Force is the strength of endurance of muscles like athletes can sustain weight. Responsive force is the rush of muscles, tendons, bones, and vitality. Typical examples of responsive force are:
- Muscular responsiveness: shrinking, pushing, magic art to invulnerability (by flexing one’s muscles so hard under an incantation that no knife can cut into them) when fighting against movement (of the body in physical training).
- Mental responsiveness: rebounding the joints, stretching out, and releasing them like the action of whipping, etc.
Note: During the time of practising opening responsiveness, remember to keep the teeth firmly in contact to avoid deafening and headache.
