The most essential
Characteristic of the Jianke is Calm (沉着)-

A calm heart is the foundation all other skills are built upon. A frantic mind will become dogmatic and fall into using the same technique over and over, regardless of effectiveness. A tense body becomes disjointed and slow and over reacts. A tense body lacks the looseness and alignment needed to transmit internal power. An unsettled heart and mind falls back on rushing forward boldly to overcome inaction or fumbles in fear. The jianke therefore endeavors to develop a quiet mind and calm heart that remains still regardless of the turmoil of the moment.
