Techniques employ four qualities that reflect the nature of our world. Depending on the circumstance, you can be hard as a diamond, flexible as a willow, smooth-flowing as water, or as empty as space.
If an opponent strikes with fire, counter with water, becoming completely fluid and free-flowing. Water, by its very nature, never collides with or breaks against anything. On the contrary, it swallows up any attack harmlessly.
Move like a beam of light;
Fly like lightning,
Strike like thunder,
Whirl in circles around
A stable center.
Morihei Ueshiba
