P’eng is one of the main techniques in t’ai chi and it’s uses are
many. I will cover many of the p’eng techniques in the advanced
section. It’s usual use is that of defense but a more unknown use is
that of attack. For p’eng see PHOTO No. 12. If we take up from the
last block to the right, we are able to very quickly grab the left wrist
with the right palm, quickly step up with your left foot and attack the
‘mind point’ (in acupuncture, the jaw) with back fist. Photo No. 13.
DOUBLE P’ENG
If your attacker now attacks with right low upper punch to your left
rib area, you quickly step back and swivel to your left with the
weight on your right foot as you block using the same low block as
in photo 11.
