    This is an old video of me and a mate pushing. :) We would go like this for hours. We both have our eyes closed in this vid.

    I hope nowadays you use sleep masks so you can keep your eyes open. There's a reason for that method.

    Sleep masks-available at most major pharmacies and S&M establishments.

    This is my observation but first my caveat:

    I can not see what is being done too well due to light issues nor am I there so I can only give an opinion based on the video in its present state.

    With that said, I am unsure if this is more of a relaxed, friendly exchange than serious committed Tuishou. To me I see alot of force being used in order to move each other instead of more yielding, I do not see much rooting or sinking but maybe it is you guys or just the lighting is unclear.

    In some cases I see some good principles in which your opponent is off balance this goes for both long and shaved hair.

    If I had to guess on the level of experience of both I guess maybe 1-3years.
