    Author’s Preface

    When martial artists train their bodies, although there are not that many techniques, the principles behind them are inexhaustible. Those who train martial arts must refine their essence to transform their energy/power, in order for this energy to transform their spirit. They view mastery as the ability to use this internal energy and hold as a goal its constant flow without impediment, so seek out techniques that enable their acquired qi to supplement their original qi.
