Tai chi tuishou vs class 3 lever syndrome.

Posted on 23 September, 2022 by Sinclair Martial Arts23 September, 2022

Tension in the arms forms class three levers that reduce the mechanical efficiency, increase your total shear modulus, and interfere with the centripetal geodesic.

Proper relaxation means that the opponent cannot push you in any direction that does not follow the centripetal geodesic into the earth.

When you do it properly, the opponent either bounces off of you or rolls off, missing you entirely.
