Push Hands Drills at the 2015 Clear Internal Push Hands Workshop
There are people who have played this kind of Push Hands for years, even decades, yet they are no closer to having real internal skills than when they began.
External movement is the enemy of internal skill.
If the goal is to develop true internal skill, then the internal elements need to be isolated.
It’s just like how a body builder isolates muscles to work, or how scientists isolate variables in an experiment.
Without isolation, results are murky and unreliable.
There is one Push Hands method that isolates internal power better than anything else out there. Developed by Master Ma Yeuh-Liang (one of China’s 100 Living Treasures of the martial arts), he called his Internal Push Hands game “No Style.”
The rules of this game are set up to get rid of every bit of external play that can possibly be eliminated.
There is simply no way to build internal power better or faster than this game.
Unfortunately, Master Ma’s method is no longer taught publicly by his lineage. In fact, the inheritor of the system (Master Liu Ji Fa) revealed that he only teaches this method to his two closest disciples.
The good news is that, before Master Ma died, he taught his game to Sigung Richard Clear.
That is very good news for anyone who wants to build internal skill, because Sigung Clear has a well-deserved reputation for teaching high-level Tai Chi secrets publicly.
Richard spent more than twenty years streamlining and refining the method, making it the most powerful (yet still the easiest to learn) system of internal training available.
Sigung Clear is not only committed to making those secrets available, he makes them truly accessible with proven training methods and step-by-step instructions that are,
…well… Clear!
Richard is committed to revitalizing the Tai Chi community by revolutionizing the standard of Tai Chi instruction.
With that goal in mind, Sigung Clear has not only agreed to teach the Internal Push Hands method, he is dedicated to spreading it far and wide by letting YOU teach it.
Most Tai Chi teachers would hoard a program like this. They would want to keep the secrets for themselves in order to keep the competition low.
Fortunately, Richard Clear is a little different.
He believes that we all benefit when real instruction is taught out in the open, and he is willing to prove it.
Until recently this program was only available through live personal instruction, but after a lot of hard work we are finally able to share it with our fans throughout the world.
The Clear Internal Push Hands Instructor Certification package is available now. Nine DVDs packed with over 18 hours of instruction have been carefully designed to get you up to speed quickly and easily.
Clear Internal Push Hands was crafted from top to bottom to deliver real, practical internal skills as fast as possible. It is such a reliable program that we have tested and certified dozens of new teachers with nothing more than the material in this package – including me!
Whether you are fairly new to Tai Chi like I was, or you’ve been practicing for decades, Clear Internal Push Hands will give you the solid foundation of real internal power that you’ve been seeking.
It covers methods for building a DEEP root that stands up to punishment, target your opponent’s root, and hide yours from them.
It will give you ways to keep your structure solid without adding tension.
It has loads of practical advice for staying soft, but still strong and stable, under serious pressure.
There is even material on feeling inside your opponent to sense their structure (both where they are strong and where they are weak), their tensions, their organs, and even their intentions.
You read that right. There is a whole section on learning to sense where your partner is targeting inside of you – where they are THINKING about pushing to – before they push to it.
That is a very high-level Tai Chi secret called Dong Jin, which (roughly translated) means Understanding or Knowing Energy.
This is a skill that most Tai Chi players who have studied for decades have still not developed. There are other teachers out there who allude to Dong Jin in mystical terms, but this is the only place where it is really being taught (and that alone is easily worth more than the cost of the whole program).
This skill and many others are taught in detail throughout this course.
Best of all, unlike other most other internal training methods that are boring or tiresome, this is a game! It is actually fun to work on building internal power with this system.
If you already play some type of Push Hands, this will seriously step up your game. At least, that’s what our students say it did for them, and we have two national champions to prove it. One of our students took Silver in the first competition he ever entered, and he credits Clear Internal Push Hands for his success. (You’ll see more from him soon.)
Clear Internal Push Hands was created as a way to help people build internal skills fast. The Instructor Certification package will take those skills to an impressive level that qualifies you to teach it.
This course is available now.

“I am thankful and grateful to my many teachers including the many push hands students and friends who have helped me train, develop and refine my Internal Push Hands method. It is my pleasure to bring this method to you. I hope that it will benefit you and future generations to come as much as it has me.” -Richard
