To illuminate great principles, martial studies are a great aid.
The pooling of knowledge will show us the way.
Carrying them forward and spreading them everywhere,
boxing arts are daily on the rise, their prestige reaching far and wide.
They strengthen our bodies and help us resist aggression, enriching our national glory.
ere is my rallying cry. !y hopes for these arts are boundless.

three secretsG
1; e+er use eertion; 8ai9i=s principle o not using eertion has alrea*y been eplaine*, but here
e ill specially restate it; 8he irst secret to peror(ing the 8ai9i set is to go ro( start to inish

?hether a posture ith an en*ing place, a transition ithout an en*ing place, or a situation o
