therefore lands on you and pushes you out. Therefore, you appear to be losing,
but before being pushed out, you will use your legs, waist, and joints to avoid
being hit by incoming attacks. As you repeatedly try to yield and avoid
attacks, (1) your legs and waist become stronger, (2) your joints become more

to the movements of your opponent (you are able to “listen” better). These are
