Principles of Tui Shou: Ting - Listen

That you're about to read is the first in a series of articles on the principles Tui Shou. The article is devoted to capacity to "listen", one of the skills that we seek to develop in the gym during practice.


The first principle to be observed during the practice of Tui Shou (pushing hands) is Ting (Listen). Listen

be understood how to use our whole body to elicit as much information from our partner practice, in order to "know".



In periods of Tui Shou , as well as eyesight and hearing, the hearing takes place mostly through the skin.

Where by "listening " we mean any information we can implement through the sense of touch during the years of "pushing hands", such as how much force is using the companion, which direction is pushing, etc ...


Thanks to the study of the exercises in pairs you get to develop tactile sensitivity not only of the hands, but the whole body, so that every part of it is trained to receive information.



Listening should not be directed only toward our fellow , but also to ourselves. This ability is trained in the practice of form.
