Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
The concept is inherited from the Ancient Chinese who wrote the book, “The I-Ching.” This concept permeates everything in the Universe. It is an ancient explanation of all things or what they refer to as the “myriad things of the Universe.” How does this apply to karate and martial arts or more importantly how does this apply to self-defense karate and martial arts?
First, the principle and concept of the reciprocal and complementary nature that is yin-yang indicates that one must achieve a complete, as humanly possible, understanding of the knowledge that makes self-defense and martial arts a reality. If one aspect or side is incomplete or missing its effect on the other side, in this case the application of self-defense in conflict and violence, results in less than optimal results where the proponent can end up dead or greatly injured let alone the ramifications of those after-affects resulting from self-defense.
Look at power generation in the body, if the balance of hard-n-soft as applied through the sub-principle of dynamic tension and relaxation along with sequential tension and sequential relaxation one cannot generate the energy necessary to flow and apply it to a target.
Look at the self-defense aspect of avoidance, if one does not know or understand the art of conflict communications, etc., then how can they avoid and de-escalate. If we are unable to recognize changes, i.e., be they dangerous and bad vs. not dangerous and good, then how can we enact avoidance by simply leaving that situation and environment. This is yin-yang for self-defense martial arts.
