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. Tai Chi body mechanics allows you to use less effort
and have more effect. Learn to yield without loosing ground and neutralize to gain an advantage. Develop alignment to absorb force And learn to push from the root. Elaine Waters takes complex and potentially esoteric concepts, and delineates them into simple, easy to understand ideas,
called tai chi body mechanics. Elaine Waters shares her deep understanding of Tai Chi principles, and body mechanics as applied to push hands. SIGN UP TODAY AND RESERVE YOUR SPOT!
