Another name of “Method of Hardness and Softness” is the exercise with a paper bundle. This Shaolin skill belongs to YANG category, but it also uses the vital energy QI, training in which belongs to YIN category. This Shaolin GONG FU is concentrated in a fist. Although it is said to be the hard GONG FU, but you will understand in a process of training that it is not pure hardness. Actually, it is mutually complementary combination of soft and hard GONG FU...

<...>

 

...Although a man, struck with the same force, receives an injury not as heavy as that one when GONG FU "Horse's Saddle" (MA AN GONG) is used, all the same he will fly at a distance of more than 2 ZHANGs (about 6.6 m) and fall. This method is very effective in a combat with several enemies. The gist of this method is hardness YANG, but softness YIN is also available. Thus, hardness and softness complement each other, that’s why the exercise is called “Method of Hardness and Softness” (GANG ROU FA).
