This class teaches all levels of skill in Push Hands, a two-person Tai Chi exercise.  It is a practice to understand another's force in order to yield at his slightest pressure and adhere to him at his slightest retreat.  Push hands provides a unique form of extended human physical contact.  It teaches you how to touch and be touched in a way that is neither sexual nor violent.  This class will teach you not only how to react to physical, but also mental "pushes" in our daily lives.  Tai Chi classics say: "Let him attack you with great force, and use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, neutralizing him until he becomes powerless."
