In this presentation, Kristos and Sahu examine the intricate role of fascia, the connective tissue that links muscles, organs, and energy pathways. They explore how fascia influences movement, posture, and emotional well-being, highlighting its connection to myofascial slings, meridian channels, and the deep front line.

The presentation covers the relationship between acupuncture, manual therapy, and energy transmission, as well as fascia’s role in conducting biochemical and electrical signals. They also discuss its impact on homeostasis, aging, and injury prevention.

This session offers a deep dive into the integration of science, ancient wisdom, and holistic healing.

Pushing hand tips
Aligning the scapula creates a connected, stable upper body structure that optimises energy flow and power transfer, while rounding the upper back promotes flexibility and adaptability.

These principles allow you to maintain balance, neutralise incoming force, and redirect energy with ease.

Crushing the Opponent’s Center – The Tai Chi Mental Approach

In Tai Chi, the concept of “crushing the opponent’s center” is less about brute force and more about strategic intent, balance, and focus. It reflects the art of disrupting their stability, physically, mentally, and energetically, while maintaining your own inner calm and alignment.

This approach requires us to cultivate mindfulness and precision, learning to feel and respond to subtle shifts in energy. By grounding ourselves deeply in the moment and staying centered, we gain the ability to move effortlessly into our opponent’s space, neutralising their power without compromising our own.

Tai Chi reminds us that the true opponent is often our own ego or fear. Mastering the mental approach of crushing the center teaches us not only how to win in conflict but also how to remain unshaken in life’s challenges.

Stay balanced. Stay centered. Stay in control.

Elemental Pushing Hands: The Science of Balance in Tai Chi ☯️

In Tai Chi, the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are more than philosophy; they represent dynamic states of energy within the body and the universe.

Elemental Pushing Hands blends scientific principles with ancient insights to enhance coordination, sensitivity, and balance.

🌀 How It Works:

🪵Wood
👉Explores upward growth and expansion, refining adaptability.
