| The guiding principle of this 
    art is the belief that the received impact of a strike or a force is far 
    greater when the body is working as a harmonius unit.There are two elements 
    to this art- internal and external both of which have three harmonies of 
    combinations. External Harmonies- 'San wai 
    he'Coordination between hips and shoulders, knees and elbows and feet and 
    hands.If the maximum amount of power is to be delivered by the strike, all 
    parts of the body and mind must act in complete harmony with each other.
 Internal Harmonies- 'San nei 
    he'How the spirit harmonizes with intention, how intention harmonizes with 
    physical energy, and how physical energy harmonizes with strength.These six 
    harmonies must work together in order to deliver the most effective strikes.
