AUGUST 5th PUSH HANDS WORKSHOP
HAS BEEN CANCELLED SEPTEMBER 2nd - SECRET OF THE EFFORTLESS PUSH
SATURDAY 12:00-2:00pm The secret of the effortless push is to first neutralize properly. Use your whole body to root the opponents force through proper body alignment. Allowing the opponent to push into your root can make you stronger if you can absorb the force rather than deflect it away. Use the opponents force, rather than your own effort; to uproot them. Less is more when you use less effort and have more effect.
