The wind element in STMA is weapons.

Just as the wind moves over the land, moving objects with it’s unseen power, so you move across the floor with your footwork, wielding your stick in your hand.

The sticks cut the air like wind, the crack of wood on wood is like thunder, the stick moves fast as lightning and when it strikes the enemy it lights up his nervous system with a  flash of pain.

In the body the Wind refers to the breath.
