The gerund adhering has the connotation of to stick, to join, to follow, and to believe. This is used in the same ways as boxing, wrestling, and grappling. Adhering is a unique development in Chinese Martial Arts in making use of the elastic components of the body to control the opponent which is expressed as the stick and follow techniques in Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, Baguaquan, and Yongchunquan (Wing Chun Kung). The strategy of fight to control provided a safe environment for practitioners to determine who is better. From observation, most practitioners of the mentioned martial arts do not focus on the techniques in entering to adhering, as most of them learned pushing hand or sticking hand from a contacted position. The rules are simple, win by any controlled strike, take down, or submission; no score for trade off, no time limit in a restricted area, and disqualification for avoidance or uncontrolled techniques.

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.
Again, the opponent that you are going to deal with may not be another Taiji person. You may have to use your Taiji skill to deal with a boxer, or a wrestler.
