Song of the Sip Sam
Seh
Never neglect any of the Sip Sam Seh. The source of the
will is in the waist. Pay attention to the slightest change from full
to empty. Let energy flow through the whole body
continuously. Stillness embodies motion, motion stillness. Seek
stillness in motion. Surprising things will happen when you meet your
opponent. Give awareness and purpose to every movement. When done
correctly all will appear effortless. At all times pay attention to the
waist. Relaxed clear awareness of abdomen, the energy can be
activated. When the base of the spine is erect, energy rises to the top
of the head. The body should be flexible. Hold the head as if
suspended from a string. Keep alert and seek the meaning and purpose of
your art. Bent and stretched, open and closed, let nature take its
course. Beginners are guided by oral teaching. Gradually one applies
himself more and more. Skill will take care of itself. What is the
main principle of the martial arts? The mind is the primary actor and
the body the secondary one. What is the purpose and philosophy behind
the martial arts? Rejuvenation and prolonging of life beyond the normal
span. So and eternal spring. Every word of this song has enormous
value and importance. Failing to follow
this song attentively, you will sigh away your time
