    What are the principals of your style?

    Of course this is inspired by the other thread...

    Ok, a styles principals can be broken down into a number of catagories, like principals that guide body structure, mechanics, footwork, tactics entry, positioning, attacks, defenses etc.. There are even principals used to guid the training methods that TEACH the principals of the arts. What are the principals your art uses in the various catagories?

    1. Principals of body structure

    2. Principals of body Mechanics

    3. Principals of Footwork

    4. Principals of entry, and positioning.

    5. Principals of combat, tactics, attacks, defense etc...

    6. Principals of training skills, and of coure principals.


    and for those of you who miss my soap opera posts (because I'm alone right now), what are the principals of chaseing, and catching women?
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    Ask these guys
    More than half of Kyrgyzstan's married women were snatched from the street by their husbands in a custom known as "ala kachuu," which translates roughly as "grab and run." In its most benign form, it is a kind of elopement, in which a man whisks awaya willing girlfriend. But often it is something more violent.

    [...]

    Kyrgyz men say they snatch women because it is easier than courtship and cheaper than paying the standard "bride price," which can be as much as $800 plus a cow. The cow is the sticking point there. But we digress: Family or friends often press a reluctant groom, lubricated with vodka and beer, into carrying out an abduction.

    Stability & rootedness is favored. For this, I spend more time in stance work than many other aspects.

    2. Principals of body Mechanics

    Unified. Any movement is reflected in body structure.

    3. Principals of Footwork

    See above. For the most part, I retain 100/0 weighting.

    4. Principals of entry, and positioning.

    Entry is by "leaking" when in contact. When not, it sorta depends what's going on. By default, I'd enter with a combo kick/punch.

    Positioning is generally "front door"

    5. Principals of combat, tactics, attacks, defense etc...

    Keep punching
    I freely admit to not having a groundfighting game, but neither do I care about having one.

    6. Principals of training skills, and of coure principals.

    Keep punching

    I should add that I'm not the best person to ask since I didn't take up the study Kung Fu for it's fighting prowess. That was a side benefit for what I was seeking [which was not "chi balls" either]. Hence, I don't put alot of thought behind it.

    . Principals of body structure
    The body structure adapts to
    whatever the circumstance is.The body is trained to deal with any means of self defense from an attacker to rolling down a flight of stairs.

    PHP Code:
    2. Principals of body Mechanics 
    The body moves natural never distorted or in an awkaward movement.Each attack and defense is practical using
    the least amount of energy to do the most amount of damage.

    3. Principals of Footwork
    Footwork again adapts to the circumstance there is angling,stright in,back pedaling,cross stepping,leaping.

    4. Principals of entry, and positioning.
    These concepts of entering and positioning are based on timing,space,distance the practicer
    adapts to the opponent looking for holes,openings,and weak points and attacks these.
    5. Principals of combat, tactics, attacks, defense etc...
    To use anything and everything to one's advatage to be well rounded in everything related to perservance of oneself.
    6. Principals of training skills, and of coure principals
    To have "LIVE"training and be able to deal with any confortation physically and mentally.

    sucker punching can work on anyone. The hardest punch is the one you never see coming...
    i'm nobody...i'm nobody. i'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo... a boxcar and a jug of wine... but i'm a straight razor if you get to close to me.

    A good sucker punch will beat just about anyone. That is the whole point of a sucker punch. A poor sucker punch on the other hand ...

    1. Principals of body structure
    We use what can be called a soft structure, i.e. not rigid or tense untill ation is needed.
    2. Principals of body Mechanics
    One can only move from a position of relaxation to a position of tension, never one of tension to another of tension.
    3. Principals of Footwork
    keep feet close to the ground even when moving. The suffling effect this creates makes it harder to gage distance and closing speed.
    4. Principals of entry, and positioning.
    Move in right angles when attacking, and tangents when evading.
    5. Principals of combat, tactics, attacks, defense etc...
    Win, preferably causing injury as an injured opponant can't follow you when you break away, but try not to kill. Aviod the fight if you can, but make sure you win. Dead people can't defend thier actions.
    6. Principals of training skills, and of coure principals.
    Learn to train. No person, regardless of his or her rank, may stop practicing or learning. To stop means you can no longer begin.Degrees are merely points on the circle, all being an equal distance from the center, the Tao. Never ler rank or lack of it cloud this truth.
