The Song of the Eight Ways:
The Song of Ward-off
(attributed to T´an Meng-hsien)

How can we explain the energy of Ward-Off?

It is like water which supports

a moving boat.

First make the ch´i in the tan-t´ien substantial,

then hold the head as if suspended

from above.

The whole body has the power of a spring.

Opening and closing should be

clearly defined.

Even if the opponent uses a thousand pounds

of force,

we float lightly and without difficulity.

Peng, gilt oftmals als Basis für alle anderen Techniken der 13 klassischen Bewegungen. Balance in alle Richtungen - im Zentrum stehen.

Eine sich ausdehnende, aufblähende Kraft. Oft eine Abwehr, ein "Fernhalten" des Gegners.

"Peng erzeugt einen zentrierten Gegendruck, der das Gleichgewicht des Angreifers durch seinen eigenen Angriff zerstört." Silberstorff, 2003, S. 116

A force obtained by extending the body.

Peng - Ward Off

Peng Ching (Jing) is outward expanding and moving energy. It is a quality of responding to incoming energy by adhering to that energy, maintaing one's own posture, and bouncing the incoming energy back like a large inflated rubber ball. You don't really respond to force with your own muscular force to repel, block, or ward off the attack. Peng is a response of the whole body, the whole posture, unified in one's center, grounded, and capable of gathering and then giving back the opponent's energy.

Peng is aften referred to as a kind of "bouncing" energy. It is also considered the fundamental way of delivering energy and embodied in some way in each of the other Eight Gates.

Example of Form movements: Grasping the Sparrow's Tail (Ward Off)

"When moving, receiving, collecting, and striking, Peng ching is always used. It is not easy to complete consecutive movements and string them together without flexibility. Pen ching is T'ai Chi boxing's essential energy. The body becomes like a spring; when pressed it recoils immediately."
- Kuo, Lien-Ying, "The T'ai Chi Boxing Chronicle," p. 44
