Hammerhead,
Thankyou. I really know nothing of the chinese arts technically speaking. I am fairly familiar with the philisophical aspects but not in with their direct relations to each art itself. The book of changes is especially interesting to me at the moment.
Are such classics as the I-Ching or the Tao teh Ching considered mandatory reading to people studying the chinese arts? I would imagine a basic understanding would be essential for the internal arts at least.
BTW, thanks to all who patiently answer my questions, I am learning quite abit.
