Tai Chi practitioners can theoretically move a thousand pounds using only four ounces of energy.

Well, the crazy thing about Tai Chi, I'll give you a little information about it that you may or may not know, but the idea with Tai Chi is that if you master it or you have that control over it, you should be able to move 1,000 pounds with just four ounces of energy. So, the idea of them pushing constantly means if something ever came to them, They push that aside without even thinking about it. Because just four ounces of energy can divert. It's almost like tripping a giant.

Using four ounces of energy to divert a charging opponent is ineffective in real combat against skilled fighters.

I think it's great on paper. An actual giant. I don't care how much Tai Chi you know. A dude is like a 300 pound All American wrestler. He comes charging at you. You ain't going to use four ounces of energy and divert him. Well, I'm going to argue that. The four ounces you use is just step to the side. Yeah, everybody here says that step to the side. It ain't easy to do it. It doesn't work. They grab you. Right. You're not getting up.
