That's what I said. If it was based on kinetic repulsion, Cardin would have retreated a few steps back because of his own strength. Instead, he only stood there with his hand hurt and the animation even shows his hand becoming bigger and smaller like in the cartoons when a person's hand really hurts.

I think Jaune's semblance is some sort of super force field or the ability to become solid as metal like if his entire body was a sword.
