In order to reach optimum health the body as a whole must be in balance.  In eastern medicine there is a connection between the mind, the body and the spirit.  They are one.  Our emotions live inside our organs and affect our energy.  Too much of any emotion is not good, even joy.  Keeping  oneself under control emotionally and physically results in a happy spirit.  There are also external forces that affect our well-being; the elements of nature; wood, earth, fire, water and metal.  These elements are related to the seasons, colours, animals, smells, sounds, directions… In the 5 Animal System, we recognize this relationship and aim to use this ancient health system as a tool in our martial training.
