I, personally, don't agree with this view. If both hands or legs are the same, it means that they are doubleweighted and that you can not distinguish full and empty. This is a sound advice in the taiji classics - you should know where your weight is, which part of the body is full and which is empty. Yin and yang are always togetrher, but in fact they are never equal, there is always one which is more than the other. If they were equal the advice in the taiji classics would be: "ALWAYS be doubleweighted".

Do you agree with these statements?:
* The attacking hand is weak, the defending hand is strong.
* The weighted foot is weak, the empty leg is strong.
* The attacker follow, the defender lead.

If you agree or not, what do that have to do with my practice or level of it? That was my only question. The rest are statements, not questions. I am very certain about my view regarding these things and why. anyway, thanks for your concern...

Didn't mean to come off all condescending or anything like that.
