2.
The summit is far and high in Chinese martial study;
The achievement depends upon the practice of a lifetime.
Deft movement appears beyond normal shape;
Good applications are performed without specific intent.
May practitioners study and seek a profound level of Kung-fu;
Be continuously careful, making use of false and empty.
Mind one's own actions cautiously as a cat watches over a rat;
But deal with enemies fiercely as a tiger captures a sheep.
Both spirit and energy spring up from the dan tian;
The strength is better drawn through smoothly and deeply.
Do not draw too near the enemy, nor separate from him too much;
One will achieve success in the pursuit of skill after being forged over many years.
