Võ-Thuât y-Quyên, like the majority of the martial arts, seeks the truth in practice and not the illusion. We do not need the kindness of the partner to carry out catches, this last will be able to connect the movements as it wishes it.

It is to the practitioner of Võ-Thuât to even harmonize itself with him, thanks to the principle of not-resistance and the feeling to stick to the other (niem), the whole being based on a very fine practice of displacements.

One learns how to use the khi in order to coordinate the body and the spirit.

In Võ-Thuât Y-Quyên, it is not necessary to finish quickly or brutally a catch, because, once the started movement, the adversary is put in continuous imbalance what prevents it from resisting.

Each catch includes three aspects (technique, khi, and mental) and rests on several fundamental points (defense or parade, attacks).

The respect of these elements will make it possible to conclude by a key, a projection or by a blow (foot or hand).

Various principles of the school allow these applications:

  - The use of the flexibility against the force (Di nhu chi cuong)

  - The use of not-resistance and the harmony (You Lang chong thiên cân)

  - The principle of the action and the reaction (Phan ung)

  - The principle of imbalance

  - The principle of the fluidity and the continuity of the movement.

It in common has with the tai chi chuan the use of the principles Yin-Yang (âm-duong) as principles, as well as the work of Khi.

The practice is at the same time hard and enthralling and can only be advantageous for that or that which agrees to seek beyond the only appearance of the things or the modes.

Work calls upon the effort, perseverance, the knowledge, the skill; knowledge which is acquired with time.

This work is carried out with the goal to raise the individual, to exceed the stage of a technical skill in order to reach a step body/spirit (hsing ý).

This research where the individual is in the center of the step should not make forget the origin of the practice (the war) and its requirement first (effectiveness and performance).
