To further clarify:
Although your body moves, your mind should be still, energy must gather, and spirit should be at ease. Your mind makes the command and the energy is its signal flag. Your spirit is the general and your body is the army.
If you pay attention at every moment, there is always an advantage to be had.
First in your mind, then in your body. Once in your body, you will not be aware of the movements of your hands and feet.
It is said: “In an uninterrupted flow from beginning to end, let go of your plans and just respond to the opponent, draw him in to land on nothing, and with four ounces of force move his of a thousand pounds.”
You must keep in mind: if one part moves, every part moves, and if one part is still, every part is still. Regard movement as stillness and stillness as movement.
Inwardly bolster spirit. Outwardly show ease.
You must act according to your opponent, not try to do things from yourself, for if you go along with your opponent, you can act spontaneously, but if you act from yourself, you will get bogged down.
If you obsess over the energy, there will be no power, whereas if you ignore the energy and thereby nurture it, there will be pure strength.
If he takes no action, I take no action, but once he takes even the slightest action, I have already acted.
For you to follow him, you have to know yourself, and then you can adapt and connect to him. For you to stick to him, you have to know him, and then you will be neither too late nor too early.
If you can raise your spirit, then you will not have to worry about double pressure. If in sticking to the opponent you can follow him alertly, then you will find the ability to unbalance him.
In the back and forth [of the arms], there must be distinguishing between passive and active. In the advance and retreat [of the feet], there must be both variation and coherence.
If an opportunity comes from yourself, go ahead and shoot, but when force comes from your opponent, borrow it.
When you issue power, there must be coordination between above and below, and then directed at an undefended area. Your posture must be straight and not leaning in any direction, so as to be able to brace in all directions.
In stillness, be like a mountain. In movement, be like a river.
Step as if near a cliff edge. Move energy as if drawing silk.
Store power like drawing a bow. Issue power like loosing an arrow.
Move energy as though through a winding-path pearl, penetrating even the smallest nook. Wield power like tempered steel, so strong there is nothing tough enough to stand up against it.
The shape is like a falcon capturing a rabbit. The spirit is like a cat pouncing on a mouse.
Within curving, seek to be straightening. Store and then issue. To gather is to release, for there is no discontinuity between the two moments.
If you can be extremely soft, then you can be extremely hard. If you can stick and follow, then you can be nimble.
By nurturing energy with integrity, it will not be corrupted. By storing power in crooked parts, it will be in abundant supply.
Gradually you will reach a point in which everything you do is a response [rather than an initiation of attempt], and thus you will achieve the condition of dispensing with greed and thereby getting what you want.
