Channel surfing, I randomly happened to start watching It's a Hard Day's Night (black and white, Beatles movie) part way through, and it was almost unbearably, unexpectedly political and endearing.

This really strange compare-contrast of English class structures and tropes absolutely sliced through the middle by the incredibly modern presentation of the Beatles who pay no attention at all to the class structures around them, almost as if they were a group of people transported back in time, who had no understanding of any of those social cues.

An absolute mess of filmic cliches thrown together, too, but then that was also sliced through with these incredibly striking moments of strangely modernist/post modern cinematography, like a long scene of dialogue between Ringo and a street boy by a canal filmed their shoes only, the pair of them kicking a rock about like both were boys, there's no difference, the scene ending with Ringo saying 'I'm a deserter as well'.

Then, there was this I found on Wiki which really seems to embody all of that:

Director Richard Lester said, "The general aim of the film was to present what was apparently becoming a social phenomenon in this country. Anarchy is too strong a word, but the quality of confidence that the boys exuded! Confidence that they could dress as they liked, speak as they liked, talk to the Queen as they liked, talk to the people on the train who 'fought the war for them' as they liked. ... [Everything was] still based on privilege—privilege by schooling, privilege by birth, privilege by accent, privilege by speech. The Beatles were the first people to attack this... they said if you want something, do it. You can do it. Forget all this talk about talent or ability or money or speech. Just do it."

I did not expect to care and was hooked by a few very simple seconds.

Last night I was in Lahti to see a punch of friends playing at @Maaliskuun Musta Messu - V. Yeah for once I wasn't singing and I just went to see a show. 😊 Line up of the night was @animahereticae, @pressurepointsofficial, @redmoonarchitect, @wheresmybible666, @kauniskuolematon, @andoceans_official. I managed to take a few pictures with my phone but not the whole thing cause you know, music is better when you hear it live. 😁🤘 The sound was great, hospitality and organization too (thanks to @tepporistola and his crew who did a fantastic work). 🤘 Of course the energy level today has reached the bottom but that's inevitable after a good evening. 😊 #maaliskuunmustamessu #kauniskuolematon #andoceans #animahereticae #redmoonarchitect #wheresmybible #pressurepoint #blackmetal #deathmetal #doommetal #melodicmetal #lahti #finland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp98SZiIBKB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Unveiling Liang Yi Quan

I'm introducing Jie Mei Quan (Liang Yi Quan), an internal kung-fu style blending yin-yang and the five elements. Similar to Tai Ji Quan, it's known for its swift, dominant combat style, focusing on disabling opponents adeptly.

Integrating philosophies

Liang Yi Quan merges Tai Ji and Bagua Zhang, grounded in traditional Chinese medicine and the ‘Book of Changes’. Practice includes combining slow and fast motions, emphasizing internal power, and strategic timing in combat.

Integrating Daoist realms

I’m weaving together Daoist principles to align Liang Yi Quan’s Tai Ji with the ‘Two Extremes’. This approach hones both internal and external power, fostering a balanced force.

Compiling crucial elements

Piecing together Master Duan Xiaofei's Liang Yi Quan, the text delves into Tai Yi Quan’s origins in traditional Chinese medicine, blending yin-yang and five elements, and highlighting its decisive Wushu-style combat.

Highlighting Master Duan

I’m crafting a structured essay about Master Duan Xiaofei and his Liang Yi Quan practice, incorporating elements like the Book of Changes, TCM, and Daoism.

Introduction to Liang Yi Quan and Master Duan Xiaofei

Welcome to this special introduction to Liang Yi Quan, also known as Tai Yi Quan. In this extended presentation, we will explore the origins, philosophies, and distinctive qualities of this unique internal style of kung-fu—and, more importantly, highlight the contributions of Master Duan Xiaofei, one of its dedicated practitioners and teachers. Whether you are familiar with the world of Tai Ji Quan and Bagua Zhang or simply curious about the vast realm of Chinese martial arts, you will find that Liang Yi Quan (The Two Extremes) has much to offer, both in terms of self-defense and personal cultivation.

1. Origins and Philosophical Underpinnings

Liang Yi Quan (or Tai Yi Quan) traces its roots back to ancient China, deriving its core principles from traditional Chinese medicine, Daoism, and key classical texts such as the ‘Book of Changes’. This ancient text, often referred to as the I Ching, introduces the fundamental concepts of yin (negative) and yang (positive)—energies that exist in all things—and the interplay of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Yin and Yang: Represent the complementary forces in the universe, whose balance and interaction create all forms of movement and transformation.

The Five Elements: Symbolize dynamic cycles in nature. In Liang Yi Quan, these elements influence striking methods, postures, and strategies in combat as well as in healing and energetic practice.

The term “Two Extremes” reflects the dynamic separation of yin and yang—a notion that, according to Daoist philosophy, emerges right after the formation of Tai Ji. While Tai Ji Quan often emphasizes a continuous flow of energy, Liang Yi Quan harnesses both the soft (yin) and the hard (yang) in rapid succession, enabling practitioners to transition seamlessly between slow, meditative movements and explosive bursts of power.

2. Physical Characteristics

Liang Yi Quan has often been described as a “fast Tai Ji Quan,” reflecting its decisive, dominating, and efficient form of Wushu. On the surface, you can see echoes of Tai Ji’s smooth, circular motions and Bagua Zhang’s agile footwork. However, Liang Yi Quan distinguishes itself through:

Combined Speed and Power: The practice includes sudden changes of pace—soft and flowing transitions give way to swift, explosive strikes or throws.

Lightning Reflection and Thundering Movement: These energetic shifts allow a knowledgeable practitioner to disable an opponent quickly, leveraging timing and precise angles.

Starting Late, Reaching First: In combat, Liang Yi Quan often teaches strategies that allow you to wait for your opponent’s move and then intercept or neutralize their force, providing both defensive security and offensive capability.

3. Internal Cultivation and Energy Work

At the heart of Liang Yi Quan lies the use of internal energy or “qi,” governed by the mind’s focus and intention. Drawing upon traditional Chinese medicine theory, Liang Yi Quan practice aims to:

Regulate the Breath: Proper breathing techniques help cultivate and circulate qi throughout the meridians in the body, promoting health, vitality, and mental clarity.

Strengthen the Body’s Core: Dynamic stances and waist movement channel the force from the ground through the center, creating unified, powerful strikes.

Harmonize Mind and Movement: By focusing the mind to direct internal energy, practitioners transform mental calm into explosive external power. This aspect makes Liang Yi Quan a valuable complement for those who already practice Tai Ji, as it deepens internal control and broadens martial applications.

4. Master Duan Xiaofei’s Role and Teachings

A notable figure in the propagation of Liang Yi Quan is Master Duan Xiaofei. With years of dedicated training under renowned masters and a profound understanding of Daoist principles, he has become an influential teacher who bridges classical knowledge with modern practice. Master Duan’s approach typically emphasizes:

Authentic Transmission of Forms: Ensuring that practitioners learn the original sequences, postures, and techniques without diluting their essence.

Integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Encouraging students to understand the health benefits and healing potential of correct practice.

Focus on the ‘Book of Changes’ and Philosophy: Incorporating philosophical insights that guide not just physical practice but also personal growth, discipline, and life balance.

Practical Application: Highlighting real-world combat scenarios, showing how Liang Yi Quan can be both a health-promoting art and a robust self-defense system.

By fusing ancient wisdom with accessible teachings, Master Duan Xiaofei ensures that Liang Yi Quan remains vital and relevant, especially for contemporary martial artists seeking a deeper connection between body, mind, and spirit.

5. Benefits and Conclusion

Liang Yi Quan offers a comprehensive system that suits various individuals: those seeking self-defense, internal balance, or personal development. Its blend of slow and fast, soft and hard, and fluid transitions of yin and yangcreates an exceptionally versatile martial art. Beyond the purely physical aspects, this practice can lead to:

Increased body awareness and coordination.

Enhanced energy circulation and holistic health.

Refined mental focus and stress relief.

A deeper connection to Daoist philosophy and traditional Chinese culture.

As you explore or consider training in Liang Yi Quan, keep in mind the significance of studying with a knowledgeable guide like Master Duan Xiaofei. His dedication to preserving the art’s authenticity, combined with his passion for empowering students, ensures that the essence of Liang Yi Quan remains both accessible and transformative.

For the horror themed writing ask game, any character you want <3

🧭 - what would your character do if they got lost in another dimension/ world/ universe/ timeline? do they try to go home? do they even want to?

Thank you sm for the ask!! [For this ask meme here]

If Marion got isekai'd, she'd scramble to learn the rules of her new surroundings as quickly as possible. Knowledge is power, and she's about to find every exploit and every loophole, every law to break and every pressurepoint to press. She has a knack for building networks of favors, contacts she can call on, but she's bad with people, and those she's in touch with generally do it despite the way she talks to them, not because of it.

This puts her at a disadvantage of figuring out how to get home, but depending on how much power she accrues and how much danger she's in on a daily basis, she might actually stay. There isn't much that holds her down at home.

Unless her and Jan have already met, in which case she'd do everything in her power to get back. Just because they're helpless on their own. She definitely doesn't miss them like crazy.
