In another situation, the opponent might pull our front hand down a little bit. In this case we can use Jeun Máh to follow their energy and then Díng Jāang 頂踭 – Strike Against Elbow , to strike their chest. The power from the Jeun Máh added the power from their pulling, will make our Díng Jāang very strong, and it can easily knock them back.
If they are so strong that you cannot use Tāan Sáu or Díng Jāang, then you can still step with Jeun Máh and use your shoulder to strike them instead. This is also very powerful.
Finally, if they are so strong, step forwards with Jeun Máh and then strike them with your other hand!
