推手 (Tuī shǒu)
Origin: Chen Village, Henan Province. Attributed to Chen Wangting and successive Chen family generations.
Date: 17th century.
Description: A two-person practice designed to develop sensitivity, timing, balance, and neutralisation skills. Through fixed patterns and free-style exchanges, practitioners learn to listen (tīng jìn), yield (huà jìn), neutralise (xiāo huà), and issue power (fā jìn). Push Hands bridges solo form training with martial application, cultivating both cooperative learning and combative awareness.
