Hello I don't really do much fixed step push hands, but I work on all the postures of the form in exactly the same terms of receiving and returning that I do in push hands. Neutralising my own centre, sinking to one side,(with an emphasis of having the suggested intent/movement I am receiving penetr...

Steve - I'm struggling to know what your point is? Sorry. I've read your posts through a couple of times to see if I could add anything to the dialogue, but I can't figure out what you are saying?
