N2 - Let me begin here by returning to my suggestion in the Introduction that pushing-hands-like taijiquan -is not just a training exercise, but a performance. Certainly the YouTube videos to which Martha Cheung directs our attention in her article (2012a: 161; this volume, p. 25) are performative, in the obvious sense that they are fi lmed in order to be viewed by us, their audience; the many other YouTube videos featuring pushing-hands competitions, like “Pushing hands Taiwan Tai Chi World Championship tui shou” (www.youtube. com/watch?v=PWZJEehHK-c), make this performative aspect unavoidable. Martha too, in presenting her pushing-hands model to academic audiences, not only always showed those YouTube videos; the second time I saw her give the talk, at the Nida School for Translation Studies in Misano, in May 2012, she asked for a volunteer from the audience to push hands with her up front.
