PENETRATING ATTACK AND LIFT HAND
Adjust your footwork to bridge the gap of an opponent's retreat so that you can reach him with your strike
Kungfu is alive. One important manifestation of this important principle is to adjust your footwork according to your opponent's position. Both the thrust punch in the initial attack as well as the palm strike in its counter provide good opportunities for this manifestation. Both are penetrating attacks. An excellent defence against penetrating attacks is Lift Hand. Can you see that it is not a block?
