Introduction:

Push Hands is the unique Taichi exercise to practice the yin and yang movements of our body. Learn to move effortlessly, yet powerfully.

Many Chinese martial arts, including Taiji, Xingyi, Bagua, and more, have a form of push hand that they practice. No matter what your background is or how long you have been practicing, you're welcome to come to this event. It'll be a good opportunity to meet other people who are also interested in refining their skill.

We are a casual group that get together each Friday to chat, practice, and play. Push hands is the emphasis but we also practice qigong and some self defense techniques. The agenda is informal and depends on the interests of attendees. Think of it as a ballroom dance club where you meet and practice what each other are interested in.

Beginners are welcome. Beginners may also be interested in checking out our meetup - Taichi Awakening - which teaches many of the foundations of push hands practice.
