mastering this skill requires a mental attitude of humility, selflessness, and a willingness to lose. Only by letting go of forcefulness and aggressive intentions can the practitioner move with agility and conceal their movements in interaction. This allows one to seize the opportunity to redirect force with minimal effort, as described in the saying "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds." On the surface, it may seem weak, passive, or purposeless, but this approach cultivates the sensitivity to listen to and understand energy (jin). Throughout the process of neutralizing, the practitioner learns to abandon resistance, allowing the tendons and bones to soften and absorb force, thereby unleashing the potential of the body while developing flexibility and resilience. As Master Cheng Man-Ching famously said, "Suffering loss is gaining an advantage."

The Taijiquan classics state: "One must understand the interplay of adhering and leading, yin and yang. Adhering is leading, and leading is adhering. Yang cannot exist without yin, and yin cannot exist without yang. Only through this interdependence can one truly understand energy." The yin and yang of push hands are reflected in the dynamic changes of the hands, the shifting between emptiness and fullness in the legs, and the balance of hardness and softness in the body. Combined with the key principles of sticking, adhering, connecting, and following without resistance, these methods create the perfect moment for issuing force during an interaction.
