5 Element Theory re: Martial Arts! - 10/23/06 12:27 PM
Hello:
I am looking for coherent & articulate explaination of 5 element theory as pertains specifically to Martial Arts practice, and or particular specific arts.
However I have a few basic criteria... The explaination CANNOT be cyclical. They should not be mysterious. They need to be in English! I am NOT seeking chinese cosmology in place of discussion/explaination. "...the yin/yang element of Tao which is described by the yang elements of the 5 element theory..."
Is anyone familiar with websites, arts, discussions which are comprehensible re: 5 element theory? Looking for the Adam Hsu's, Robert Smith's the Donn Draeger's & Dave Lowry's authors/practitioners/presentors of the Chinese arts....
Can anyone help point the way to understandable 5 element theory discussions/articulations specific to the martial arts?
Jeff
