This class discussed about the separation of energy movement and physical movement. To understand the idea, we must lock the entire body so that there is no visual movement of our body. We used the wall pushing exercise to learn to connect the two ends (front hand and rear foot). Once we had found the connection by lowering the shoulder and compressing the dantian, we must maintain the pressure in the body and the integrity of the structure. We then added one more action using a body part that was not used to hold the current posture to push into the wall. This additional action was the "add one". Since the wall was solid, the force was bounced back to the body. We needed to add an aim towards our own dantian, which was the centre of the body. This allowed us to bounce ourselves off the wall. The key was to hold the structure throughout the entire process until the bounce was complete. If we let go prematurely, there would be no bounce. If we don't aim properly to the dantain, there would be no bounce. To bounce an opponent, the procedure would be the same. The person who would be able to hold his structure and position would act as the wall to bounce the other person. The locking of your own structure required a "bie". In order to bounce the opponent, a bie must also be created on the opponent as well as yourself. The wall pushing exercise was not about training to create a bie on the opponent, but rather training the locking of yourself and the aim on the issuing.
