The Porb is more than a shape. It is a quiet proof that form can exist without edges, without hierarchy, without direction. It does not begin; it does not end. What the Porb is A form: perfectly round — the least surface area for a given volume. It looks the same from every angle. An instrument: when touched, moved, or simply observed, it vibrates to attention and asks the hand and the mind to come back to completeness. A symbol: unity in motion. Every point on it is an equal distance from a hidden heart — felt, never seen. A tool: it teaches balance. It rolls, turning effort into flow. Whoever works with a Porb enters a quiet dialogue with a universe that prefers circles. Every motion is circular. Every change returns — nothing repeats exactly the same. Core Principles All sides equal. The Porb has no front, no back, no superior point. Flow over force. Movement with the Porb is surrender, not struggle. The invisible core. Its true power is felt, not shown....

   In Percomboo, there are three primary instruments: the Stick , the Board , and the Porb . Each represents a dimension—one, two, and three—and serves as a medium for learning universal principles, refining personal movement, enhancing coordination, and providing physical exercise for muscles and joints. As you progress, these instruments can also become tools for artistic expression or simply a source of personal enjoyment. Stick    The stick is the simplest of the three instruments and is artistically closest to traditional practices such as eskrima or baton arts. It is typically a bit shorter than a standard staff. Symbolically, it represents one dimension —a straight line—and serves as a bridge between two points . It is also the most practical for self-defence, as it is easy to use, intuitive, and highly effective. In essence, it’s one of the most basic tools or machines ever created, yet incredibly versatile.

  Yin and Yang: The Paralysis of Perfect Balance Yin and yang is the well-known symbol of the world's ever-moving duality. These are universal principles, but more specifically, yin or yang represents attitude — your chosen approach to life. While understanding the whole principle is helpful, trying to represent both sides simultaneously can be devastating. I’ve learned this through years of philosophical experience. Nobody can deny the fundamental truth that everything has two sides. If we pay attention, it’s obvious. That was my starting point 20–30 years ago. When both sides are equal, they are in balance — in harmony — which means they are not moving. Like a scale: as long as one side is heavier, the scale moves. Harmony sounds appealing, but balance is also a form of stillness — in other words, death. Consequently, harmony cannot last long because life is constant movement and change. An individual's desire for peace is often just the hope for a break — the weekend, th...

This is my favourite oriental symbol of all time. Why? Because it perfectly captures the essence of how the world operates. Opposites, motion, transformation, cycles—this symbol represents them all. It illustrates how seemingly separate forces are, in fact, deeply interconnected. Their dynamic tension and constant interplay are what drive the world forward. This principle applies universally—whether in the material, mental, or spiritual realm. The idea of separation, of duality, is what allows everything to move, to evolve, and to exist in a perpetual state of change. Nothing in this world is purely one-sided. Nothing is entirely good, or entirely bad. That’s simply impossible. You might only perceive one side of a situation at a given moment, but that doesn’t make it the whole truth. Once you learn to adopt a more objective perspective, you begin to see the hidden balance in everything—even in the most challenging circumstances. You can discover the positive potential within situat...
