Coordinating the two sides of the body

When my opponent stikes I empty his or her force with sticking and neutralising on the appropriate side. In some postures the force can be taken into the body and returned through the opposite side. To achieve this the waist must be the commander and the feet rooted. As the body turns, the back is relaxed and open and the orbit of the turn contains the force and feeds it through the other arm.

The muscles at the top of the back need to be loose and the shape of the body through the arms will contain the forces if you find the circle.
