PUSH BACK

WISDOM FROM THE ANCIENTS…

From Cheg Tzu's 13 Treatises on T'ai Chi Ch'uan

#12:
"Use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds."

 "It means you can use 4 ounces to offset 1000 pounds, after which you apply Push.  So leading and pushing are two different things." - Chang Man Ch'ing

Okay, so what does this mean for us?

Simple.

When someone comes at you with their nastiness or anger you can off-set it with a gentle movement - a word or an action… and then…
PUSH BACK!


What Do ya say?
Interesting concept, right?
