The Dualistic Monism Doctrine of Martial Arts

A doctrine that says, i.e. monism, that reality consists of a single basic substance or element. It is that which speaks toward a singular energy. Dualistic is the doctrine of duality such as hot and cold, hard and soft, etc. When coupled this explains that the great tai chi, the one, created by singular energies the duality of yin-yang that has grown evolutionarily represented by the I Ching, i.e. the trigrams and hexagrams, etc.

Dualistic Monism governs all life in the universe. It is not cut and dry as hot vs. cold. It does comprise "change" that vacillates from extremes such as hot and cold. There is never a stationary yin or yang for change has its own dynamic that causes things to shift from one to the other through the processes of yin-yang.

The martial arts also receives its direction from dualistic monism. It is a singular practice that creates equilibrium of the body-mind. It is governing the body-mind to create a steady ebb and flow that is controlled to some extent through a physical-mental practice that is repetitive and fluid. There is no conflict between the extremes but a coexistence or symbiotic relation where they remain a distinct energy but work symbiotically to create either good or evil and all the stages or levels between.
