Combat Strategy And The Art of War

From Ancient Battlefields To Modern Urban Jungle (江湖, jiāng hú)

What is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy’s strategy. Next best is to disrupt his alliances by diplomacy. While all else fails, attack his army. And the worst policy is to attack cities. — Sun Tzu

A martial artist is a fool without strategy, a strategist is handicapped without martial arts. - 1989
You have to get a hit on the target, but it's not just about hitting, you want to get an ultimate control the dimension of combat itself. - 2011-06.22

By acquitting with military history, strategies and tactics, the modern pugilist not only trains to be faster and stronger, but also school to be smarter and adaptive. Instead of becoming a brainless fist slinger, pugilists must learn to become a living weapon. His arena is not merely physical, but also psychological and spiritual.

Warriors with merely strength and skill, not matter how refined, without wisdom and virtues, they are no least hollow and ultimately useless.

The sparring arena is the battlefield of the modern pugilist. His mind is the general and his arms and feet are his armies. A general who signals his left battalion to initiate a diversionary skirmish is the same as a fighter feinting a left jab. Strategy, herein, provides the winning edge over the opponents.
