Crumple

When a student makes their framework too small and does not possess peng, their structure will collapse when pressure is applied to it.
This is a failing on two counts:
  1. Structure
    - elbows are not kept open and the 90° angle is lost
    - the kwa are closed too far
    - framework is not rounded

  2. Yielding
    - never allow the opponent to apply more than 4 ounces of pressure to your body
    - never employ more than 4 ounces of pressure
    - to accomplish this requirement, yielding is necessary
    - when a student fails to yield to force, tension occurs and it becomes a battle of strength
