Laws Of Exponents Practice

(Sticky hand/Adhering hand)

The object of the I Fu Shou exercise is to upset your partner's balance. This is not because it is a competition with a winner and a loser. Although sadly I see that 'Pushing Hands competitions' are starting to appear, with some Tai Chi Organisations subsequently advertising that one of their students won this or that section, presumably in the confidence that this will attract more students to their organisation.

The types of students that this attracts are the ones who want to win competitions and show off in front of a crowd. I feel this is a retrograde step that moves away from the true spirit of Tai Chi. I do not think that I Fu Shou should be presented as a form of competition which inevitably breeds a winner and a loser. I think it to be a voyage of self-discovery. The custom of which will enable the practitioner to institute a heightened state of awareness, firstly of themselves, then others they come into feel with. There is nothing to lose but your ego. And the prize to be won is humility.

Perhaps by seeing at the names given to this exercise we can understand the dissimilar philosophy behind them. Firstly, to push, this word is defined as meaning: to exert force on a thing, to move away from oneself or from the origin of the force. This in essence seems rather an aggressive attitude.

This type of philosophy leads to ambition, desire, and glorification of the self and the wish to make oneself superior. This inevitably leads to divorce from the Tao (way). There is no harmony here; only conflict. 'Sticky' is defined as tending or intended to stick or adhere. Bind is defined as: stick fast to a surface, an additional one substance, etc. Also, to behave agreeing to, succeed in detail or give hold or allegiance. These words explicate the essence of the study I received from my master. He always taught me that once feel has been made it must be maintained, and that this feel should be light, so light in fact, that if a feather where to fall upon your arm it would sink under the weight of the feather. He also taught me that the object of the exercise was to succeed the movements of your partner, not to force them to change the direction but to allow them to move their hand and arm in whatever way they wish. Studying to work within this framework whilst maintaining your own balance, giving in to their force which completely negates their drive and allows you to gently guide them in the direction they wish to go. Gently, helping them on their way.

If you offer no resistance, then no matter how much force is used against you, it cannot restrict your freedom. By giving in to that force and contribution no resistance your partner sacrifices their balance when they exert force against your arm. By this performance they create a feebleness within their posture that can be exploited allowing you to articulate your balance whilst upsetting theirs. The object of this is not to gain power over your partner, but to learn to remain in operate of your own balance whilst being put under pressure by your partner. This helps us to deal with the problems we encounter in everyday life without losing operate and resorting to violence. And by violence I do not necessarily mean physical violence but also reasoning violence, which is the contemporary way to bully and make people fear you. Power hungry people weave their webs of reasoning manipulation, praying on the weak within our community - we are all weak at some time or an additional one as we fall into our yin periods during our journey through life.

There are no laws, that can be enforced effectively, that will eradicate this kind of reasoning violence that we all have to suffer at some time or other at work, from parents, teachers and countless enthusiastic exponents of officialdom. We just have to learn to deal with it. We have to learn to take responsibility for ourselves. Instead of becoming physically or verbally violent which can only escalate the conflict, we have to learn to Ant. Eject the vigor thrown our way.

In doing so we expand ourselves and weaken the perpetrator, but more importantly we remain entire.

I wish you all I wish for myself.
