Yang Cheng Fu advocated using mind
rather than force, and this sentiment lies at the heart of what we
practice.
Clarity, composure, inner stillness and calm enable the student to be present at all times.
The focus is upon the essence of things.
To quote the taoist maxim: "eat the fruit, not the flower."
A mind that is here and now is better capable of responding to the needs of the moment appropriately and effectively.
To complement the mind, the form taken must be natural and easy, fluid and restrained.
The aim is to go from a neutral state, to action, to neutral again; without disturbing the inner harmony.
