Application of Supple Push Hands

 Application of Supple Push Hands

The application of supple push hands requires a light and agile body. Throughout the process, the hands and legs must adapt to the situation by maintaining a flexible transition between movement and stillness, as well as emptiness and solidity, allowing the body to naturally exhibit a balance of hardness and suppleness.

The "Xi Ci" of the I Ching states: "Movement and stillness follow a pattern; hardness and suppleness are thus determined." Mastering the interplay of movement, stillness, emptiness, solidity, and the dynamics of hardness and suppleness reveals the skill of overcoming hardness with softness.

［鬆柔推手應用］

鬆柔推手應用，必須具備輕靈的身手，過程中兩手與兩腿要隨勢保持動與靜、虛與實的靈活轉換，使彼此的身體自然產生剛柔的現象。

易經繫辭：「動靜有常，剛柔斷矣」，能掌握動靜、虛實與剛柔變化的脈絡，就能展現以柔克剛的技藝。
