Drawing your opponent in at the contact point

Drawing your opponent in at the contact point When you touch your opponent and press on them, they will , on an unconscious level , respond to that force. The two most common responses are to run from the force, or to push back . When they push back in an effort to fight with you , you can do a very small rollback at the point of contact, breaking their structure and making their weight fall into their hands . People tend to reach out when they lose their balance, and when they reach out into your posture, this makes for a good solid connection with which to issue force on them. If you look carefully, you will notice that my hands circle back slightly before issuing forward to create this environment. Thanks for watching!
