The more that you train it, the less that your skill will be realistic.
If you try to tell people how to use "wheeling step (or stealing step)" to lead your opponent into the emptiness, people only train stationary PH has no idea what you are talking about.
The basic XingYi principle is even if you may not find an opportunity to attack, as long as you keep moving, you will find that opportunity.
I just don't know why Taiji people don't like to move around.
In answer to your question, something I noted long ago...
Push hand practice 2003
Mr Bai, a Wu taiji stylist, student of Wang Peisheng
would often come by and. push with members of the group.
The pushing style focused on lightness and change....developing an understanding and ability of
"ting jin" ability to listen to force
Mr. Bai, was / is quite skilled....his take as many in my teachers group this was the format they used as an approach to fighting..
Having just come from the US to meet with the person who would be my last taiji teacher it was quite different.
One might ask what was different.
They do step, did throw, and had no problems knocking people down... With out an understanding and ability to use and express "jin"
using any type of direct force was a bad mistake...
More so if one could not express themselves in the native language ..
Not being able to, doing so would be taken as a direct challenge....ie: trying to win
In the clip I had originally shared my point was to show some of the stepping and intent..
Which at the time, feeling how different it was, was just offering Mr. Bai, a target to express his power against.
interesting and fun..
Found that one often learns more by feeling, allowing others to express their force
Comments by "wayne" show an ignorance, not interested in addressing...
My mistake in sharing some work
In my teachers group they didn't play around....either you were their to train or not,,,
those not...visiting as some did...
.
It was kind of funny also sad watching what happened to them..
What always fascinated me was that those I felt solid as a rock, quite connected able to change fast..
When they encountered my teacher, one did have to wonder whether they were faking it or not....
That is, until one had a chance to interact with my teacher.....
He and others like him, as shown here with the teacher and Mr Bai.
...
with out "jin" often lacking in the practice of others for what ever reason....
The PH practice that you've mentioned becomes rather dead, not really alive....
doesn't cultivate the type of skill
sets that it was designed to..
