Roger Ames on Confucian China

[Bob]

Very indirect way but lots of insight on how Chinese thought and with a stretch it might have an implication or two for understanding the philosophical roots from which traditional Chinese martial arts grew.

Second clip has, at the beginning, a short bit on TCM and Qi--I found his insights very useful in understanding China in general and the arts in particular.
