FULL CONTACT PUSH HANDS GRAPPLING! I’ve been waiting years to have a group of dedicated group of students that are training the sensitivity drills enough to experiment with the next evolution in my favorite sport of Tai Chi Push Hands. HEAD CONTROL, FOREARMS TO THE NECK, REAL APPLICATION of the explosive space control techniques we train in Taiwanese style Taiji World Cup Tuishou, especially in the gun-game of Fixed Step (you can’t move your feet - knock opponent off-balance or throw to gain points. THIS GAME IS SERIOUS AND REQUIRES CARE FOR YOUR PARTNER TO PLAY HARD. Video drops 7am PST on my Tai Chi YouTube channel:

If you train BJJ, Judo, Sumo, Shuai Jiao, Greco-Roman Wrestling, or play football and you don’t train Tai Chi Push Hands, I GUARANTEE you are doing yourself a disservice. This system makes ANY game better.

☯️💪

Important concept for serious grapplers and Tai Chi Push Hands players. Deepen your understanding of Tai a chi “sticking” by learning to roll your opponent’s skin and muscle to create leverage points. Watch the full video now on my YouTube channel:

Had to share this video since so many folks still don’t know about how great the sport of Taiji Tuishou (push hands) is and how it can supercharge other disciplines. NO BS TAI CHI ALLOWED.

Had a powerful conversation with a homeless man that approached me while I was doing my Tai Chi form (Wu style). When he asked if it was meditation or martial (great question) I shared the concept of Time Under Tension to clarify your own body weight and structure to better prepare the practitioner for sparring. He loved the idea, and proceeded to share many powerful words of wisdom on life, for example:

• We’re all born knowing the Law of Attraction - all we have to do is cry to get what we want.

• Thinking is one step under Knowing.

• Spelling is important in all words (eluding to precise attention to detail, rather than relying on tools like autocorrect to allow us to not use parts of our brain).

I believe his name was Cordero and he was in the North Hollywood park off of Magnolia. If you happen to meet him, tell him Tai Chi Coach Jan says hi.

I’m honored to officially announce I’ll be the HEAD JUDGE of the very first World Series of Taiji Push Hands (). ALL martial artists, BJJ players, grapplers, wrestlers, and tough people are welcome to compete for the $1,000 PRIZE.
