How Yin Yang represents Martial arts and how to Understand it??
I want to explain about Yin yang and how it represents martial arts.
Most of us know that Yin yang represents life, It represents everything in the universe about being Bright and dark sides of everything in physical and mental state. For example we have everything in contrast like Day and Night, Bright and Light, Soft and Hard, Happiness and sadness, sweet and bitter, etc..
Same in Martial arts and Real fight we have 2 different things to do or get, One is Defense another one is Offence. okay this is just a small thing to know. But which is important to know about Yin yang in Martial arts is the shape of it. The circle and 2 circles travelling inside the circle in circular movement and follows each other.also small circles inside circles are closer to the Big circle.
And the Black and white is Obviously Defense and Offence and Defense with Deflection and then the Offence.
These are the basic principles which has to be applied in every martial arts which is not being applied in most of the martial arts unfortunately. These principles are strictly applied in Yutha sasthiram martial arts and Filipino kyusho
Years ago the Purpose of martial arts have been for using them in real situation. But nowadays it became a Big Business around the world so there is no time to prepare for the real situation while preparing the students for Belts, trophies and being proud to beat some one who is not fighting with
his full freedom But following the rules. Belt are important to know the level of the students but they
don't make sure of their survival. always belts should be less than their skills for adults. here it will vary between kids and adults. because kids will be trained very gradually according to their capacity and understanding level. for Kids the Belts helps them to continue study long time so they can understand everything slowly but in the end we have to make sure they understood what they have to.
For Adults martial art is not in the waist. it should be in the blood. When they are in training everyday, they do not have to fight. Their body should be able to respond quicker than their mind realizing they are in a fight. Body has more memory than Mind. So more we practice physically is better.
As Bruce lee said when the opportunity comes i Don't fight, (showing his fist) it fights all by itself.
Yin Yang
In LIFE or in MARTIAL ARTS It looks simple to understand the Yin yang but It is not. We need more practice with consciousness and more understanding.
In Mohammad Ali's Words
Yin - Fly like a Butterfly
Yang - Sting like a Bee..
See you all in my next Blog
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019
