We as martial artists, we should kick ass, so why do we want to train harmony and balance? Martial art is not only for fighting. Chinese martial art – Kung Fu - is about cultivation. Therefore it consists of health, martial, and mental-spiritual to understand ‘who you are’. In other words, to have balance and harmony to be HAPPY. You want to be a happy person. I’m a happy person versus I’m an angry person is different. If I’m a happy person, you are along with nature. Practically speaking, nature has no freedom. If you’re not with nature, you’re against nature. If you’re not with nature, it kicks your ass. That means you kick your own ass. So you train balance and harmony and you still can kick ass. You don’t want to train angry mental to kick ass.
