http://www.shenwu.com/phsphy.htm Sedikit nukilan: Which techniques will be effective against larger and stronger opponents? Common sense tells us that techniques based on brute strength will never allow the weaker to defeat the stronger (the stronger opponent by definition possesses more brute strength than the weaker, so a technique based on brute force is doomed to fail the weaker fighter because in a contest of force against force, the stronger force invariably prevails). Once techniques of brute force (that is, techniques which require the use of force against force) have been disqualified as fitting our definition of martial art, upon what shall we base our techniques? The logical answer is to base martial techniques upon principles which allow us to use our strengths against an opponent's weaknesses, thereby circumventing superior force and applying our own force where it will have the greatest effect. Another way of describing the techniques of martial art is to say such techniques are based upon maximum efficiency in obtaining the desired result. What is efficient technique? In a violent encounter there is a real possibility for injury, and the longer the fight lasts the greater the chances of you being hurt. Therefore, efficient technique should allow one to end the encounter as quickly as possible. This means that an efficient technique should either disable an opponent or afford one an opportunity to escape in the shortest possible span of time. Jadi intinya "menggunakan kekuatan kita untuk mengalahkan kelemahan lawan." Jadi lembut bisa mengalahkan yang keras dengan cara menyerang "kosong"-nya keras, keras bisa mengalahkan lembut dengan "menekan" lembut. Yang menjadi masalah bukan lembut/keras, tapi siapa yang lebih lihai melihat di mana kekuatan diri dan di mana kelemahan lawan dan bisa memadukan keduanya untuk mencapai kemenangan.
