RE: Sci-Fi, beloved childhood cartoon characters, and ancient Chinese philosophy... Now we're having some fun!

We train with this energy, the man who taught me stated the closest thing to the energy in our art is 'The Force' in Star Wars. Like one of our Mantras is 'What can kill can also heal' (This duality being the nature of the force also in that it can be used to generate light or darkness) and the Dao de jing is a work we and the many others who train in our art are deeply familiar with. Interestingly our art since was and will never be named because of much much older traditions than what are seen as 'traditional' martial arts (because to name something is to own it and ours is not to own, simply experience)...Anyway, nice vid :)
