And this was the reason why I wrote the book called Kosho Ryu Street Strategies: The Art of Escape, because without a SOLID strategy you will lose. 

Strategy without tactics

Those who study pressure points, Kyusho Jitsu with me are learning tactics. And this method that can be used to cause pain, disable, knockout and even cause death in an opponent. Yet, alone this will not yield the results you need. Youth tends to cause people to believe that the things they can do are forever.

And in truth the human brain does not stop development until about 25. Thus the final aspect of development is the part of the brain that understand consequences of actions. Today I see people in their 50's have not figured this out yet.

So you can see why youth believe because the won a fight or two they will be victorious when it really matters. Sadly there is no truth to this. Now while Kyusho Jitsu is about tactics, Kosho Ryu is about strategies. Do you see how they compliment each other. Finish the Yin/Yang?

Strategy without tactics

If you study any sport martial art that is also tactics. And while intimidation is a strategy it does not work on everyone. So it is a BAD strategy. There is always someone stronger and better. Therefore a great strategy becomes “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” – Sun Tzu.

Life is a journey, and so is the path of martial arts training. I began my training in my early 20's, when youth was on my side. At this time in life you appear to be strong. Now in my early to mid 60's I no long appear to be young. However I have trained in the martial arts as a lifelong path. Therefore I am far more prepared, strong now, than I was in my 20's. Yet I may appear to be weak.

Strategy without tactics is a waste.

Strategy without tactics in Conclusion

But I do not buy the western culture propaganda about the path of life. And the idea of "retiring" out to pasture, alone.

I continue moving forward. The way it is meant to be. Time will someday take it tole. I am in the winter of life. However that time is not hear yet. And how we thing is so powerful!

Join me on this journey. There is a free course below to get you started. Thank you for reading Strategy without tactics.

"while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” This is reactionary, and this is what the majority of arts taught today are. They teach you to react to what the attacker is going to do. This puts you at an immediate disadvantage. Now there are some today who are training with the idea of "preemptively" dealing with the opponent. That is reactionary too!

Victorious warriors win first!

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war." This is the core of a preparatory system, a complete system like Kosho Ryu. Kosho Ryu can be traced back as far as 600 ACE, with it's current roots to 1235 ACE. The complete system of study endures today because it works!

Complete martial arts training is learning that all aspect of life are training. Preparation is not just physical it is also mental and spiritual in nature. It includes all aspects from healing to destruction. Thus the term complete martial art.

Victorious Warriors win first - Your Style

Always remember martial art training is not about winning something! It is about continued and never end self improvement. Therefore you must continue to learn more and develop. The training should never become stagnant. And for many this is exactly what happens.

Kosho Ryu stands for continuous learning. It is complete because the student will see something from another art and learn it, if it resonates with him or her. Can you see how powerful this is?

And this is not for the purpose of RANK either. Many martial artist get caught up in the illusion that rank makes the martial artist, when it truth the martial artist makes the rank.

Victorious Warriors win first in Conclusion

And that is all sports. People make heroes out of these people and I have no idea as to why! 

Sport is and always will be a FAD. 

Train hard, so you can train harder and learn more. Thank you for reading Victorious Warriors win first.

Sun Tzu Teachings

The ultimate victory is to not have to fight. But you cannot always talk yourself out of trouble, especially today. And you cannot always run. Sometimes the environment and conditions you do give you this option. Most martial artist train to stand in the line of fight and just fight it out.

That might have worked when you were a kid, and does work in sport, because it is sport. You must learn to escape. And you escape by learning, training and applying the natural laws that govern this world. And the opponent cannot ignore these laws.

Sun Tzu Teachings - To Escape

To escape does not necessarily mean to run. And to be honest that may initially be hard to do.  And if you are not alone then to run is hard. To escape the attack, and manipulate the opponent into a place they can do no harm is far superior. And then if needed, because there is no other choice you can do damage. ANd to the degree needed to end the assault.

Sun Tzu Teachings in Conclusion

This is essential learning today. There are no heroes when it come to fighting. And no one ever wins a fight. Thank you for reading about Sun Tzu Teachings. Also checkout my Kosho Ryu, the art of escape courses.

Most of all there is so much more than this.

Environment and Self Defense

Therefore it is most important to understand that environment will dictate how the attacker behaves. And you can use the environment to predict what the opponent will do and how they will move. Therefore this is very powerful information! 

And the Art of War is a very important publication that martial artists love to talk about. But, they do not ever apply its teachings. And important to realize is that the majority of what is taught as self defense is opinion based on EGO and winning a few fights. Hardly a credible way to build a system! But that is typical of the western culture. 

Environment and Self Defense - FAKEbook

And as an example all of the "truth tellers," and I am one who try to expose the evil on Facebook. Facebook is the belly of the beast! Most important to note that whose employees WILL FACE TRAIL for election fraud, treason and crimes against humanity. And the clock is running. Nothing will stop what is coming. 

Therefore, how do you fight Facebook? From outside. STOP USING THE PLATFORM and they will go bankrupt! That is the Art of War! Not getting slaughtered in their backyard and bragging about it! 

History proves stupidity!

And if I look back at the 20th century there are many examples of not using or understand environment. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler decided to invade the USSR and got his ass handed to him! Why? Because his soldiers were not trained for that environment. But like the megalomaniac's today pretending to be elected officials, but their fall is coming. Another example was when the feared army of the USSR invaded Afghanistan and got destroyed. They were not prepared to fight in the mountains!

And history will always repeat itself. Why? BIG EGOS!

Environment and Self Defense in Conclusion

Good luck with that! If you are interested in learning to train in reference to environment follow this LINK. Thank you for reading Environment and Self Defense.

Sadly this beautiful angel passed away shortly after my return to Canada. But I kept close to her sister and family. In many ways her sister is my best friend. I returned to visit again in 2010, and in 2011. Now Romania is home.

Chaos is Predictable

In 2013 while on a month long trip to Romania a huge issue happened in my Dojo. The building we operating in was sold out from under us and we had to move BEFORE I was scheduled to return. I had to cut my trip short and return again to Canada. But upon my feet touching the ground in Toronto I knew I no longer belonged there. 

At this point in time I was living with my elderly mother. I moved back in 2011 when her abilities to live alone ceased. And I would never allow her to be locked away in one these "homes."

And I had promised her as much also, to pass in her home. So my son Scott and I lived there and took turns teaching classes, and seeing her needs were met. she passed on August 11th 2015 at 96. I finalized my plans to leave and moved January 29th 2016.

Chaos is Predictable

Now my mother was my mentor in life. I had a great childhood. We were poor, but happy.

When I came back in 2013 my mother said to me she did not expect me to return. We talked, because I had decided to move to Romania. And my son Scott decided about a year later to do the same.

So what is the point to this article? To understanding that the mind must be open at all times to learning. And learning is NOT following some alleged 'expert' because he has letters behind his or her name. Do you know how many experts in "life" told me I was INSANE and would fail?

Chaos is Predictable - Failure is NOT an option!

And I did not fail. Was the move challenging? One hundred percent! There is not much English in Transilvania, the region I live in, therefore I had to adapt quickly. But I had already experience this, and knew this. And Romanian is a very challenging language with Latin and Slavic roots.

Once there, I for about 3 months at first had to deal with a life of chaos. Working with a lawyer and accountant setting up a business, and praying I would have no issues with immigration. It went as sooth as glass. 

Now for the streets - Chaos is Predictable

There is chaos on the streets of the west today. are you training for chaos? Or for a fight with rules? What did I learn from this adventure? That Chaos is Predictable! But only if you are awake, and ready for it.

Today because of ridiculous addictions to stupidity ideologies like we see a large number of people are walking around free. And with a serious mental illness. Most important to note it takes many different forms. I just called it the "woke mind virus." It is an extreme point of view, based on communism. Which is an extreme fail ideology. And always will be. But stupid is as stupid does! 

Chaos is Predictable n Conclusion

Never argue with a idiot as he may be doing the same thing. And the corrupt police are on their side! So sad!  What happened to Justice for all???

And this cannot be about ego, or a fight. And the first option must always be to escape! Do no harm. it is just not worth the consequences unless there is no other option. And learning to deal with chaos. if you are prepared you can handle almost anything. Chance favors the prepared mind!

There is a free course below to help you get started on escaping. Thank you for reading Chaos is Predictable.
