Imo there should never be a clash of force. This is a smart ta tactic. When there is a greater force do over come it, but instead borrow the force a d bkend with it.

While this is a good point..............my take on this is more of a mental aspect then something akin to physical force.

To me this would indicate the need to be focused and aggressive when you engage an opponent, again kind of like a force of will more than physicality.

ok. thx. Fierce to me does not mean clashing of force against force- but has more to do
with being non tentative.

I know you!
lol

Well the proper context was that my training partner always retorts with "who absorbs what is useless?" when he hears Bruce's/JKD's "absorb what is useful"

Yes,I would agree with you,but the word he uses" clashes" is a physical not mental but more physical.It also contradicts at least a few other of the key objectives.
