Out of interest, has anybody ever found that the destructive cycle in particular is of any real martial value. I know the theory, as I'm sure any kempo senior grade does, but I can't say that I've ever really found it of any martial application whatsoever. I'd go so far as to say that I suspect it's total cobblers. Has anybody else got any take on it? Any healers who use the constructive cycle (as I can't honestly say I find that any more use in my healing practice either). G
In my case shiatsu / accupressure. The use of TCM theory in both kempo and shiatsu complementing each other (except arguably the destructive / constructive cycles, unless anybody can show where I'm missing the point, for which I'd be grateful). G
