Tai Chi is a “soft internal” martial art. It’s slow, meditative practice makes it suitable for students of any age, in any physical condition. The Chinese characters for Tai Chi Chuan can be translated as the 'Supreme Ultimate Force'. The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin-yang, the notion that one can see a dynamic duality (male/female, active/passive, dark/light, forceful/yielding, etc.) in all things. 'Force' (or, more literally, 'fist') can be thought of here as the means or way of achieving this ying-yang, or 'supreme-ultimate' discipline.

Tai Chi Yang style, which we practice can perhaps best be understood as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. There are a number of forms - empty hand and with weapons (swords and fan), which consist of a sequence of movements. Many of these movements are originally derived from the observation of the natural movements of animals and birds. While Tai Chi can also be viewed as martial art, the emphasis is on its health aspects nurturing within each person their own chi (energy). One of its aims is to foster a calm and tranquil mind, focused on the precise execution of exercises and forms. Learning to do them correctly provides a practical avenue for learning about such things as balance, alignment, fine-scale motor control, rhythm, and the flow of movement from the body's vital centre. Tai Chi is performed in slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth and even transitions between them.

Software has become a complex play ground of selecting the right set of tools, languages and operating systems. Requiring services and components across API's, Frontends, Backends and Platforms, etc; to have a fully functional application. Building the combination of services and components that will form the technology stack which will become the system application.
- Using the RIGHT TOOL for the RIGHT JOB is key principle.

Continues integration and continues deployment to improve quality and speed of delivery to new features, enhancements and fixes. Utilizing automation, pipelines, quality gates and following best practices.
- Keeping the house IN ORDER to KEEP THE ORDER is another key principle.

Maintaining and up keeping of the application must be well understood. Allowing full operational use of the system application and the support services around the system application. System monitoring to ensure server up time coupled with notifiaction services to keep services levels always in the green.

Yushinkai Kubujutsu is a martial arts that originates from Ryukyu, a small island of Okinawa where for hundreds of years, islanders were subjected to Chinese and Japanese domination. Because they were not allowed to carry weapons, the islanders developed a very high degree of skill in using farm implements, which they integrated into their empty hand martial arts practice. The style is divided into Karate – empty hand arts ; Emono Jutsu (weapon arts).

The founder is Mtokatsu Inoue O’Sensei from Japan, who spent his life learning and mastering a number of traditional martial arts forms. The ethos of Kobujutsu is contained in what he said once, “The warrior must be a scholar and the scholar a warrior. The pen and the sword are not separate. We train to educate the mind and a healthy mind will in turn teach the body. This is a lesson of balance.”

Many of the weapons – bo (staff), sai, tonfa, nunchaka can be seen as farm implements that were adapted. By learning empty hand (including aikojitsu), weapon training and a holistic approach to martial arts you develop kokoro (heart, mind and spirit). The style is different from many more popular forms of modern martial arts around the world in that it stresses the practice of traditional martial arts and does not promote competitions or contact forms.
