The centre must be 'empty' - meaning that no one can locate it.
To make the centre empty, you must move it in accordance with the incoming force.
Any form of bodily tension or bracing will ruin this.
At the same time the centre must be strong enough to allow the body to sink and have substance.
Emptiness and substance must balance in order to represent yin and yang.
How is this accomplished?
When you evade/yield, you empty the centre.
When you strike, you firm the centre at the moment of impact - adding power to the attack.
