Chung Fu Martial Arts Meditation School Logo

The traditional Taoist Yin Yang symbol with the Yijing (I Ching) symbol #61, Inner Truth, in the center. This logo conveys the idea that while the world around you is in constant change, you can remain grounded through a deep connection to Inner Truth. “When there is no more separation between this and that, it is called the still point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle, one can see the infinite in all things.” ~ Chuang Tzu
