When working with a partner, the four techniques of ward-off, rollback, press, and push are the first of the thirteen dynamics to work on. Stand in one place and do the four techniques rolling in circles, then do them advancing and retreating, doing them at a middle height. Then do them higher and lower as well, practicing at all three heights.

Yes, David, that is what I am getting at. I want to do all them as partner drills in their most basic form, with footwork, then with applications, rather than focus on Tuishou. Is there any reason that you only work on the first four and not Cai and Lie?
MaartenSFS wrote:Ah, so you mean that Cai and Lie are more practical for grappling? I see. Lv is too, though, right? How much time do you spend on Kao and Zhou? I honestly feel like these are more practical in grappling that normal striking as well - especially Kao.
I feel the same way as you. I'm more of a striker as well. The good news is that Taijiquan can accommodate both.
People here comment that I look like a Russian. I've long ignored what other people think things look like..
