We have begun to explore the Yangjia Michuan Taiji Tuishou (Push Hands) exercises in our Saturday intermediate class. Wang Yen-nien taught the complete set of 15 exercises at the NYCYMT sponsored 1996 Workshop, which took place at the West Side YMCA and at Mercy College in the Summer of 1996. With help from others, and Master Wang’s permission and encouragement, I was able to document the event and have made the videos available for those who wish to study and learn Yangjia Michuan Taijiquan. As we begin to practice each exercise I will post corresponding links for study.
We have recently finished publishing Mark Linett’s Tuishou notes from his time learning from Master Wang in Taiwan and thank him for allowing his important work to be available through the NYCYMT site. I am pairing a section about each of the 15 exercises from Mark’s notes with the corresponding video, which is the first time these to documentaries of Master Wang’s teachings have been presented together. Mark’s notes are a suitable companion to the video and together they will help students better understand the tuishou journey.
The crane in the logo is original art by Holly Leavy, whose work appears throughout the site. There will most likely be ads that come up in the videos, which I have no relation or connection to, as these videos are on my YouTube channel. This blog/site will remain ad free.
