Grandmaster Wong and Sifu Jeffrey engage in Combat Sequence 11

The saying ?starting later but arriving earlier? is often heard in Taijiquan, but not many practitioners really know what it means, less know how to employ this principle in combat.

One excellent example of applying this principle is found in Combat Sequence 11, ?Cloud Hands?. It is worthy of note that the successful application of this principle depends not on merely moving faster than your opponent but on timing and precision.
