Rinchen, Same here, looking for something to do during quarantine. It is what I need, I've been looking for it. Thanks

Quan means fist or boxing system. He doesnt practice a martial art.

... just watched this clip (5 years after you posted your question). I believe he's using 'Zen Circles'. I don't know if these originated in Japan or China but they are an important icon of the Zen (Chan) Buddhism that China spread in Japan. Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Daoism and Buddhism. I'm not clear on precisely how much the Zen circle technically represents the Daoist concept of TaiJi and or how much it represents Daoism's Wuji. I think that on a basic level it represents Wuji but don't quote me on it (the distinctions are apparently oppositional but not solid in certain senses anyway). In any case you can say that Taiji is within Wuji, so probably you can also say that the two classic Taiji fish are usually swimming in a Wuji circle symbol. Here the opened circle is probably inspired or informed by the Zen Circle version. The Yinyang symbol has many variations that have come in and out of fashion over the centuries, having an open circle aspect is pretty cool to me

@@alexhall6943 thank you!

Interesting. To extend the analogy, Radugast the Brown focused much more on Yin/Earth energy, ignoring Ren/People and Yang/Sky.

That is an interesting connection to myth....that is why the sage always travels through the middle way or middle kingdoms...

There was also an element of one must fall so the other could take his place. As Saruman succumbed to the ancient magics and dark technologies of Mordor, Gandalf plunged into the abyss fighting and vanquishing his own ancient foe from an earlier age and emerging again into the world as Gandalf The White to help shepherd the world from the Third Age to the Fourth and then pass on to Valinor with the Ring Bearers.

I fart in your general direction

well saruman was the wizard of technology and industry. he had no capacity for spiritual balance.

Any real life examples???

@@azadlatif6427 me. I wasn’t ready for any of this yet here I am. Fumbling forward becoming less blind but man is it hard

the Absurdistic Freedom I wish!

The boundary of Yin and yang emits energy. Because there is resistance.

the Absurdistic Freedom That would only be funny if it were a joke Lol
