Stationary leading rollback

[windwalker099]

Peter Ralston, a noted figure in the development of full-contact fighting, presents a concept he calls "stationary leading rollback."
What he outlines aligns with the principles described in

" **Understanding the State of "Shang Shou"** by Tang Fengchi.

**Real and Virtual Contact Points**
Real contact points refer to physical touch where the practitioner's internal energy connects with the opponent's energy. However, the two forces remain distinct, like the saying, "well water does not mix with river water." Virtual contact points, on the other hand, may or may not involve physical touch. Instead, the connection is established through intent and awareness, allowing the practitioner to control the opponent’s center of energy (zhong). "

***
Shang Shou (上手) translates literally to "upper hand" or "superior hand."
emphasizes the importance of sensitivity, timing, and positioning. It represents the practitioner’s
ability to sense and respond to changes in the opponent’s energy (jin) with precision.

 

[Same Trick]

ive seen this guy mentioned occasionally but have no idea who or what he does and where he come from. So I just now looked up, found a bio on him.
WW do you know him ? It seem he’s also a San Franciscan.
The Bio I read it seems he studied about everything and it seems a little too much in a sense that he actually studied too little something as Jack of all trades, the bio mentions he studied with Wong Jackman which sounds legit, but he only stayed two or three years with him at age 19-20 yet claim to have mastered all….because he’s kind of a martial arts genius(yes the bio hint at this)??
