Your Favourite Taiji Throws?
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2017 10:14 pm
In the last several years I've focused on striking. I believe that learning proper distance and timing is critical to being a well-rounded fighter and that, if you can control the fight from a striking range, adding kicks and throws is the next logical step. I'm also tall and fairly thin, so striking comes to me more naturally. Now that I feel like my striking skills have reached a decent level, and since I was already good at kicking to begin with, I'd like to work more on throwing. Currently, I am good at just several throws and fairly decent at avoiding take-downs.
When I move back to Guilin in just over a month I'll have the chance to work on my Shuaifa more, so I'm curious as to what throws from Taijiquan's massive catalogue (some of which many may not even know are throws just by doing the forms) you like most. I'm limiting it to Taijiquan because that's what I learned before. When I go back to my master I'll be learning throws from the various systems that he knows. I know that a lot of you focus on Shuaifa, so I'd appreciate it if you could make a short list and include the Chinese characters, if you can. Gratitude!
