So, we see a lot of promoters now, what is thebiggest question?
As soon as two people fight each other, they have already regarded each other as opponents first, and this state has nothing to do with Tai Chi.
So what is the first thing to do in Taijiquan?
It means that as soon as you meet and take over the other party, you will immediately become one with him and feel every move of the other party
The fluctuation of the other party's air must be within the range of my perception.
It is very clear in the theory of boxing:
"People don't know me, I only know others, and heroes are invincible, and they all come from this!".
Therefore, there is a very good word in Taijiquan called "Tingjin" . Why is it not called "Mo Jin", but let us "listen to Jin"? What is "listening"?
Just so that you don't put your mind on your own sense of touch, because it is impossible for your sense of touch to listen.
This word is really used very cleverly, and it has a feeling similar to Zen.
The Zen master said to listen to the cloud, and Yun obviously read it, so how could he ask me to listen?
In fact, it is to keep you from being attached, and listening to the cloud is to let you feel the state of the cloud.
This is a very important thing in boxing practice. If you can understand the concept of Wuji,
you have already started practicing boxing.
You said it is convenient or not, I think it is very convenient, but too many people do not start from here when they practice boxing.

C'mon now, don't be that way. I for one have always totally respected your right to be completely off track on numerous thread topics here. LoL Luv ya, brother!
What I have learned is that what I thought was yielding is running away. We yield to accept the energy and meet it with our own to join. Then their pushing you is like your forearm pushing against your elbow and your pushing them is like your shoulder moving your arm.
I don't understand the question.
The result comes from the condition. Conditioning comes from the exercises.
...
So I just work on getting to the state and keeping it. It vanishes so easily.

So how to deal with, or interact with, an opponent is not important. Building conditions and maintaining them are.
Got it.
IMHO, both aspects are important, but I guess YMMV.
But sure, keeping a certain mind-body state is probably the most important thing. One of my teachers used the word "integrity", that you must always keep it intact. I like this way of expressing it. You can also say that your balance, structure and mind all have a specific integrity. The problem is to keep it all when dealing with outside force. You still need to understand how to interact with force to be able to keep your own integrity, or to maintain certain conditions. I can't really see how you could separate the aspects of interaction, but again, YMMV.
Largely though it isn't about "an opponent" so much as it is about working with the energy itself. The opponent is just a medium. Could also be a chair, a door, a dog, a refrigerator, a girlfriend, an auditorium.
