All martial arts strive for a focus, unattached mind in action. One Chinese archery classic instructs- If your shot hits the target don't be happy, otherwise your mind changes and your skill drops. If your shot misses the target and you worry, the mind loses focus. – Quoted from the archery section of the "Guided Tour Through The Forrest Of Facts," a Song dynasty encyclopedia that was added to during the Ming dynasty. ( trans. Scott M. Rodell). Dashou Ge* Let him use a huge force to strike me. trans.- Scott M. Rodell Test Cutting Practice for DC Area Students - Just as one can not say he or she understands archery by just drawing a bow, but never loosing an arrow at the target, a real understanding of swordsmanship requires an intimate knowledge of cutting with the jian.

Quoted from the Shisan Shi Xinggong Xin Jue Commentary – * Translation & commentary from Scott M. Rodell's forthcoming book on the Classics. Photo 1992, Center Director, Scott M.
