One for Essence

不怕千招會，就怕一招精

Do not fear the thousand moves skilful, fear the perfect one 

Old practices are about changes, not multiplicity.

Old styles all have one basic posture.

Principles are the core, moves just general knowledge.

Old trainings use to make the difference between forms made of multiple moves for training and one or two moves just for fighting.

Moving with a drawn sword is training, learning how to unsheathe it fighting.

A vast array of angles to quarter the body in all possible directions, just one set of angles to fight in the most efficient way.

One move to include one's best features, multiples moves to improve one's shortcomings.

One motion for all fightings, various motions for the unforeseen.

A technique can transform into eight ones, eight times eight sixty four, endless changes.
