OK, now that was not hard, was it. Yes, I fully understand what you are saying now. I do not use Chinese terminology however, and this I call, Rolling with the punch, or going with the flow. I have to say however, this is not something that can be done 100% of the time, in most cases it is just going to minumize the impact of a punch should it come full force.
When I was quite young, my older brothers taught me this aspact of WC. We did drills over and over and at least during the drills we were able to pull this off most of the time, especially if it was not a direct punch at close range. However, like I said, there would be times when it only minumized the impact somewhat, and other times it made it as if no contact was ever made. It does have an effect on your opponent when this works. It also helps to be able to anticipate what the guy is about to do.
I suppose that there are people that are really good at this, but it would take you a very long time to achieve and then it would again not be something you could do 100% of the time. It is much easier to do with push and shove then punch and kick.
