I competed in the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts (BCCMA) British National Championships in 2025. I entered the mens under 90KG moving step push hands (Tuishou).
I first dabbled in Tai Chi a few years ago. However recently I took up training Tuishou (push hands), focusing on applied Tai Chi. This complements both Aikido and Sumo nicely, and the rules have a lot of similarities to Sumo. For this reason I decided to try my hand at a Tuishou competition.
Early this year I won Gold in the Sumo nationals and in this competition I managed to also get Gold in Tuishou after winning this match.
If you are interested in Applied Tai Chi please contact Paul Gitsham over at

Rules for Tuishou can be found on the BCCMA website:
