FULL CONTACT PUSH HANDS GRAPPLING! Iāve been waiting years to have a group of dedicated group of students that are training the sensitivity drills enough to experiment with the next evolution in my favorite sport of Tai Chi Push Hands. HEAD CONTROL, FOREARMS TO THE NECK, REAL APPLICATION of the explosive space control techniques we train in Taiwanese style Taiji World Cup Tuishou, especially in the gun-game of Fixed Step (you canāt move your feet - knock opponent off-balance or throw to gain points. THIS GAME IS SERIOUS AND REQUIRES CARE FOR YOUR PARTNER TO PLAY HARD. Video drops 7am PST on my Tai Chi YouTube channel:
youtube.com/WorldPushHands
If you train BJJ, Judo, Sumo, Shuai Jiao, Greco-Roman Wrestling, or play football and you donāt train Tai Chi Push Hands, I GUARANTEE you are doing yourself a disservice. This system makes ANY game better.

Welcoming Amar to the Tai Chi family. Amarās applying his brilliant mind to Tai Chi and the connection was instant. I love sharing this practice with everyone, especially when a person has training themselves to think in terms of systems. To experience the wholeness of Tai Chi and achieve the state of blissful oneness, the valuable counterbalance is the specificity of the breathwork, visualization, and body mechanics as separate and intricate systems working in tandem. Bottom line: you get stronger and more aware when you practice with the right mindset.

Welcoming Andrew into Tai Chi training and congratulating Sam on leveling up his @pushhands game with a deep sense of full body power awareness you can feel! The difference between a mindfully connected body and a disconnected one is immense. Once you apply the technology that is Tai Chi to your expertise, youāll feel the difference. Iāll post a video with Sam applying Tai Chi to his wrestling skills in Push Hands so you can see what I mean.
And shoutout to my son on FaceTime in the pic.

Congratulations to my son on achieving the rank of purple belt in Kenpo. Heās trained hard all summer to improve his traditional standup game and compliment his Tai Chi and BJJ ground game. Iām deeply grateful for Sensei Donnie Jeffcoat and all of the great senseis āŖ@shaolinamericanā¬ for their recognition of Jetās efforts to improve.

Iām honored to be hosting my first Tai Chi for the W.I.N. event at Moss in Venice Beach. W.I.N. is a concept Iāve talked about for awhile with my high performance students that span from pro MMA fighters to Disney executives to community leaders when goal setting. Itās an acronym for āwealthy inner narrativeā. In my experience competing at the world class level, my inner narrative has been the most delicate aspect of my performance.
Any thought or feeling to enter my mind - whether self-generated or catalyzed by someone else - has a profound impact on my entire system that is especially noticeable when the stakes are high. Maintaining a mental and emotional diet that points toward my goals has kept me going in the right direction, attracting the right people and lessons, which I call a win!
Iād love it if you can join me for the 2-class event in LA on Tuesday 6.18 and 6.25. You can find all the details here:

Moss is a powerful and peaceful space in the spirit of The Assemblege where I coached Tai Chi in NY. Those of you that spent time there will surely want to visit Moss as a convergence point for conscious entrepreneurship.
Thank you to Moss founder Savannah for experiencing the training and being open to bringing Tai Chi into Moss. Lots of mindful fun will be generated. š¤ÆāÆļøšŖ

Iām always grateful to share Tai Chi with elders. There is something special about sharing wisdom with people who are already wise. Itās like carrying a big pot of gold with a friend and thereās more than enough to go around.
If you have a senior citizen in your life, recommend that they take up Tai Chi. There are many scientific studies that showcase its the best way for a person over 70 to maintain and strengthen balance.
Then again, itās the best way for any age to strengthen balance so go for it!

Shoutout to my Kung Fu Kids in Chinatown NYC! Loved training them (and they made me wish I stretched more as a child).
This post is really a PSA to stretch immediately after every training session.

5 days of Tai Chi with some of the most profound minds in tech and somatic practice. Imagine a room full of CEOs, yogis, wrestlers, dancers and more syncing mind, body and breath toward very precise goals. We covered breathwork, visualization, body mechanics, Push Hands pressure redirection, and how to apply these practices strategically in basic conversations. Total bliss with great humans and I canāt wait till our next retreat.
These are the pics from the smaller groups. Iāll post the larger ones once theyāre shared with me.

You know I LOVE Star Trek. So you can imaging how hard I GEEKED OUT when my new Tai Chi training partner @lorettahidalgowhitesides told me she was hanging with the iconic Dan Curryā¦ the man who developed the Klingon martial arts style, director, action choreographer, VFX and practical effects pioneer and moreā¦ AND that heās practiced Tai Chi for 40 years.
I was ecstatic to meet up with them at the āŖ@spacetourismconference3723ā¬ in LA and had my mind blown with Danās stories across the film business, Star Trek, martial arts, and getting a personal art show of some of his favorite paintings (including his photo-realistic work that got him a matte painting job with George Lucas)..
Plus, I got Danās stamp of approval on āŖ@JusticeForHireā¬ (my version of Star Trek, but 5 minutes in the future), and āŖ@reelwurld-studiosā¬. He totally understood that my upbringing in martial arts and media has led me to build a company that turns people into superheroes through cinema.
Feeling encouraged, I had to ask Dan what he felt was needed in the world of storytelling. Hereās his shortlist of what āthe world needs to CELEBRATEā:
- Courage
- Family loyalty
- Helping people in trouble (empathy)
- The consequences of greed
Iām looking forward to more time with this amazing human.

Honoring the sport of Tai Chi Push Hands (Tuishou). This is an aggressive game of angular pushing, pulling, and space control, related to but not to be confused with the softer 2-person drills associated with the Taiji system. It will benefit any grappler to spend time with this sport and its unique approach to space control. Channel created by Coach Jan Lucanus, former captain and coach of the US Tai Chi Push Hands Team (2009-2011). Train with Coach Jan at www.JansTaiChi.com.
