I really enjoy your content. You help my wingchun progress across the world here in NZ. Lo Man Kam lineage.Thank you for the great explaination 👌 I have been struggling with this concept in my training.

If he pushes you with his both hands on your shoulders, how this technique helps?

[@Dr.Chisao]

But the question Ive been asking myself is how to get the direction of the shift to autoselect based on my opponents pressure and not my own anticipation based on my own sense of loss of balance.

[@freddap5518]

The pressure of your partner will tell you which side you have to shift. but you have to listen what your partner hands ( energy / vector force) say. for that you need to be relax. hope my comment helps you to be more clear ;)

[@Dr.Chisao]

@freddap5518 I agree with you but so often relaxation a skill unto itself. By that I mean once you "figure out" how to do it then its "so easy". Everyone is trying to relax yet some ppl pick up the skill and others struggle. Personally I always looking for the line between mere mechanical technique "dance moves " where it works because you can anticipate your opponents in a drill setting vs reflexive fighting skills.

@calmwaves5852 I dont think its much different conceptually than with the hand. Chances are its not a perfectly even push so shift to the side that makes sense. If it feels even then you can sink or uproot him. If its perfectly center in all directions (rarely the case) take one step back and reassess.
