Timing

Though there are various definitions for what is referred to as timing in the martial arts, generally it refers to the ability to know the right moment to execute a technique. This means that you have the capacity to recognize openings in your opponents defense and to capitalize upon those opportunities.

What is the right time? It's the time at which the move can be the most effective.

Principles and Concepts

What is the difference between principle and concept?

The words are often used interchangeably, which begs the question, what is a principle and what is a concept? Are they the same thing or is their a difference? Well, this isn't really an easy thing to answer as there is a great deal of philosophic and scientific thought behind these terms. Here's some interesting articles which explore these topics.

New World Encyclopedia: Concept

New World Encyclopedia: Principle

From the book "Principles and Concepts for Martial Arts:

Principles are ideas which lead to success. They are logical explanations of how and why things work-or don't. If a principle is true and it is applied correctly, it results in success.
