Everything that gets learned on the floor rather than at a desk.
Visual Arts#
Work where the output is a picture or a poem rather than a technique.
Movement Arts#
Arts whose claims are settled by the body — a technique either works under load or it does not.
🥋 Fei Kune Do — The Way of the Flying Fist
- Systems are LEGO, not boxes. Decompose the art, recombine the pieces, keep nothing because it is traditional.
🌀 Ontological Engineering Live Demo #2 — Tai-eira / Capochi (stub)
- Seven techniques, one question each: what does the waist do, what does the weight do, and where does it lie to the opponent?
- Lan Zha Yi, Armada, Cloud Hands, Meia-lua de compasso, Golden Rooster, Ebi, Dan Bian — each with its Tai-eira reading.
- Name still undecided: Tai-eira or Capochi.
— 🥋 the seven techniques · source lives in Lesson 24
Symbolic Arts#
Arts whose subject is meaning rather than motion — what a technique stands for once the motion is removed.
🕯️ 神拳學 · Shuen Kuen Hok — Theology Via Martial Arts
- Body is HP, mind is MP, spirit is the ult charge. The third bar most systems never name.
⚗️ 無術 · Mo Jitsu — The Spell of Nothing
