Important concepts in push hands

[windwalker]

In this English-subtitled teaching video,
Guo Shifu explains and demonstrates several important fighting concepts, namely,
1. hu zhong xin - guarding the centre
2. da qian - attacking the beginning,
3. wen jin - asking for force,
4. bi shi ji xü - avoiding the substantial and attacking the empty,
5. fa jin - generating power,
and
6. gun dong - rolling

Funny, just 2 days ago I thought about looking up this guy's videos again. I don't have them saved, but I know you had posted them earlier, so I thought about asking you about them. You are getting good at using the force, you have become a mind-reader!



Thanks!

We have seen this before on here
This guy is much better than Alex dongs group in the other clip
The one thing the dong guy does that he dosent is he reacts to his opponents attack
Gous partner just works the exercise and waits to be thrown then tries to cope when it is too late
The superior player should never attack only respond
The energy should be borrowed and returned with interest
I know he is demonstrating concepts but he should still be able to do that with a live attack
What he is doing is akin to attacking a sleeping man with a baseball bat
Effective but not the epitome of the art
It does not work in real combat against one of similar skill

Is this one of those videos where the teacher is showing things in a certain way because he's being recorded, and they practice in a different way privately?

or is this how they really teach?

Based on movements like "mo wan jung" it seems this might be an example of capitulation.
