Peace

Principle: Spiral Power: The Drill 2

To avoid falling into the trap Chen sets for its opponents, it seeks contact, then impact. Contact is of a specific type with a protruding knuckle—think of it as a bit in a drill gun and, the punch, the drill bit's torque supplied by the spiral of the body. The contact ensures the target is in place and ready to be impacted. "If you are going to cut meat, you have to make sure it's there."

To conquer the use of recoil in other martial arts forms, Chen devised a way to stop its benefit; their punch destroyed Peng on contact and before impact. The metaphor was popping a balloon. Once accomplished, a "steal step" closes the distance, and a rebound could occur.
