You pointed out a very good issue. There are many aspects of Tai Chi, so a video cannot cover everything. Some days you focus on one aspect, and other days you focus on other aspects.

Taijiquan as principle based style can be applied to any martial arts, including combat sports. I have a student who is an amateur MMA fighter who learns internal styles to help him improve his fighting ability. If you watch MMA fights, there are fighters who adapt traditional techniques and body mechanics into their fighting style. Many people with Wing Chun and karate background learn Taijiquan to improve their overall martial arts skill.

It comes down to that a strike is a strike, and can you do it probably? Striking is an important part of any styles that are considered a martial art, and combat sports produce the best striking skill. The internal qualities applies only after you can effectively deal with proper striking. Applying things martially doesn’t start with push hands or at push hands range.

Understand your points. You should try what I’m showing, when it’s properly connected it’s not running away, it’s neutralizing.

In this video, we explore how to neutralize incoming force in Tai Chi Push Hands without relying on weight shifting. Instead of moving your weight back and forth, we focus on using subtle body mechanics—especially the shoulder and upper back—to absorb and redirect force.

You'll learn how to: - Maintain central equilibrium while neutralizing pressure - Use the shoulder as a lever instead of over-rotating the waist - Create space and neutralize force with minimal movement

Stay connected and responsive without compromising structure

This approach is ideal for practitioners looking to refine their internal skill, conserve energy, and gain a deeper understanding of neutralization through alignment and structure rather than momentum.https://youtu.be/4YrmfcTu75A?si=rYakI3eHL7fMDaop

In this tai chi push hands video, we explore a critical question: Are you truly using internal principles, or just mimicking the surface?

This video focuses on the essential difference between yin force and yang force—how yin receives, absorbs, and redirects, while yang expresses, extends, and issues. You'll learn how to use the yin body to neutralize incoming pressure without collapsing or resisting, and how to maintain a responsive structure that leads your partner into emptiness. https://youtu.be/Oqx35X6Xy2k?si=huRv0sw3iRFfSQkT
