If the opponent is fierce, we have to go to rotate, avoid the sharpness of the other side of the introduction, and make its power to disperse, fall

empty, passive, and then focus on the advantages of the other side of the attack, and its strength is as swift as the release of arrows. Push hands to master this "first after the hair", "soft to conquer" skills, known as "know the power".
