Tai Chi: Single Whip

Video Transcript

"So six sealing and four closing into single whip. This movement is generally I think of this as potentially a multiple opponent application. Initially you can very easily be holding off two people at the same time so from six sealing and four closing. Single weapon. So initially I am going to do this in two parts so I am going to strike here, that's the first possible application for this and then we will change over here so similar, step in between the opponent's legs, shoulder strike and possibly back, then possibly an elbow strike and you want to let the opponent keep on pressing in to you at this point, draw them back, and then strike in the face. Single weapon, you are going to step in between the opponent's legs, shoulder strike, elbow strike, and then while we try to keep the opponent nearby preferably have them fall into you at this point and then striking again to the face."
