That is... uncanny.
Sticking means to lift up high.
Adhering means to stay and be attached.
Connecting means to let go of yourself and not separate from the opponent.
Following means to follow him wherever he goes.
If you want to move with awareness and yet you do not understand sticking, adhering, connecting, and following, it will be beyond your reach, for it is a very subtle skill.

In CIMA, think of directing "peng fullness" slowly and steadily through the partner's structure while at the same time adding a bit of spiralling motion (via the "shape" of his hands) to twist the partner's radius and ulna while he continues to "feed" in and down to the center of mass.

People just have to realize that it has nothing to do with combat or martial application; rather, the body method used to create the effect can be applied to combat/martial situations with the proper training and working it under duress.

I think I like your attitude. You really know what your talking about.
This is just a basic tai chi opening move.
There is a big difference between good and real good.
Can you point out to me what is wrong with the structure?
And not just that, But what is wrong with the entire scenario?
Or How about Charles, Graham, Bao, or anyone else. feel free...jump right in.
Time to earn the paycheck.
