In addition to Gene Hess’s great notes “Lines on the Body”
We can produce 9 lines in different dimensions on the body. We put these lines on our opponents body in different dimensions, you do not have to be touching the opponents body to create a line.
The more lines we can produce on our opponents body the more uncomfortable we make them feel and they eventually bounce themselves out.
Power on the opponent must be indirect. Any local power must be used only for adherence (zhuo, 着法). Indirect power is a key concept in the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system.
