Here are the translations of our Kuen Kuit:
- Tschoi Tschung Bei Chung Choy - Forward movement should be taken from avoidance (from the direct confrontation)
- Hoi Tschung Sat Loi Chum - Always find weakness (of your opponent) from an apparent solid defence (meaning that there are always weaknesses in your opponent, no matter how strong)
- Ta Mo Yee Shun Shuok - Wether it be forward jerk (attack,jump) or shift, such movement should be quick
- Pien Cheng Mok Yan Chi - Don´t delay the choice (hesitate) on wether to take the side attack or direct forward attack
These translation is from Grandmaster Tang Chung Pak himself, our family have all of the Kuen Kuit, handwritten from our ancestor GM Tang Yick, and our living legend Grandmaster Wai Yan.
