Really? He is leaving November 7. Thought it was Boston. Which student?He won't be there, it will be one of his senior students local to the area
I like both videos. I can see MA intention in both clips that usually I don't see in most Taiji PH clips. In these 2 clips, one person shows intention to grab the other person's wrist. The other person show intention to get away from his opponent's wrist grabbing. I also like the combat speed shows in these clips. IMO, this kind of training do have combat value. You can move in normal speed. You don't have to stay in old man speed.

I did much the same training with my Shifu.I like both videos. I can see MA intention in both clips that usually I don't see in most Taiji PH clips. In these 2 clips, one person shows intention to grab the other person's wrist. The other person show intention to get away from his opponent's wrist grabbing.

I try to grab your wrist; you try to not let me to do it. You try to grab my wrist; I try not to let you to do it. After we have repeated it over 10,000 times, both of us will develop some valuable MA skill.

I would equal Boxing equipment training with for example Taiji pole-shaking, PH is a sparring setting.Boxers punch a speed bag for timing and rhythm
Skipping rope coordinates breath, body, and mind
Do boxers train these activities with "fighting" in mind, or do they focus on developing specific skills, understanding that these will enhance their overall fighting ability?
Similarly, internal practices need a live body to train with in order to understand the level of development. Just as boxers use the speed bag, rope skipping, running, etc., to build attributes that are later integrated into the skill of fighting.
The difference, rope skipping, bag work with inanimate objects, are practices for the body to be integrated through sparring.
Internal work needs a " live body" to work with, to test and refine inner practices...
later to be integrated through sparring
The problem with push hands, a training method turned into a competition, the skill development is often neglected in favor of optimizing for the rules to gain an advantage during competition.
By doing so they destroy the
Often seen in the public fails of long time practitioners in meeting with those who don't do push hands,
they do fighting

Yes, this they also figured out in Japanese martial arts where they even in some cases put a padded cover on the tip of staff during sparring, can hurt anyway.Per my shifu, this is why traditional Yang now has staff and not spear

When boxers practice punching the striking mits the mit-holder do smack the boxer now and then if not keeping the guard correctly
I didn’t say mitt-holder is sparring, I referring to a boxer must keep martial spirit even during such equipment training cause the mit holder may remind boxer if guard is off.would not agree with this perspective. IMO a mistake many make
Mitt holders are not sparring with the ones they hold the mitts for; they are acting as targets.
PH is a sparring setting even if it has restrictions, guard is essential

自己的意氣是不是通出體外了,要問對方。在初級階段,與對方一搭手,對方感到不過,就說

To know if your own intention and energy (意气) are being projected outside the body, you need to ask your partner. In the initial stages, when you make contact with your partner, if they feel overwhelmed, it means that your internal energy has reached them. Through further practice and learning, you will gradually be able to 'listen,' 'ask,' 'control,' and 'release,' using intention and energy to affect others and engage in combat techniques."
I think PH should have purpose. For example, to guide my opponent's arms away from my attacking path so when I attack him, his arms won't give me any trouble.He refers to pushing hands as rubbing hands...
