The History/Philosophy Board examines the ideas that sprang from Chinese sources such as the I Ching and the Tao de Ching. The Yin Yang and the Five Element theory all effected the general principles of the arts. We also look at the history of several of the arts we use in the Synthesis such as Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing-i, Pakua Chang, Wing Chun, Fukien White Crane, Shaolin and the family art of Walu.
