Four ounces is just a metaphorical ideal that can't be measured. Moreover, if you used 16 oz to deal with 1000 lbs, you'd see be great.
Afa testing, have two people (A + B) hold a single cotton thread. Each one takes turns trying to break the thread or pull it out of the opponent's hand.
Actually, it is not per my view.
The principle is that the one touched (if trained well) uses that minimal (sensing and other external attributes) touch to discern, act and redistribute said touch to an advantageous position and initiaite a response beased on penglujiankao (or shuai) aspect to defeat the opponent or make him think twiceon attempting to grab, hold or otherwise immobilize the other.
Adheing is not a martial sport but a main principle akin to tuishou/roushou, where you maintian that contact to use it against the opponent.
Alot of stuff I have forgotten over the decades but anyone skilled in liuhebafa-6 combinations/8 methods (the concept/training.principle as opposed the the physical art) would realize that it exists in all CMA but today rarely used and is considered 'secret' because no one is capable to teach and are ignorant of it, even myself
The caliber of that teaching is practically gone. I realize that some xinyi, bajiquan,etc have it as part of their jibengong but it is few and far between! Just sayin..
