In a sense, the way force offer resistance (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

show fight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offer resistance' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'in a sense the way force' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a sense' becomes 'sight' (sight or vision is a sense).
'the way' becomes 'how' (how something is done).
'force' becomes 'f' (symbol used in Physics e.g. f=ma).
'how'+'f'='howf'
'sight' placed around 'howf' is 'SHOW FIGHT'.
