Advanced Pairwork Exercises - Martial Application

Here's a good example not only of advanced pairwork practice in this Huang Sheng Shyan Yang Style system but also of how the martial application is not restricted to men only. In this video Yoke Chin (http://www.cloudhandstaichi.com.au/) who teaches in Sydney is the pairwork partner for the Master. She holds her own and just to be able to have the priviledge of being the pairwork partner for the Master means that she has to be at high level. Note that neither use strength, leverage, or force but instead have to "listen", follow the Taiji principles and flow with the other. To accomplish this there is no ego, nor preconceived plan of aggressive attack involved. In this advanced routine they demonstrate different individual pairwork exercises (usually practiced separately and much slower) that are combined and flow effortlessly into one another.  From here you can more clearly get an idea of the martial applications of this slowly practiced, mysterious, very misunderstood and very misrepresented art.  Enjoy and keep practicing.
