Push Hands - Developing "Listening Power"

Based on the Martial Art of Tai Chi, "Push Hands" is competitive non-contact drill that teaches players to "listen" or feel and manipulate energy coming from their opponent. The objective is to get your opponent to step first but mastery of this drill requires players to be grounded through their insteps while keeping their hips underneath their center mass. A great drill to instill the importance of playing with a grounded base and a precursor to our "King of the Ring" Polish Drill.
