Maybe you should stop trolling me. I only read the posts where you quote me and ask ridiculous questions and badger me for to film video to somehow back up mere statements and opinions that I make.
I too only write about my first hand experiences for those that might be interested.
I wouldn’t even be writing anything if there was anyone else writing about Fali and the Mao side of the IMA. I’m filling a gap in information. A 1% contribution to offset the 99% of posts about Yang style push hands.

What I don't understand is why people think 1 point push is "high level skill"?
If you can grab on your opponent's arm, your body and your opponent's body are connected as one unit. There is no way that you can push him away. So, if a simple "wrist grab" is the counter for "push" then push truly has no combat value at all. There is a good reason that Taiji people don't want to talk about "grab". Because in their mind the grabbing is a low-level skill and their opponent will never do that.
in the demo he is using his legs, just not in the way you'er thinking...
there is a saying " the highest level of movement is no movement"
If one can send his Energy, power, ect through the other they have control of the whole body....
different idea then hooking / biting / part of the body.
one of the ideas behind the practice of PH to be able to develop this from one point of contact...

I mean, what happens to anybody in any art if they meet with an encounter that demands skill they haven't gotten yet? How long is a piece of string?
It's disingenuous to take one piece of training in isolation and hold it up as the system as a whole. There's always a "what if".
Like... "what if you only know xingyi and you have to punch somebody but don't have room to take a step?"
You hear how dumb that sounds?
