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!

Training connect , receive , release The following footage shows me working with Alex to develop a skill. Alex pushes into my arms with the strength to attempt to move me. I receive the strength into my foot letting Alex compress my Qi. And I allow my hips to fall away from my head, stretching my spine.. I then press the rear foot, lightly triggering the release of Chi in harmony with the unstretching of my spine. Thanks for watching!

Using asking Jin and emptiness to make my opponent fall into my connection.

Using asking Jin and emptiness to make my opponent fall into my connection. When you touch a person, they usually either push back, runaway , or stay still. When they do this, it's usually on a very unconscious level. They don't typically notice that they are doing it. The movement is so small that they usually cannot detect it but their subconscious mind will typically go back to center after moving out of center to achieve balance , When my partner does this , I yield, causing him to fall into my touch and into my root where I can then issue force on him.
