This is the problem. Sometimes the competitors are not well matched either. The basic idea behind peng jing is energy flow, no stagnation. If energy is broken there is no peng jing. If there's too much energy, also no peng jing.
Many people have the wrong idea about peng jing.
The mind must be clear and peaceful. Peng jing cannot be forced. Allow energy to flow naturally is the only way. It is like a car on a lift. The car's engine can still run and the wheels will turn.
