Wulong Tai Chi Kung Fu is pleased to announce our first workshop for 2025.

Encore - Taichi Push Hand Techniques and Yang 9 Duel Workshop

Due to popular demand Profesor Lily will again present Wulong’s biggest workshop teaching the martial arts techniques of Tai Chi Push Hands or tui zhou, and the corresponding Yang 9 Duel Routine.

Push hands is a two-person training routine practiced to enhance students understanding of martial applications, of attack and defence. The duel routine allows students "hands-on" experience of theoretical implications of the Yang 9 solo routine. With push hands, reflex and sensitivity to another's movements and intent are developed enhancing yin and yang and realising health, meditative, and self-defence benefits.

It is the perfect opportunity for individuals to gain a greater understanding and experinence of push hands in practice.

“Push hands is very important for tai chi students to increase their understanding of the martial applications of tai chi.” says Professor Lily,

"Push hands practice will improve your tai chi foundation and practice through increasing reflex, reaction, coordination, strength, and balance. Energy flows throughout the whole body, with benefits for cardiovascular health and circulation.”
