Erle Montaigue – Tai Chi Chee Sau (Sticking Hands) Fully Explained: Vol. 1

Erle explains the crucial topic of Tai Chi Chee Sau, or Sticking Hands, in this short series. Erle has briefly discussed this aspect of push hand straining on earlier DVDs, but never in such depth in a full DVD series. Chee Sau is an addition to Push Hands in which we clasp hands with a partner and begin circling the hands 180 degrees out of phase, never losing touch. We learn to use Eagle Vision and to attack as soon as we are assaulted, using the shortest path and the most power from small distances. We learn at a reflex level how to predict an attack and shift our bodies accordingly in an instant, as well as how to re-attack crucial locations. We learn how to respond subconsciously by observing how our opponent’s body moves in order to predict the sort of assault that will occur even before it occurs!
