For a long time, martial arts were central to my life. I trained throughout the week, and studied multiple styles at once. Of my favorites was Wing Chun, made famous in America by the Ip Man movies, which I studied for five years. In Wing Chun there is a saying, “accept what comes, follow what goes, and attack without hesitation.” This saying can be accompanied by the image of a blade of grass that, should it stand erect against the wind, will snap, but if it blows with the wind, will remain strong.
