How does one accomplish "Enticing into emptiness" and is it different than "yielding"?
So what is the "right amount of yielding", and what is the actual difference between yielding and leading?

A typical formula used to describe this is Attach, Adhere, Join, and Follow, i.e. establish an initial point of contact bridge (attach); stick to a point of contact with at least one hand (adhere); match their initial speed and direction of movement (join); and employ soft, relaxed changes to remain united with their changing movements (follow).
When this can be effectively done consistently, it becomes easy to transform following the opponent's movement from points of contact to leading the opponent's movement into disadvantaged positions which are momentarily empty, unstable and imbalanced due to their suddenly compromised structure and center of gravity. At that time, most fighters will be unable to sufficiently recover fast enough to avoid being defeated by well trained and properly applied counter measures. 8-)
