Tai Chi Push Hands: Syllabus Material
The Yang Style Push Hands syllabus includes a variety of formalized drills to thoroughly explore how one can deeply listen to, understand, receive, neutralize, and issue force. The syllabus material is progressive in nature, starting with the deceptively simple '1-8' Preparatory Drills and moving toward Freestyle Push Hands and free sparring.

The traditional Yang Style Push Hands curriculum includes:

Ba Pan Jia Zi (Eight Disc Method, or the '1-8' Preparatory Drills)
Si-zheng Tui-shou (Four Hands)
Da Lu (Large Rollback)
Taiji San-shou (attack and defend form)
