The "water" strategy is if your opponent uses force to spin your body, you borrow that force and spin your body even faster.
In the following clip, from 0.01 - 0.07, you can see if you hit and spin one of the dummy's srm, the dummy's other arm can hit you. That's "water" strategy.
An important part of the art is the footwork which is very structured and makes the other techniques feasable. The basic philosophy is expressed in four words:
Chon – To destroy the enemy completely so that he can’t renew his attack
Sim – To evade, not meeting force directly but not to go too far into yielding
Chun – To penetrate by aiming at the space in between where the opponent has come out and not yet returned
Jeet – To intercept, checking the opponent’s force before it is released
