Regarding the article on the color of life. I study martial arts. In some styles the study of pressure points or Kyusho (acupuncture for hurting) is an area of study. Some styles call it vital points. I digress...the reason this article is interesting is that in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) pressure points are attributed to color (and smells, emotions, elements). Some martial artists go the extreme end to connect these things in self defense, but really it makes it all too complicated (not to mention voodoo). Now pressure points exist, but color? This article makes an interesting connection. I am not sure I would bother adding it to my self defense study. You only have fractions of a second to react and analyzing color to make the correct action....naw. At the end a punch is still a punch. Still the analysis is interesting.

Interesting connection! As someone who studied Jeet Kune Do for several years in my youth I can attest to a punch still being a punch. I'd rather fall back on training than trying to get all hippie-dippy and figure out the color before taking a shot to the head :-) Cheers, J-
