May 17	comment	What differentiates the major styles of Tai Chi? +1 for referencing Tim Cartmell.
May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? So downvoted, but I would gladly reverse that upon editing such that the answer refers to some aspect of the question. Perhaps I'm missing something, but at the moment this seems to be a treatise about the philosophical aspects of taiji push hands, unrelated to sanshou practice.
May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? At the moment, it's not an answer, since it doesn't address the question. If you added a description about how (and I'm guessing here) it's not necessary to progress to sparring, that would be an answer.
May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? @Ho-ShengHsiao OK. At the moment this answer avoids the question, namely, how to move from grappling-only practice to striking-and-grappling practice in taiji. Saying that tuishou is about no-mind is immaterial to that question, as far as I can tell.

May 16	comment	How does one progress from tai chi push hands to free-sparring? A) Do you practice sanshou in addition to tuishou? B) How is this any different from the goal of all sparring, to wit, "Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious." (Daisetsu Suzuki) This does not by any means preclude the study of technique, it just means that getting good requires internalization of the technique.
