More Yang Tai Chi applications (video)

Taijiquan, Yang

Shot this video last night, and thought I'd share it with you all.

It's more apps from Yang style Tai Chi, focussing on throws and takedowns done in a push hands format.

For most apps I've included a 'classical' application, plus a variation. Here we've got Diagonal Flying, Single Whip, Fan through Back and Needle at Sea Bottom. Enjoy!

Great stuff! Coming to Taiji from an aikido background, I especially like throws and takedowns. I can easily see the "family resemblence" in some of the taijiquani applications.

Aikido and Tai Chi

Thanks Rick. Having only had 2 Aikido lessons about 10 years ago I have no formal training in Aikido, but I've been experimenting with the basic throws (ikyo, nikyo, sankyo, irimi, etc from watching them on YouTube!) in push hands and it seems to me that they all work pretty fine from a push hands format. I think you'd have fun trying to fit them into push hands if you can find a willing partner.
