Say Noi Biu Ging: The Four Internally-Sup-ported Expulsive Forces T un, literally meaning to swallow, redirects anopponents

incoming force into the ground. Inessence, the practitioner grounds the energy of an attack with this action. T ou, or to spit, corresponds to an outwardrelease of force away from the body. Typically,tun complements tou as a kinetic pair. Fou, to oat, is an uprooting force that disruptsand displaces the opponents foundation. Thisenables the practitioner to take advantage of the adversarys vulnerable state.On the other hand, Chum, a sinking action,bears weight onto the opponent in a suppress-ing manner. Again, this provides the practitio-ner the opportunity to capitalize on the adver-sarys submissive state.The Principles of Tan,Tou,Fau,Cham arefound in virtually all Southern Chinese martialarts and their combative interpretation canrange from isolated to integrated actions. Somestyles translate this formula as an expression of the extremities, such as hand techniques, swal-lowing, releasing, raising, or pressuring thelimbs of an opponents attacks. (Say Ging) 4 Energies
