Xing yi quan (chuan) and five elements theory.

 A video about xing yi quan (chuan) and five elements theory. An art that shares the same principles with tai chi chuan about health. The martial applications are more linear and direct. Circles and curves  are expressed differently   in the xing yi artist's movement.  Martial ability gained rapid for the serious practitioner.

The video  is  theoretical but  very helpful for someone to understand the underlying principles of  Chinese martial arts. Practice is the best way to put in motion all this theoretical package . Every culture has unique ways to express universal truths.  As a Greek origin person took me very long time to realise that I couldn't copy , paste parts  of    this     great   Chinese tradition  . With a lot of respect in both Greek and Chinese civilisations I'm trying to use things that are working for me,and hope that I have   the mentality of understanding them properly . LOVE of JESUS saved me in a terrible crush-point  of  my personal and social life .I value  very high  Greek philosophy and today's modern  SCIENCE .  China with this vast history  and the deep knowledge of how things are working in the cosmos influenced my youth and still have a great impact on the way I see life. Energy that I feel running through my hands in a therapeutic  session, I believe that is a gift and a tool from JESUS  helping me and others to open a way in the jungle of modern society keeping our health and mind in good shape .I respect persons of  good will and try to have an open mind to different people and beliefs. I hope that inspite  my shortcomings the path I walk is in the right direction....
