Various combinations of techniques (movements) usually makes to trainees serious troubles. It’s because they don’t understand the rules of polarity. The question of technical operations and combinations is a question of tactics and therefore of pure psychology.
By combinations the individual techniques (movements) must not be separated. There must be no gaps and pauses between the various techniques in their combination. The beginnings and ends of individual movements must be joined together and merged to form one movement.
Mastering combinations are for example perfect basis for a sports competitions. Who can do this must very easy win each competitions, as most of the competitors do not control the combination. They want to fight, but they are not interested in controlling the weapons (techniques) they struggle with. Above all, the combination exercises are extremely interesting. It develops the intelligence and abilitis that most civilized people have been deprived of.
The picture shows four combinations. All these four variants are closely related.
- Yin + Yin = Yang: Two negative motions create positive movement. It is a very good combination. Combining two negative moves is the basis of all successful combinations. Negative movements combine perfectly. Joining comes from below.
- Yin + Yang: One negative and one positive motion can be well combined. This combination of negative (yin) and positive (yang) motion (tension) produces maximum power and performance.
- Yang + Yin : One positive and one negative motion can be well combined. The combination of positive (yang) and negative (yin) motion (tension) is the principle of gaining power. Positive performance (yin) and negative effect (yin) is the principle of all the bad techniques we can see everywhere by most practitioners.
- Yang + Yang = Yin: Two positive motions can be combined very badly. This is the most common case we encounter with practitioners. It is not real combination of movements, but two separate movements (yang and yang) with their negativ effect (yin). This is the most common case we encounter with practitioners. It is not a combination of movements, but separate movements. In this way, the movements divide and gain tension. The distribution comes from above.
