The Art of Flowing



Those warriors are fierce, clinging to their weapons and their pride. But the old man in front of them do not have any weapon and his calm is his strength.
The warriors attacked with fast, violent and aggressive movements. The old man seemed not to get around, everyone thought that he would be defeated. After a few seconds the fierce warriors have been defeated, the old man remains calm, the warriors will never get up .

How did the old man win? How did the warriors lost? They asked the old man: " What techniques did you use?"
The old man smiled and said: " No techniques."

"But how can this be?" They insisted
And the old man answered: " Techniques are used only at the beginning of the game but then, the forms disappear, the combat disappears, everything turns silent, the battle is finished." And they asked one more question: " Where is your strength?"
And he only said: " In the wind." And then left.
And I asked myself: " What happened to the warriors? Why they did not survive?"
And the answer is :" The Art of the Wind is united to the Art of the Water, it is powerful as Fire but even more powerful than Fire.
