Don't know Push Hands? Come learn! Don't practice Tai Chi, I Chuan, or any number of Chinese Martial Arts that do Push Hands? Doesn't matter!

Please remember to:

• Warm up and stretch out. It's up to you to get your body ready to move and be moved.

• Tell your partners about any injuries you have and if they need to be careful.

• Help your partner learn. We're more interested in learning than "winning" within the narrow boundaries of these exercises. Share observations with your partner, and accept theirs. Give them enough pressure so they can learn but not so much that they're always failing.

• Change partners. Everyone moves in different ways. Different body types require different approaches. Thank your partner and move to the next when you're ready to try something else.

• Offer suggestions! We're meeting to learn from one another.
