San Tui Shou San Tui Shou is where the san shou techniques are worked into the free style push hands repetoire, one at a time, gradually progressing to free style san shou with fixed techniques. Free style san shou with fixed techniques is the free interplay of the san shou techniques learnt at this stage but kept to within the taught repetoire. Later this progresses to free style san shou. This is where initially the teachniques from Fixed San Shou and San Tui Shou are practiced in a free unsequenced manner then evolves to emphasize appropriate action suited to the random situation even if that action is not a standard technique. Here the free play of the effects of chin are truly given and is as close as you can get to actual combat but without the intent to harm.
Experience is built up here and formless application of the art developed.
The weapons forms are the application of the aspects and principles of Tai Ch'i Chuan in the use of weapons. The training sequence for the weapons are much the same with the fistic training with the form, the two man practices like the sticky sword, broadsword and spear. All comments are most welcome.
