Are there any martial arts philosophies that wuxia presents in a profound manner, but which actually, when you think about it, are just simple, common sense (almost stupidly obvious) ideas?
For example, the philosophy of using overwhelming force that underlies such skills as Hong Lung 18 Palms and Heavy Iron Sword. Well, no kidding: if you have overwhelming force and you don't get stupid with it, you'll *usually* beat your opponent. This isn't an idea you need to spend years meditating in a cave to figure out, though. Every schoolyard bully knows that one.
