Fierce Tiger Pushes Mountain

Apart from throwing, you can fell an opponent by pushing him to fall down. This can be implemented in the pattern "Fierce Tiger Pushes Mountain", and is found in Combat Sequence 16. This is a compassionate move, because if you are close enough to push him, you can also strike him, which generally causes more damage. While we are compassionate, we must also not neglect our own safety. When pushing an opponent, or applying any felling techniques on him, it is very important not to expose yourself, a mistake many people practicing a martial sport often make.
