Hi,

does anyone know the difference between strum the lute and high pat on the horse in sun style taiji quan?

Is there any difference in application?

Best regards,

Michael

Strum the Lute is an elbow leverage and uproot technique.

High Pat on Horse is a downward cover with simultaneous downward strike.

Hi Tim,

"High Pat on Horse is a downward cover with simultaneous downward strike."

could you please give an example?

You punch me in the stomach with your right fist, I move my hips back and cover downward with my left hand and simultaneously strike you in the face with my right palm.

If you have ever seen Xingyiquan's Pi Quan, the technique is similar.

Hi,

thank you very much! I dont recongnized "High Pat on Horse" as the same principle as in Pi Quan. Now i understand it better.
