  • When using ‘contraction’ against bodily manipulation (grapplers), we should use it on the ‘exhalation.’ The reason is that ‘sinking’ is best accomplished during this breath cycle (as explained in the example of the pool.) Many Kung Fu schools such as Shaolin, and Hung Gar schools which broke off from Shaolin, use the Iron Wire method of practicing ‘muscle contractions’ for this very reason. The ‘Iron Wire’ skills used to be protected knowledge amongst underground Chinese Societies. The art-form also spread to Japan and can be found in many advanced levels of various Karate schools; and is best shown in the movie, ‘Street Fighter,’ featuring ‘Sonny Chiba.’
