(Thirteen Influences)
Never neglect any of the Sip Sam Seh.
The source of the will is in the waist.
Pay attention to the slightest change from
full to empty.
Let energy flow through the whole body continuously.
Stillness embodies motion, motion stillness.
Seek stillness in motion.
Surprising things will happen when you meet
your opponent.
Give awareness and purpose to every movement.
When done correctly all will appear effortless.
At all times pay attention to the waist.
Relaxed clear awareness of abdomen, the energy
can be
activated.
When the base of the spine is erect, energy
rises to the top of
the head.
The body should be flexible.
Hold the head as if suspended from a string.
Keep alert and seek the meaning and purpose
of your art.
Bent and stretched, open and closed, let nature
take its course.
Beginners are guided by oral teaching.
Gradually one applies himself more and more.
Skill will take care of itself.
What is the main principle of the martial

What is the purpose and philosophy behind
the martial arts?
Rejuvenation and prolonging of life beyond
the normal span.
So and eternal spring.
