Polarity

Evan Pantazi · Post by **Evan Pantazi** » Wed Mar 06, 2002 2:58 pm

This is written at Dana Sans request. please bear in mind we cannot possibley get into the detail covered in the Black Belt article so I suggest getting it anyway and reading it. This is not based speculation, but on years of observation, application and validation.

We have seen that Women's energy is directly opposite of Man's. All the information to be disscussed here is also based on striking Pressure Points correctly and I dare say with much practice.

A simple exercise for Women to start the discussion:

1. Get a Male Uke
2. Strike ST-5 down and in with a palm heel foot flat on floor (note reaction)
3. Strike again using a Hook Punch Down and in foot flat on floor (note reaction)

Use intent, relaxed heavy hand not hard power and repeat the whole process with a Female.

Thanks Evan!

I'll grab some folks on thursday night and give it a try. I'll post my findings.

Mr. Pantazi, so we can understand the thread, what does it mean that women's energy is opposite men's? For example, when we say electrons and protons have opposite charges, we mean that they attract their opposites and repel identically charged particles, and we arbitrarily give the names positive and negative to the charges that have this behavior.

Ian San,

I do not have any information on Protons and Nuetrons, or what is at hand other than Women need to strike opposite of Males to get the same effect. The word energy may be arbitrary but the sensations and effects not.

Hey Ian,

I have a guess that some of this may be physiological. Evan chooses to describe the scenario using the language of chinese medicine. Rather than debating the language - I'd rather we spend the bandwidth exploring the cause and effect.

I agree that it would be easier if we all used the same terms to describe stuff - but that's not likely to happen. And after a couple years of watching you and Evan talk it out - I don't think either of you is going to change the mind of the other.

I mean, some people like to use Japanese terms to describe fists and stances and stuff. Other folks prefer western terms in English.

I don't think language is the point to debate on this topic. Whether or not it works is going to be much more interesting to me.

Let's all go try it out and see if there's a difference.

Makes sense from a yin/yang perspective, doesn't it?

If we designate women as yin, men as yang, then everything falls into a yin-yang philosophy BUT all we've done is rename the situation and have yet to make any observations about the real world or make any useful or testable predictions. So, if we use the yin yang perspective.... what does THAT mean?

Actually my post wasn't asking Evan to show that men and women have opposite charges. I just wanted to know what his language means and I wasn't trying to debate his choice of words or westernize it. Just to know what it means. SAying women need to hit opposite of men doesn't lead us to any conclusions really, because it could mean:

When a woman hits (A) it gets the same effect as a man hitting (B) where A and B could be anything from:

1) soft and hard (all of these include vice versa)
2) front and back
3) top and bottom
4) in versus out
5) with intent, without
6) right and left
7) fire and water points, etc
8) foot instead of hand
9) so on.

So my original question remains, can we say what we mean by opposite polarity, just as physicists say what they mean by opposite polarity, so we know what they're talking about and can formulate responses and tests re: their theories.

Ladies,

It is too bad that again one has tried to derail your finding a simple answer to enhance your skills.

If you are still interested email me at: <A HREF="mailto:evan@kyusho.com">evan@kyusho.com</A>

PS at a semianr this weekend we did have some Uechi practioners...very open minded. They saw the worth at a summer camp and went to learn it, simple.

In most circumstances on the forums one will not run into silence when you ask people to justify what they are saying, nevermind running into trouble asking people to simply clarify what they are saying. Asking what people mean with their terminology is not inconsistent with being "openminded."

A simple answer, in fact, is all I *am* trying to get.

Ian....yes, women's energy is opposite of men's. We can change that with a different kind of strike or by a different stance too.
