NEUTRALIZING WITH BODY-MOVEMENT

Pushing Hands

Neutralizing with Body-Movement


If an opponent's attack is too close, neutralizing with hand-technique alone may be insufficient. In this case you can sink your body backward without moving your legs, neutralizing his attack at the same time. This is neutralizing with “shen-fa”, or body movement. Neutralizing with “shou-fa”, or hand-technique, is effective when the attack is short-range, and neutralizing with “shen-fa”, or body-movement, is effective when the attack is mid range.
