Stop fighting the pressure. Learn to feel it.
“Ting Yiu” - straightening the lower back and tucking the tailbone - helps connect the spine through the ankles and into the ground.
That connection gives us “rootedness”: the ability to become momentarily solid against pressure without pushing back against it.
This is where sensitivity starts.
If you’re still using your muscles to fight against someone’s pressure, you can’t truly feel where that pressure is going.
Relax. Connect to the ground. Stop opposing the force.
Then you can begin to feel it, follow it, and eventually use their energy against them.
Don’t fight the pressure. Understand it.
