By Marks & Katz, LLC

  Once again, yesterday, I learned great lessons at the Capitol Hill t'ai chi-sensing hands/push hands practice, including the following for sensing hands:   - Move hands little and with little force.  - Connect elbows with pusher.   - Connect palm to pusher's'wrist.  - Rollback and press against opponent.     - Push against opponent's forearm, using the lower body to push.  - Sink into the press and push.    The hand movements become like a hydraulic system, without using much hand-arm force.   The foregoing principles also apply very much to persuasion and to engaging opponents in any battle.  As always: Relax throughout, and apply the t'ai chi principles throughout.
