13 式 Threading-arm (穿臂) followed by Wiping-arm (抹臂) and Push

13 式 Threading-arm (穿臂) followed by Wiping-arm (抹臂) and Push 

Threading-arm (穿臂) followed by Wiping-arm (抹臂) is a very logical sequence in Taijiquan application.

Sequence

1. Threading-arm (穿臂)

  • Enter through the opponent's guard.
  • Occupy the Centerline (中線).
  • Establish Contact (接觸) and Bridge (搭橋).
  • Shorten the distance.

Purpose: Enter (入門) and gain a superior position.


2. Wiping-arm (抹臂)

  • After entering, if the opponent's other arm blocks or resists, slide or wipe () along the arm.
  • Redirect (引化) or clear (清除) the obstruction.
  • Control the opponent's arm without using brute force.

Purpose: Clear (清除) the defense while maintaining Adherence (黏).


3. Press (按)

  • Once the path is open, issue Press (按勁).
  • The power comes from Whole-body Power (整體勁):
    • Ground Force (蹬地)
    • Kua (胯)
    • Dantian (丹田)
    • Spine (脊柱)
    • Hands merely transmit the force.

Why use 穿臂 → 抹臂?

Because Threading (穿) gains the inside position, while Wiping (抹) removes the remaining obstacle.

It follows the tactical principle:

Enter (穿) → Clear (抹) → Issue Force (按)
入門 → 清除 → 發勁


Can the order be reversed?

Yes.

Sometimes the opponent's arm blocks your entry. In that case, you may:

Wipe (抹) → Thread (穿) → Press (按)

or even

Thread (穿) → Press (按)

if the centerline is already open.


Taiji Principle (太極原理)

There is no fixed sequence (無定法).

The order depends on:

  • The opponent's force (來勁)
  • The opening (空隙)
  • The centerline (中線)
  • The timing (時機)

This reflects the Taiji principle of "changing according to the opponent" (因敵變化) rather than following a predetermined pattern.
