The art of confrontation

The art of confrontation

This is an art and not a science . When to attack, when to retreat and when to strike.  The most important is how hard is the strike to hit it in and get the optimum impact.

All these steps are different in different circumstances and this the beauty of this art. Just like in the art of Tai Chi.

Each movement  , each posture, each breath  and the speed will determine the strike or retreat of each moment.
The firmness of the step, the movement of the hands guiding the breath,, the depth of each breath and the relaxation of each push and retreat  will provide the optimum impact of this coordinated movement . When people attack, you retreat and you counter attack. When the force is too strong , you have to avoid the force and move away and wait for the right moment to attack. It is not necessary for us to counter each strike . A retreat is also an attack because the attacker missed the mark and used up his or her energy. However, when to exercise these steps varies according to your opponent。 if he is weak, you kill him in one strike and if he is powerful, you have to retreat and wait for the timing to attack or you better run away.

These sequence of action also can be used in the war of words or in a quarrel. If your opponent is your superior , you better judge his mood before raising a point or be aware of his limit and be prepared to hold your balls and run. Apply the wisdom of say nothing and do nothing when you are angry. Just walk away from the situation and let to your anger. Stay well and fight another day.

The speed ,the power of each blow, the depth of each breath and execution of each step needs good judgement to be effective. This will depend on your skill and knowledge to judge.

To know the strength and weakness of your opponent will help you to win the war. A thousand times over.

Namaste.
