10 Rules of Karate The Immutable Path to Victory

Your immutable path to victory?All ten precepts in this book are about ending physical confrontations as quickly as possible with empty-hand techniques. Our definition of "ending" is to make the attack stop. There is no running after the now fleeing assailant to catch and strike him down. There is no lesson, no teaching, no therapy, no epiphany. There is only making that bad guy stop what he is doing instantly so that we will be safe.The strategy of karate is based on principle, what we do to prepare for contact with an adversary, while tactics are what we do during battle. Practicing a martial art from tactics upward to principles creates a house of cards that will collapse from a gentle breeze, whereas working downward from principles into tactics builds a strong foundation that can weather near any storm.These ten principles are style agnostic, all about ending fights quickly. They cut to the heart of how we best apply our skills and training in the real world. Those who work with these principles will find swiftness, clarity, and victory in so doing.
