These sets, though fast, are not done in the same way as external boxing, and this is stressed also as a taboo. Though the main mode of practice for Taijiquan is slow and rightfully so. To ready the body to retain these essentials in a more combative context. Yet even with this speedier mode of practice, it is not fast beating slow or big beating small. Beating fast with slow and big with small is still primary but the ability to call forth speed to counter great speed without losing all the qualities and without losing the principles of Taijiquan is important.
