PUSHING HANDS — SKILLS AND NOT BRUTE STRENGTH
Pushing Hands — Skills and Not Brute Strength
It is worthy of note that while smaller sized women were pushing hefty men away in an earlier video clip, this video clip shows it is not easy for hefty men to push smaller sized women away if the women are skillful.
Towards the end of the video clip, Carlos pushed Ana away. Take note that this successful push was not due to his superior strength but due to his superior skills. If Ana was more skillful, she could also push Carlos away although she might be physically weaker.
Such skills developed in “Pushing Hands” are crucial in Taijiquan combat application whereby a physically weaker and smaller sized exponent can defeat an opponent who is physically stronger and bigger in size.
