The Collective

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

The Borg symbolically represent how martial arts and karate principles all work, it is not just the single one that gets the job done but rather the entire collective, "resistance is futile." 

• Structure, by itself doesn't work.
• Balance, by itself doesn't work.
• Alignment, by itself doesn't work. 
• Movement, by itself doesn't work. 
• Breathing, by itself doesn't work except as a life thing.
• Spinal alignment, by itself doesn't work. 

Together, mutually and effectively combined as a whole ... "Works!" Granted, there are other things involved to self-protect but in essence the idea presented is that many myriad things aligned and applied properly do work almost every time. If it doesn't work one of the components may have failed in application, i.e., if structure is gone the others may carry it but the probability of not working increases then compounds if other factors or principles fail to work or not applied, etc.

In the drama that symbolizes how groups and their dynamics work and have worked as proved by our survival the Borg as a collective make them a daunting and powerful force. Be the kinder and gentler Borg of principles, apply them wholeheartedly as “one” to be a daunting and powerful force of self-protection.
