Whats the martial application of the commencing form?
The martial application of the commencing form: (1) “First attack loses.” Do not telegraph your movement nor show your Yin Yang until your opponent moves. The basic principle is that your Yin Yang changes should adapt to your opponent’s. Let your opponent move first and then decide which hand block and which hand attack. (2) “Borrow from your opponent.” You place your hands on your opponent’s shoulders. You can throw him or you can simply balance yourself by using his standing.
