exploding power - fire element
crossing power - earth element

Wu Hsing / Go Gyo - or five elements has to be studied extensively. It originates from traditional Chinese medicine.
t is a concept that is applied to the internal martial arts but can be applied to any complete and true art.
The elements are associated with the meridians of acupuncture, body type and many others.
The above is general info.
As to how it is applied, no one who truly understands it would ever post that on an open forum like this one. There are too many kids AND adults on here who would misuse it.
Anyone who does post any bits of info here doesn't really know enough about it to truly explain and I advise anyone to refrain from trying to apply anything they read.
As far as them being "combat modes", this is a misinterpretation. They have nothing to do with combat although they can be applied to martial technique.
