Yin & Yang

(Yin-"female", dark, secret, and Yang-"Male", light, sun.) In the internal martial arts, the practitioner seeks to balance his/her yin & yang through the practice of forms and Qigong. In Chi Sau, the exchange is such that Yin counterbalances Yang, Yang counter balances Yin, and so forth. There are numerous examples of the two elements in the forms, such as Tan, Fong, Bong, and so forth, which act in a passive manner to deflect and disrupt the Yang. Yet, any of the these may act in turn as Yang in a situation where they become a weapon. The same is true of the weapons, such as Cung Zoeng (thrusting palm), Zoeng Ceoi (battle strikes), Fat Sau (whisking hand), and so forth, which may become Yin, if the need arises.
