Universal Principles

Universal Principles (including “Universal Laws”) are natural laws that govern our world. They are not human-made inventions. They exist independently of styles, trends, or cultural influences—they are the foundation of all things.

  • Universal: existing everywhere or involving everyone. (Cambridge Dictionary)

  • Principle: a basic or fundamental truth that explains or governs how something happens or works. (Cambridge Dictionary)

These are not opinions.
They are not beliefs.
They cannot be disagreed with.

They simply are—and it is useful to understand them.



Universal Principles (UP) apply across all dimensions: physical, mental, and emotional.
They are timeless and can be used anywhere, at any time.

For example, you can be in any country, belong to any religion or culture, and be of any race, age, gender, health status, or social class—Universal Principles remain valid and applicable. Some may be self-evident, while others require deeper explanation. Even if we do not fully understand them, they are still active forces in our universe.

Here are some universal principles:

  • Everyone is good at something.
  • Culture is stronger than scientific evidence.
  • Our actions can be corrected, but their consequences cannot.
  • The bigger it is, the slower it moves.
  • What goes around comes around.

Why should we learn them?
Because they never change. They are constant, reliable truths. While they might evolve or be understood differently in the far future, that possibility is irrelevant to our current lives.

Understanding Universal Principles is a central feature of the Percomboo World.

Individual styles behind traditional styles

Creating our individual style is a natural process. Everyone develops their style automatically. This statement is general but can be applied to any specific field—martial arts, combat sports, and self-defence are no exceptions. People who practice fighting are constantly creating their own fighting styles. They are, consciously or unconsciously, the creators of their unique approach to combat. Whatever one is learning, only a part of it will truly be absorbed. Another part will be automatically rejected by the self. Moreover, every absorbed element is filtered through a person’s individuality. The evolving individual fighting style becomes distinct from the traditionally practiced style. In other words, by practicing conventional techniques, one is also developing an invisible, personal fighting style—what we can call the InFi style. For example, someone studying Wing Chun kung fu or Kyokushinkai karate is guided by teachers and improved within the framework of tradition. At the same ...

The Percomboo world

Welcome to the Percomboo World The Percomboo World is a unique educational system focused on developing individual competencies and personal style. At its core, Percomboo is built on three foundational pillars: Philosophy Psychology General Martial Art (Physical Education) While technical martial arts appear on the symbolic surface of our world, they serve more as a lens through which we explore deeper ideas. A Modern, Global Approach In recent decades, the internet has radically transformed the way we access information, build knowledge, and share ideas. As a result, personal development has become increasingly individualized—and naturally so. Percomboo embraces this shift by supporting individual differences . We don't promote a single "right" way to learn or grow. Instead, we believe your way is the best way—for you . Our role is to help you discover, develop, and refine that way. How We Teach Our method follows a simple yet powerful framework: We presen...

Bruce Lee paradox

Yesterday, I raised the question of whether Bruce Lee was right or wrong when he said, "I do not believe in styles." The basis of this question lies in the well-known fact that styles do exist and have continued to thrive ever since he made that statement in a 1971 interview. It seems that his claim has had little effect on the popularity of martial art styles, even though Bruce Lee remains the most famous, influential, and legendary martial artist of all time. Millions of Bruce Lee fans and followers continue to practice one or more traditional martial art styles. In fact, many beginners—initially inspired by Bruce Lee—end up learning and devoting themselves to traditional styles. As a result, a certain contradiction becomes apparent, and the question is entirely justifiable. Now, I’d like to share my friend Milagros’ great response to that question: “The Dragon is right; people should not rely on style. People try to keep an open mind—I believe this is what the Dragon wan...
