Willkommen in der DTB-Lehrerschmiede für Richtig Lernen und Lehren

Tai Chi und Qigong Lernen mit Dr. Langhoff: DTB-Lehrerausbildung deutschland-weitIch habe die Inhalte dieser Website bereits an anderen Stellen veröffentlicht, doch der einheitliche Rahmen hier soll denen die Orientierung erleichtern, für die WISSEN-WOLLEN wichtiger ist als das GLAUBEN-MÜSSEN der Taiji-Qigong-Szene.

 Quelle: wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_stairs#/media/File:Impossible_staircase.svgDeren "Qi-Esoterik" und "Penrose-Treppen" erschweren echte Weiterentwicklung. Ich hingegen stelle innere Urteilskraft über Infotainment, Folklore und Ideologien. Ich setze auf Realität, Klarsicht und Resilienz mittels der Disziplin der Körper-Geist-Einheit.

Er beruht auf 50 Jahren Erfahrung. Ich habe bislang Schüler aus über 40 Ländern unterrichtet und viele bis zum DTB-Ausbilder zertifiziert. Meine Lehrinhalte Tai Chi und Qigong bezeichne ich gern als Chinesisches Yoga.

Push-Hands-Definitionen im Lichte internationaler Forschung

Internationale Recherchen zu den Push-Hands-Partnerroutinen werden zunehmend auf Englisch publiziert. Der DTB begrüßt diese globale Entwicklung, die durch die Social Media wie Youtube und Facebook, aber auch durch sonstige Plattformen, Foren und Netzwerke angestoßen wurde. Doch leider nimmt dadurch die Transparenz nicht zu - im Gegenteil: Es wird all zuviel Unbelegtes als Tatsache dargestellt - so daß selbst Wikipedia nun die Reißleine zieht und gerade Behauptungen zu Taijiquan, Qigong und Tuishou / Pushhands mit dem Warnhinweis "unverified" versieht.

Als Ausgangspunkt mag gelten: Push Hands ist eine systematische Erweiterung des Praktizierens von Solo-Formen. Die Routinen bilden als älteste Überlieferung heute die bekannteste und wichtigste Taiji-Partnerübung weltweit.

Push Hands Definitions

Rigorous scientific scrutiny is widely unknown amongst practitioners of the Chinese routines of Tuishou/ Pushhands. DTB series in English contribute to the intriguing developments in modern science concerning the terms "Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan)", "Qigong" and "Tuishou (Pushhands)".

By using the English terms "Push Hands" and "Free Pushing Hands" German speakers already attribute a special meaning to tuishou and their synonyms "Schiebende Hände", "Klebende Hände", "Schlagende Hände", "Fühlende Hände" and "Zerstreuende Hände".

Push Hands Definitions

There is a plethora of recent fact-checking showing the fallacy of many current definitions of push hands / tuishou. Still most practioners shy away from facing these intriguing findings. Their clinging to "political correctness", myth and sterotypes has become a part of the problem rather than its solution.

An interesting Side Note: Beliefs vs facts ...

This behaviour, as odd it may seem to scientists, is all too human. Here is a good example: In an interview with Brian Greene Richard Dawkins relates to his childhood. He was very gullible at that time and while playing hide and seek his friend claimed to be able to make himself invisible - and in fact he could not find him.

Mr. Dawkins´ comment in the interview: For me then it was more plausible to believe his supernatural powers than to think he lied to me.

Push Hands Definitions - Wikipedia vs DTB-Association

All over the globe you find contrasting definitions of tuishou as practitioners interprete the routines in many different ways. One popular notion is this and we can use it as a starting point:

Tui Shou (Chinese: 推手, pinyin tuī shǒu; Wade-Giles: t’ui shou, internationalle Push Hands / Pushing Hands) references two-person training routines, especially in Taijiquan but also in other internal martial arts. Their characteristics are to yield instead of resist according to the principle of "taiji (yin yang philosophy)". The meaning is indeed profound and should not be underestimated: Instead of countering force with force one should yield to incoming forces and redirect them to the opponent. This resilience follows the laws of nature and often leads to success.

Wikipedia´s user generated content reflects the most common notion:

Pushing hands works to undo a person's natural instinct to resist force with force, teaching the body to yield to force and redirect it. ... Push hands allows students to learn how to respond to external stimuli using techniques from their forms practice.

Pushing hands, Push hands or tuishou (alternately spelled tuei shou or tuei sho) is a name for two-person training routines practiced in internal Chinese martial arts such as Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, Taijiquan (tài jí quán), and Yiquan. It is also played as an international sport akin to Judo, Sumo and wrestling, such as in Taiwan, where the biannual Tai Chi World Cup is held.

Pushing hands, Push hands or tuishou (alternately spelled tuei shou or tuei sho) is a name for two-person training routines practiced in internal Chinese martial artThis wiki definition and all its wide spread variants of pushing hands have been criticised for a long time by the German umbrella association DTB (Deutscher Taichi-Bund - Dachverband für Taichi und Qigong ev) as being false and too narrow. Those "explanations" are misleading and barely scratch the surface. They are merely "politically correct". They are illogical, arbitrary and ideologically distorted. Moreover these opinions are unverified as wiki rightly states (This article needs additional citations for verification).

The DTB recommends fact checking and uses the following interpretation:

"Tuishou (chinese 推 手, pushing hands or push hands)" denotes the partner forms of "internal martial arts (内 家, Neijia)". Their internals are based on "Taiji (太極, highest principle, yin-yang unit)". Their effectiveness is based on "dynamic flexibility and this potential ultimately forms "the soul of Asian martial arts". Push hands therefore encompasses much more than "Taijiquan & Co".

Push Hands - Sino-japanese research

Sino-japanese research of the German umbrella association DTB (Deutscher Taichi-Bund - Dachverband für Taichi und Qigong ev) shows the fallacy of all too many current definitions of push hands / tuishou. These intricate partner routines serve as a linchpin in the field of internal martial arts. Their potential ultimately forms "the soul of Asian martial arts". Push hands therefore encompasses much more than "Taijiquan & Co".

But opinions on pushing hands differ widely and depend on who you ask. The typical is "Push Hands is what I want it to be"! This diversity causes misunderstandings and reduce the immanent potential of these intriging partner drills. Sooner or later many adepts find themselves in an impasse. See article " Tuishou - Opinions, Quotes and Thoughts".

And moreover one additional problem with definitions is that you need other words for them... And if you choose the wrong conceptions it makes matters worse and raises a plethora of questions like "what constitutes an internal martial art?", "are there criteria, which differentiate internal from external?" and last but not least "how to deal with lost information?"

Push Hands Definition proposed by the German DTB

Die Tuishou-Pushhands-Definition des DTB-Dachverbandes inclusive der Synonyme ("Schiebende Hände", "Klebende Hände", "Schlagende Hände", "Fühlende Hände" und "Zerstreuende Hände") lautet:

"Tuishou (chin. 推手, Hände-Schieben, international Push Hands)" bezeichnet die Partner-Formen "Innerer Kampfkünste (内家, Neijia)". Deren "Internals" beruhen auf "Taiji (太極, Höchstes Prinzip, Yin-Yang-Einheit)". Ihre Effektivität beruht auf "dynamischer Flexibilität und dieses Potenzial bildet letztlich "die Seele asiatischer Kampfkunst". Damit umfaßt Push Hands viel mehr als "Taijiquan & Co".

Update Tuishou-Ausbildungen in Deutschland

Eine sehr geschätzte Besonderheit der "Lehrerschmiede Deutschland" ist das "Integrale Pushhands". Das bedeutet u. a., daß die Partnerübungen als Brücke zwischen Tai Chi und Qigong einen systematischen Baustein der Aus- und Fortbildung bilden. Dabei ist die Kassen-Zertifizierung für alle drei Fachsparten inbegriffen - inclusive der für die ZPP nötigen Konzept-Einweisungen.  Quelle: Tuishou / Pushhands: Ausbildungen in Deutschland mit ZPP-Zertifizierung für Krankenkassen-Kurse.
