Song of Playing Hands

Anonymous. Trnaslated by Barbera Davis

Ward off, roll back, press, push must be done conscientiously
My upper and lower follows each other, (and so) the opponent finds it difficult to get in (to me)
No matter how much force he hits me with, a four ounce pull (I) dispel (his) thousand puonds
(I) lead (him) and he falls into emptiness,
(I) unite with (him) and immediately issue
(I) adhere, connect, stick and follows;
(I) don't loose (the connection) and (I) don't resist.

 The course Sensing Hands is on its way. Here comes an introduction.

Martin Luther King gave on December 7,1964, a speech in London, a few days before he received the Nobel Price for Peace, in which he said the following (quotes):

"And I am sure if the problem is to be solved, ultimately, men must be obedient not merely to that which can be enforced by law, but they must rise to the majestic heights of being obedient to the unenforceable".

"But in a real sense the non violent philosophy comes along and says that the end is pre-existent in the means. The means represent the ideal in the making end the end in the process. And so in the long run of history, immoral means cannot bring about moral ends. Some how men must come to the point that he sees the necessity of having ends and means cohering so to speak.And this is one of the things that is basic in the non violent philosophy at its best".

Reading his speech I was struck by the semblance of the non violent philosophy of MLK and the undergirding principles of taiji push hands. The aim is to come to a non violent solution by techniques as adhering and sticking, by listening and comprehending the opponent. Once understood solutions present itself.

Sam Masich in his workshops speaks about the importance to maintain the straight energies (ward off, roll back, press, push). They are the strongest and also the most straight forward. But these four straight energies connote also a moral righteousness, a certain uprightness.
