When he's talking about 四两拨千斤, he doesn't explain it that well but the idea is not that you don't use force but you use a little bit to a large effect.

Actually, there's no problem with applying a lot of force as long as that force is on the opponent and not yourself. You want to be able to use "whole body power" on the opponent.
