THE 13 PRINCIPLES OF THE YEUNG FAMILY STYLE.

1. Set the shoulders down and lower the elbows.
2. Hollow the chest and raise the back.
3. Keep the energy leisurely down to the navel psychic-centre (the
capacity 3² below the navel) by hollowing the chest and loosening the waist.
The navel psychic-centre is the place where the energy is cultivated and
reserved. After a long time of practice, the potential energy forms a
forceful impetus which, when required, can be sent out to attack and to
defend.
4. Keep the head upright and the body well-balanced.
5. Loosen the waist.
6. Shift the centre of gravity as required.
7. Every part of the body is well co-ordinated.
8. Do not exert force, but the idea is there.
9. Action and idea should be in harmony.
10. The idea and energy should be in agreement.
11. Action is included in activity.
12. Action and activity should be well coupled.
13. All movements should be performed in rhythm and follow one another
evenly without any jerky motion, as silk is drawn from cocoons.
