In quan theory, it is said, "Meet hardness with softness" and "Clever hands reverse the critical juncture."
As long as the body posture is centred, the focus is sharp, the movement agile, and the energy flows seamlessly, you can respond to incoming force with ease. The upper body should be light like a willow, and the lower body firmly rooted like a tree. The entire body is wrapped by Taiji jin. Lead with the left and strike with the right, or lead with the right and strike with the left. Alternating and combining firmness and flexibility, between emptiness and solidity, you can lead and strike interchangeably. The saying "using four ounces to lift a thousand pounds" means you are not affected by pressure. The greater the pressure, the more it is an opportunity to seize an advantage.
In quan theory, it is said, "Retreat is also an advance; advance is also a retreat." This principle is about the victory of the Yin over the Yang and vice versa. It is the integration of firmness and softness and the advanced technique of transitioning between emptiness and solidity. The concept of Taijiquan combat principles and strategies is to correctly observe and adapt to the opponent’s movements.
