Training from the inside to the outside makes a lot of sense. I’ve met a number of people doing internal martial arts but who started off from the outside. They knew how to fight and were very tough, but they lacked something…a softness, subtle mess, an ability to deal with that close-in-force.
Will the internal work of push hands translate to being able to react to punches and kicks of the opponent when your not yet connected?. Secondly, how would you close the gap from out side to gain contact?
Yes, pushing hands is a tool for training many different things. Everything can be applied if you know how. Closing the gap is another part of training and should be seen as a skill in its own right. Pushing hands has many different levels of intensity and stages, like Paul mentions in the video.
push hands is an exercise that connects the point of contact with your center. develops real power in your technique but you have to train in this part of push hands a lot.
What internal martial artists have to remember about pushing hands is that it is a subset skill and not the be all end all when it comes to fighting. I see too many wind churn practitioners and others who think they will be fighting in the manner that they do push hands that's not going to work out for them. Being able to stick follow guide lead adhere join Are great skills but they are not The complete picture in a fight with someone else who is not attempting to stick to you and instead is just intent on striking you.
At distance you would have to practice defense skills. Without good defensive ability on the outside a good puncher and kicker will hurt you. Tactile training at contact and at distance stimulus recognition without touch.
It’s so tiresome to hear people, even the student here, putting down internal artists, talking about woo, etc. There are frauds in every art. There are also people who weren’t taught well and don’t know any better. I’m sure there are plenty of bad, unrealistic MMA and BJJ teachers out there. Constantly bring up woo and all that is just ego. It doesn’t serve the art. We need to cultivate the good and let the bad be what it is.

Very nice videos thanks a bunch m8! Mr. Rogers is amazing! 88888!
Paul brings it alive and cuts through the nonsense that’s built up around a great martial art!
That explains all the bad boxing in sparring Kung fu tournaments. They don’t have the
Sensitivity training to make the art work.
I think Sensitivity training helps for Grappling and Wrestling Situations but not necessarily for punches /kicks from outside Distance.
@@hubertploberger985 with contact be unavoidable there’s a chance to apply technique based on the pressure exerted by the opponent.
