An example of the use of pulling force comes from the Bil Jee form (previously mentioned). Another method of clearing a guard is to pull at the opponent’s defensive hand, not to disrupt his balance, but to alter the angle of the defensive hand so that the way is cleared for a punch. For example, against your straight punch, the opponent defends with a bong sao. You grasp the opponent’s hand with your free hand, and pull so that the bong sao straightens out and your punch sails right over the top of the bong sao.

These skills must be added to the foundation that has already been constructed.
