- 13 years ago
Self-Defense Workout: Withdraw and Push into Crossing Hands - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats.
Hello, my name is Tiffany Chen. I'm from William C.C. Chens' Tai Chi Chuan. I am going to work on withdraw and push into crossing hands.
To begin, please turn to your right. Right leg in front, left behind. 80% of the weight in the front, 20% of the weight in the back. Knees bent, relax, exhale, and just gently let your palms come up in front of you. So we are going to, one, collapse, sink into the front leg and push off the front leg. Shift the weight back into the left leg, sinking in, collapsing. And now we are going to turn in and open up the arms.
The right foot turns in so you are pigeon toed. So turn, opening up the arms. The right foot turns in so you are pigeon toed. And now we step back with the left foot so the feet are parallel to each other. Drop the hands down infront and then they come back up and cross at the wrist with the right palm in front. And this completes the segment.
