Marvellous. I wish I had had this to hand while teaching T'ai Chi.

It is the same with the students' eyes, when pushing hands...

Thank you very much, Caroline.

There's a T'ai Chi class in my town that I pass the sign for every day. There's a man pushing hands on the sign. Now that I know the term for it, it makes me want to take the class.

Pushing hands changed my life, (sorry to sound evangelical). But yeah, good T'ai Chi is transformational. No idea where you are based, re your class, but good luck. Also, not even sure how I discovered your writing today. But glad I did. Greetings from Dorset, UK.
