On this episode of the Amoraea Podcast, Matt sits down with Dawei, founder of FuKrew, to talk about Push Hands (Tui Shou) — an ancient partner practice rooted in Tai Chi that blends martial sensitivity training with modern energetic and quantum healing concepts.
Dawei breaks down what Push Hands actually looks like in practice, why softness and balance beat brute force, and how the practice retrains the nervous system to respond to pressure — physical, mental, or emotional — instead of tensing up and reacting on autopilot. He and Matt dig into:
What Push Hands is and the different styles/approaches within it
How posture, alignment, and body awareness shape everything from how we walk to how we handle stress
Why Push Hands can surface emotional releases, not just physical ones
The role of consensual touch and safe, vetted community spaces — especially for women
How this kind of embodied practice connects to compatibility and attraction beyond a checklist of "wants"
Dawei's new layer on top of traditional Push Hands: group energetic/quantum healing concepts
How FuKrew is building an accessible, drop-in style community across Austin
Whether you're curious about somatic practices, nervous system regulation, martial arts, or just want a new way to connect with people in real life, this conversation offers a grounded (and pretty fun) entry point.
