Rick, this was an absolutely fabulous demonstration, thank you. As someone who is looking to: a. understand how to develop and use this energy b. does qigong (shibashi) for health and longevity I find you are the perfect embodiment of both.
Dear friends and Mr Barret one question...I have shoulder and neck sore muscles..pain..which goes away with ointments....Is there a way to understand the origins and meridian relations to the psychosomatic situation...I feel I have too much burden and worry in my shoulders that I can barely lift...any suggestions what would help alleviate the situations...postures ..taichi etc ..? In urgent search...in a middle age crisis and suffering my share of injustice in this world. Thanks for the videos
I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I have found it helpful to give myself permission to just focus on my practice while I am doing it. During that time you can work on the structural imbalances that cause your neck and shoulder tension.
There are different release powers ' Long power or extended power will move a person across the room ' short fa jing like a jerk snap will break something much like whiplash
This is too big a question to answer here. I have covered this in various videos. Back in the 90s I was a middleweight but often competed in push hands tournaments in the Unlimited Weight category. There I defeated many opponents who sometimes outweighed me by a hundred pounds or more, much bigger and stronger. I didn't "resist" their force with muscular strength. They were much more powerful. Taijiquan trains you to ground that incoming energy through your feet.
You miss the point. She is pushing me. The demonstration shows that Taiji empowers all of us...even sweet little women like my wife. My goal is to make this information available to whomever wants it.

@Rick Barrett What if you were resisting full power?

Finger elbow wrist this video was really helpful thank you
Not such a good idea to use Mrs. Oldwoman to demonstrate on 😬
