middleway wrote:I dont think i know many Tai Chi Throws per say (although i have learnt alot of them). The approach i always follow in throwing is to aim to apply 3 principles when the opportunity arises. This produces limitless throwing 'techniques'.
I call them the 3 pillars of throwing or taking down.
1) Manipulate the structure
2) Lead off balance.
3) Remove points of support.
These three concepts, individually or in any number of combinations be that simultanious or as a cascade, produce all throws or take downs. Having trained quite alot of Judo, BJJ, Cheng Ba gua and Taichi i have yet to find a throw that doesnt fit this model.
Maybe this could be a good approach to take as I have found it flows very nicely with striking work.
Just a thought, appologies if slightly off topic with regards to specificity.
thanks.

OMFG, my master did that to me all the time! Good one! I'm too nice. Totally forgot about it.. It's called 踩脚.

It is the first step of 5-steps, though, so it's a pretty big monkey.

OMG, master Marquez does this all the time, too! Brings back memories of Master Marquez vs Master Pacqiao 3, where Master Marquez made $5 million, as the challenger in this fight:
