splitting the direction of the force
 

Can someone explain what Sam means by "splitting the direction of the force at any point of the body".
"By utilizing spinning force all the body movements become rounded and circular. Power is generated from the ground through the feet and legs, then transmitted through the waist and shoulders, into a unified body movement. Higher levels maintain unity, while splitting the direction of the force at any point of the body."

"Splitting force comes from any point you choose and goes both ways: one direction is down to the center of the feet and the other direction is to the opponent, or point of contact. At the point of contact relax without collapsing as the opponent applies force absorb the force down to any point you choose to be the ground and split while maintaining the six physical points." (I Liq Chuan book, page 69).

I hope, this helped you.
