'Tiger's Mouth' application - 01/05/06 05:00 PM
saw on a 'Tai Chi' series documentary recently ( see here )
and the 'Tigers Mouth' was mentioned in terms of the pushing hands of Tai Chi rather than the "rolling" sticky hands incorporated into Goju (translated as 'Tora Guchi').
This was completely new to me...what can anyone tell me about this 'distancing' technique as it is practiced in your Chinese Art?
(I study Okinawan derived styles of Karate, so if you can frame in that reference, that would be great)
thanks,
