With a progressive method of training higher level of internal power. Among these more advanced properties explored: contradictive forces (called also opposite forces) but also in training "Seeking Force" thus intensifying internal sensations, body alignment and  amplitudes of forces involved in these exercises.

The Combat posts presented are also approached according to their degree of difficulties  each post necessiting the mastery of previously presented ones.
As in Healing posts, Yao starts with an "Universal post" refering to the most basic Combat post. Included in this training , a more detailed explanation of "T-eight step".

As an important distinctive feature of Yao's method in Combat Posts are the arrangement of  Combat  posts:  in each post presented a further step of complexity is requested from the practitioner  to be mastered.

From T-eight step posture  to One supporting leg posture, Yao has selected Eight progressive posts exposing his vision of Yiquan evolutive standardts in physical and mental requests of Combat Posts, bringing the practitioner to the limits of his present level of development and methods to overpass them and in the same way opening new space of body/mental particularly useful  for  fighting abilities.
