push hnads compition...
 

here's doyle from the texas group in one of his push hands matches. doyle went on to win the gold in both stationary and moving step push hands.

Congratulations Doyle on your efforts.

Thank you Ashe for putting up the clip. I'm guessing the opponent was a Yang Style practitioner.

It's frustrating to have rules in place which limit the true potential of I Liq Ch'uan. For example, did you see how many times the opponent intentionally broke contact? It does, however, force us to be more aware, more sensitive, and above all, more patient ;)

Too bad the opponent's technique seemed to fly out the window when push came to shove (no pun intended). That's one thing i notice about Push Hand competitions... often times, it just ends up in a big wrestling match and the true spirit of the competition is lost... never mind :)

Congratulations again Doyle.

Kind regards,

Little Owl.

That's what happened to me all the time:D
