The movements of Eight Punching on the Middle Piles are continuous and forceful. While defending, they are like alert dogs fending off intruders. While attacking, they’re like hungry tigers darting down the mountains. The movements are marked by floating and sinking, swallowing and spiting, dodging and snapping, and power by completeness of pressing, chopping, hardness and softness. The elastic and stable footwork make each movement of legs as light as startling swan goose, as stable as a mountain.
