 The synonymous with martial arts, right? I mean, people look at this symbol and they think martial arts, a lot of martial arts places have it. And yes, it means balance, because we have a circle divided into two. And then this part has a part of this, and this part has a part of this. So that creates a balance. You never have in reality or in the world, if something is completely 100% one side, what happens? Disaster. Disaster, yeah. Basically, it means death. If you go into some more deeper meanings, it means death. That's why there's a part of the yang in the yin and there's a part of the yin in the yang. So there are basically two parts of the same thing. There is male, and then there's female, so maybe you erase it. And then there's active, passive, hard and soft. Effort, inertia, external, internal, aggressive, responsive, left brain, which is logic, reasoning, and right brain, which is creativity and emotions, things like that. So these days, when you watch martial arts, or you watch fights and stuff like that, and TV, what do you mostly see? Yang. A lot of the yang, right? A lot of aggression, a lot of violence, a lot of becoming stronger, tougher, harder, faster. Now, what's wrong with that? So it leads to death? If it's too much of it. Yeah, yeah. So one needs to happen. You can balance it out. More yin. You can do the same thing with any kind of conflict you have. You can deal with conflicts this way, and it works. What happens if you use too much of it? You become the bully. You become the bad guy. You don't have to beat the other guy and be stronger than the other guy all the time, outwardly. You can, what about this side? Do these things solve problems too? Being passive. Does being passive solve problems? Absolutely. Can't even hear. Did Gandhi solve a lot of problems? Did he fight? No. Passive. And he probably won the most influential people in history. He didn't fight at all. He used this side, and he was able to change the whole country, right? Softness. Using inertia, momentum, instead of using effort, okay? Internal. Being responsive instead of aggressive, okay? And using creativity, using feeling, using emotion, using compassion to solve problems, rather than just using force and using aggression, okay? So as a martial arts school, we need to remember that we're not always focusing on just being stronger, tougher, faster, bigger, meaner, which is why a lot of TV, a lot of sports events like that, right? And if that serves its purpose, it's sometimes. You can use it, but also remember that there's another part of it, that the female side, okay? The feminine side of it, that will balance your life and it will balance your fighting even, okay? Take you through the even higher level in your martial arts and your personal development, okay? So that's in the end. Cool? Cool questions? Any comments? Yeah. And then I just want to add to that, correct me if I'm wrong, but eventually you want to learn, you want to know how to move between the two. Is every situation required a side of one or both? Right. Yeah, I'm not saying the one's better, but right now, most of YCTB is just one side. Yeah. You don't see much of this side of the end, okay? So yes, you can use yet, but remember there's another side. We need to learn how to use both and balance it. So is the martial arts the both? Do you have not wanting to fight to defend or rather defend yourself? Well, martial arts is this, is being able to do both, being able to balance yourself so that you can be adept at doing both. You can be aggressive when you need to, but you can be passive when you need to, depending on the situation, to adapt, adapt to whatever situation comes. Sometimes the Yang is really obvious and he is hard to see, right? But it's all in the techniques. Right. To make your Yang and your hard energy better, you need the soft flow in between. Exactly. So when we start martial arts, we learn to techniques, we learn how to develop power. We have, a lot of us learn Yang, we have to learn with the Yang way because it's our brains and then society is kind of geared towards that. So a lot of people can't learn the Yin way. It's very difficult, okay? So we teach the Yang way and then over time, the Yin starts to sink in. The female, the feminine starts to sink in. The softness, using the momentum instead of force starts to generate, starts to sink in. As more, it takes a longer time, it's like marinating something that you're cooking. You can't just microwave it, you gotta take time to cultivate it. So instructor Yang at Combined Wing Chun and we'll see you soon in our next video.
