TAIJI SWORD 吳圖南 by Wu Tunan published 1936 Trans. Scott M. Rodell

夫劍法無運用不能因敵致勝，微變化焉能出入神奇。是以初學劍術者，或姿勢不正確，或動作不自然，或應用不純熟，或轉換不玲琍。是皆由於不知運用之變化使然也。

Those practicing sword who do not practice applications can not achieve victory over different types of enemies,* (without practicing applications) if the enemy makes little changes you can not move the sword in and out with miraculous skill. Therefore, when first studying the sword art, maybe the postures are not correct, maybe the movements are not natural, maybe the applications not skillful, maybe the changes are not nimble. This is all due to not knowing the changes in applications.
