This was shot on Da Qing Shan, May 2013. Master Chen Zhonghua was observing some of his students practicing competitive Tui Shou (Push Hands). He then stepped in to 'show them how it's done'. What he is demonstrating is how to apply traditional techniques from the Yilu form directly in grappling scenarios against a resisting opponent.Chen Zhongdua is very strong with his T'ai Chi practice and application. So be sure to take care when studying and doing what he demonstrates. It's mainly for advanced students. Please feel free to contact me, if you have any queries.
That said, self defense in T'ai Chi is neither elaborate nor athletic. You see that movements are straightforward and economical. That is, Master Chen kicks, and push, and altogether moves just enough to defend himself.
