Hi, Thanks for the discussion. I like to add some. In application, if some one pull me, I give up myself, follow the pulling momentum, lean forward, extend forward and then neutralize the pull.

Hi, Hun Jin is that air is full in the whole body like that in a car tire. It can stand the strike. But it still has weak points. If the whole body can yield to knife.
