The guiding principle of this
art is the belief that the received impact of a strike or a force is far
greater when the body is working as a harmonius unit.There are two elements
to this art- internal and external both of which have three harmonies of
combinations.
External Harmonies- 'San wai
he'
Coordination between hips and shoulders, knees and elbows and feet and
hands.If the maximum amount of power is to be delivered by the strike, all
parts of the body and mind must act in complete harmony with each other.
Internal Harmonies- 'San nei
he'
How the spirit harmonizes with intention, how intention harmonizes with
physical energy, and how physical energy harmonizes with strength.These six
harmonies must work together in order to deliver the most effective strikes. |
