Taiji Sparring/Fighting Principles

Move from the heart,
Move into the heart of the matter
The mind knows nothing,
The mind should be rendered searching

What cannot be glanced aside, can be turned aside,
What cannot be turned aside can be stepped aside,
What cannot be stepped aside can be slowed then,
All spaces can be filled

Whether standing, sitting or lying down, do not stop moving unless the need for movement ceases
Change can be a weapon
Stopping is a form of change
One path can lead to all places
One action has many uses

Intent follows opportunity,
Timing informs intent
Sensitivity guides timing
Opportunity wears a loud shirt

Act with truth, create reality,
