Borrrowing Energy

Wing Chun does not practice board-breaking expenditures of energy. Rather, the opponent's force or energy is used against himself. The opponent's energy is used to motivate action by the Wing Chun practitioner. The concept is also seen in practice in Tai Chi.

Often the attacker will be 'sucked in' after over committing himself to an action. He will experience the application of Newton's First Law: For every action there is an equal & opposite reaction. And also experience the application of "The bigger they are, the harder they fall".
