Brush Knee appears in the 1st road of the Yang Tai Chi Long Form. It is repeated 5x in this road, and 4 more times in the remainder of the form. Clearly, a significant fighting technique to the author of the form.
In road one, Brush Knee is interspersed with Strum Pipa . Brush Knee - Strum Pipa - Brush Knee (3x) - Strum Pipa - Brush Knee. Why do you think this is? (easter egg)
See the Unseen - In 1911 this style was converted to a health practice from a fighting art as part of the reformation period in China. A tool to help strengthen the populace using their now defunct martial arts (due to firearms and changes in warfare).
As such, having people balancing on one leg without a partner to grab is challenging. Therefore what is represented in the form is an 'abbreviation' of Brush Knee's true fighting intent shown here.
