This is why I try not to let any "style" to set restriction on me.
For example, Taiji principle - to use 4 oz to deal with 1000 lb. If I have 1000 lb,
why not just use it?
Why not?
The problem comes in when someone mentions this and can not do it....
If one can really do it,
it's very clear why one would not want to use their "mass" in dealing with others.
What ever one practices, if practiced enough it will be what they do with out thought.
At that point what they do no longer a method, functional or not its them...
