Partnerwork and Pushing Hands
and 
​Fred Hao Workshops for 2026

Pushing Hands is a term given to describe a whole range of partner exercises, both choreographed and freestyle and based on the martial art that is Tai Chi Chuan. These exercises, based on principles of softening, yielding, listening and following encourage you to respond to situations creatively and along the way find out a bit more about yourself.

Angus is now offering regular partnerwork workshops
and
great news for this year is that Fred Hao is visiting in August to share his skills and teaching with us.

PUSHING HANDS AND PARTNERWORK
If you think about how much of your life is in relationship - conversations, emails, texts, phone calls, as well as more intimate relationships, then you realise that a lot of your life-time is about relating. Pushing Hands gives us one way of exploring all of this. 
​
In Pushing Hands you start by simply listening to the contact with another person and to the information that the contact gives you.
You develop your sensitivity and ability to respond as well as your sense of grounding and resilience. 
Based on the idea of 'yielding' like a reed in the wind, in pushing hands you learn to listen, to follow what is happening and create out of that. You don't respond to what you think might happen or what you want to happen; just simply what is.
It's nice and profound.


Newcomers and more experienced players are all welcome to join the classes and workshops.
