Afternoons

Free Push Hands – Play? Fight? Explore!

Free Push Hands is formless, creating random patterns. Working with a partner and leaving the form behind, you can explore the form of formlessness.

Playing, fighting, dancing, experimenting, … – No matter which your favorite view of personal interaction or martial arts is, all boils down to communicative action. Push Hands is not about speaking and explaining – we use our hands and bodies to feel and to communicate.

The single rule of trying to follow the Taiji principles with respect for your partner allows you to experience Taijiquan in a non-formalized way as a practical martial art. In bodily communication with your partner, you can safely explore the meaning behind the Taiji Classics and the unique challenges going with it:

  • How to effectively eliminate body tension?
  • How to align body, mind and spirit in action?
  • How to deal with fear and aggression?
  • How to put your intention into a non-wilful action?
  • How to meet hardness with softness?

Merging with others without losing yourself, you are also invited to dance with questions of everyday life:

  • How to stay focused while going with the flow?
  • Why to invest in loss?
  • When to lead and when to follow?
  • How to create meaningful communication?

This common communicative background of Taijiquan allows practitioners of different styles to practice and work together on their understanding of the principles. Join us and let’s go a bit of our way together!
