Tai Chi's Push Hands Law of Primal Unity

Videos are generally posted by someone trying to make "Their" point.... whether that point is correct or not is always debatable...Basically you're not going to see a Judo is the most awesome art ever video posted that is going to make Judo look bad.....

Unfortunately, an awful lot of videos posted for CMA look very bad.

Some things just don’t translate to video.

Should you answer my question with your video proof too?

The problem is you question the validity of the practice itself.

Any video I would show you like this one

would then become the subject of another discussion, I'm not interested in.

CMA in general has had a hard time over the years proving that what people practice can actually be used. Much of my time as a younger man was spent helping to disprove that with those I met...

I'm a little older now, understanding that while it was kinda fun, it was also pointless back in the day...
In talking to some of the noted Sifus we both knew, always found it kinda funny...

They would talk about "Qi" and then set limits on what people could do with it, suggesting that those who did other things were fake...

All the things they couldn't or didn't do...

Can we honestly say that a student uses his teacher as a demo partner doesn't exist. I don't believe my teacher would let me to use him as a demo partner (I'm just different).

Are we talking, teaching environment or public demonstration.

Most that I've met don't in public demos... some do.
With others, in teaching environments, it can be dangerous...
The Mantis teacher I had in Korea, Mr. Park, was like that, having used his art during the war...
Due to his experiences, sometimes he couldn't stop a reaction he might have,
if a person did something unexpected during a demo,,


Quite interesting training with him....
Park Chi Moon.
Shifu Park Chil Sung was born in 1930 in what is now North Korea.

He never mentioned his teacher's name..
We used to try to get him drunk, and ask him,,
he would laugh saying "i know what you'er trying to do"

Took some 20yrs later before I would find out who it was.
