Im not sure if this is relevant but i was told that if you do a specific set of tai chi movements in the sand by the end of it your feet would have drawn a perfect yin yang in the sand and you would be based in the middle of it tai chi looks slow when done in excercising but could quite possibly be THE most deadliest martial art in the world when done fast.

Which martial arts are both internal and external at the same time?
Most traditional martial arts include an emotional and a physical change. They teach self-discipline and respect, which I imagine you are referring to as 'internal'. All martial arts offer a physical development of skills, understanding and ability. Basically all martial arts have an internal and external aspect to them. The balance between the two is critical to being a good martial artist. Many arts stress one side or another, but they cannot exist alone. It is the whole Yin/Yang or hard/soft combination that works so well.
Which color is ying and which color is yang?
I think you may be referring to yin and yang. If my knowledge is correct then yin has a light color, usually white, while yang has a dark color, usually black.
What is the difference between internal forms of martial arts and external forms of martial arts?
Internal/External or Soft/Hard refer to the basic tendencies of a martial art. Soft or internal arts such as Tai Chi and Aikido work on the energy and power internal to the human body, using it to redirect blows and deflect power. Hard or External arts, such as Karate, initially focus on striking and powerful blows and kicks. As one becomes more experienced in the art of choice, you discover that there are more similarities between them then there are differences. All arts have a Hard/Soft or Yin/Yang component to them. More input: Internal arts are used more in dealing with pain and controlling the body, making it do whatever you need it to do. Such as Shaolin Monks being supported by spears in the torso and extremities. In short, Internal arts condition the will and Chi (life energy) and External arts condition the actual physical aspects of the body such as pain and injury tolerance.
What does a red dragon vs blue dragon tattoo mean?
It's much like a yin/yang symbol. A balance between light and dark/positive and negative. I've seen a few tats that have them fighting around a yin/yang symbol. It's much like a yin/yang symbol.

Which martial arts is associate with Daoism?
The Samurai sword arts are closely related to Daoism in Japan. And in China it is Kung Fu, particularly Shoalin styles, which are closely related to the monks and temples. While some make it an integral part of the art, anyone can practice Daoism as a part of their martial art study if they so desire. In most places karate is not associated with Daoism.
