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. If the attack is long range, like when an opponent moves right into you, unless you are very skillful, using hand-technique or body-movement alone may not be sufficient.
