When martial artists fight, cover the five elements, the three risings are not seen, the three advances are not seen, move into the center, then it is hardest to change. When fighting with others, it is important to uderstand the "Three Firsts": the eyes first, the hands are first, and the feet are first. When fighting with the brave do not think, he who thinks will find it hard to take inch steps. Every part of the body may strike, when the feet kick, the whole body is empty. When far away from the opponent, do not kick, the kick will not reach. When there is space, do not attack. First strike the opponents defences, then strike him. The whole body is able to defend. When striking, your own body should be able to adapt to circumstances, at any time. When putting the hands out, do not miss, dodging raight and left, defend both sides. When meeting an opponent, the four terminus must arrive together. If the hands raise and the feet do not;t is a waste of time. If the feet rise and the hands do not, it is a waste of time. If the opponent'sture is good, do not attack. If the opponnet is far away, do not attack. Know the rear, know the far, know when power isearly and when it is mature., know the wide, adn the narrow. The uppper and lower follow one another, if the heart stirs but the body does not move, iti is a waste of time, if the body moves, but he heart does not, it is a waste of timeStriking people is like taking a walk; look at people as if they were straw, attack like the wind, rise and fall a a drilling arrow. Wait for a moment of lapse, then attack, when the opponent's attention lags. Watch the rythym. In action, watch the timing. SEVEN KEY POINTS
STEP METHOD The footwork is the leader. The steps must not be forced. Movements must spring from an emptyheart, as if dancing without conscious effort, the body desires to move and teh steps turn to all sides. The hands are about to move, the steps also urge them in motion. Come and go with a scissors step, the legs move in a scissor motion. Move the steps by inches. Using the feet to strike, the intent to stomp never misses. This feeling relies on the snapping of the rear foot. Keep feeling in the rear foot, and advance attacking with a stomping strike that shows no mercy. |
