go for us to to like seize him, right? Is I have this 45° where he can't come back on me. Right? Whereas if I were like this, he can push back into me. And here, forget about it, you know? So, there's that, but I can also use the embracing component you see in Tai Chi and Yi Chuan into what we call wrapping. And wrapping is like when he pulls me, I coil in and then I coil back out and like swing this out centrifugally.

His forearm is three fists long from the elbow to the wrist. So, there are three zones of control. When I come like this, he can elbow strike me. But when I use an embracing palm and I wrap, he can't elbow strike me cuz I'm controlling the middle of the bone. So, he can't punch or elbow strike me. This is one of the magical elements of this wrapping palm or embracing palm. You know, I can wrap it down like that.

He can't come back at me. I can, you know, wrap it this way. Right? He's spun him around and he gave me his his uh liver in this instance, right? So, these little actions of wrapping, I don't do it with my arm. You see, he can fight me. I might let our spaghetti swing out. I swing the spaghetti around with my with my guts. You know, people call it dantian. But basically, I rotate my spine left and right.

You know? Crush. I like once you wind it one way, you can unwind it the other way, which is the counter to the strength. Thank you.
