How can the weak defeat the strong?

The following are the principles that we learn in Mantis Boxing.

It all lies in deceptive dodging, leaping and turning.
If you can dodge deceptively then even though your opponent has a mountain pulling force it will be wasted in vain.
By leaping and turning you can break into your opponent's opening and take advantage of him.
It is best to seemingly give way while not really giving way.
First break through then turn and come back, why should you remain motionless?"
