A Personal Decision-Making Framework in Percomboo IF Tactics are a fundamental component of the Percomboo  world. They function as personal decision-making frameworks, enabling individuals to respond effectively to internal or external conditions through structured, conditional logic. At their core, IF Tactics follow a simple structure: If [Condition], then choose from [Primary Options] → followed by [Secondary Options or Recommendations]. These tactics serve as the moment where an individual transitions from merely understanding Universal Principles to actively shaping or performing their InFi . IF Tactics are how the Percomboo world presents dynamic choices to individuals, empowering them to make conscious, situational decisions. Key Elements of IF Tactics Condition: The triggering factor or circumstance (internal or external). Primary Options (formerly “primary demo”): The broad, high-level responses available to the individual. Secondary Op...

   As in life, in the Percomboo world we present possible options, opinions, and universal principles—or the truth. For this reason, we highlight the teachings of two well-known ancient philosophers: Plato and Lao Tzu. Their wisdom both overlaps and diverges. They show us objective realities and subjective viewpoints. That is how the Percomboo world works. As usual, knowing what is opinion and what is truth is not always easy. Percomboo helps us, through the Ancients, to find clarity. PLATO    Plato and Lao Tzu are exemplary Ancients who have had an enormous impact on people across time and cultures. In Percomboo, they are not viewed as gurus to be blindly followed, but rather as representatives of two significant worldviews. They reflect two distinct philosophical traditions—Eastern and Western. Though both lived hundreds of years before Christ, they had different focuses, perspectives, and cultural contexts. Yet, they also have much in common.    Plato ...

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 ...

   In Percomboo, there are three primary instruments: the Stick , the Board , and the Porb . Each represents a dimension—one, two, and three—and serves as a medium for learning universal principles, refining personal movement, enhancing coordination, and providing physical exercise for muscles and joints. As you progress, these instruments can also become tools for artistic expression or simply a source of personal enjoyment. Stick    The stick is the simplest of the three instruments and is artistically closest to traditional practices such as eskrima or baton arts. It is typically a bit shorter than a standard staff. Symbolically, it represents one dimension —a straight line—and serves as a bridge between two points . It is also the most practical for self-defence, as it is easy to use, intuitive, and highly effective. In essence, it’s one of the most basic tools or machines ever created, yet incredibly versatile. Board    The board i...

Welcome to the Percomboo World The Percomboo World is a unique educational system focused on developing individual competencies and personal styles. At its core, Percomboo is built on three foundational pillars: Philosophy - Mental Psychology - Emotional Drills, Martial Art - Physical While technical  M artial Art  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...

  Yin and Yang: The Paralysis of Perfect Balance Yin and yang is the well-known symbol of the world's ever-moving duality. These are universal principles, but more specifically, yin or yang represents attitude — your chosen approach to life. While understanding the whole principle is helpful, trying to represent both sides simultaneously can be devastating. I’ve learned this through years of philosophical experience. Nobody can deny the fundamental truth that everything has two sides. If we pay attention, it’s obvious. That was my starting point 20–30 years ago. When both sides are equal, they are in balance — in harmony — which means they are not moving. Like a scale: as long as one side is heavier, the scale moves. Harmony sounds appealing, but balance is also a form of stillness — in other words, death. Consequently, harmony cannot last long because life is constant movement and change. An individual's desire for peace is often just the hope for a break — the weekend, th...

Repetition, Individuality, and the Formation of InFi Repetition is a fundamental part of the learning process. Every martial art and combat sport system uses it as a core teaching method — and for good reason. This principle is widely accepted and understood. But it raises an important question: To what extent can repetition shape our individual style? The answer: Only partially . Because repetition — no matter how intense or prolonged — can’t completely override our natural endowments. Your InFi (Individual Finesse) is deeply rooted in who you are. Training can shape and refine it, but it can’t erase it. The Illusion of Uniformity Imagine a group of people practicing the same movements repeatedly — a karate team performing synchronized katas or Shaolin monks drilling the same techniques thousands of times. Now picture yourself as their assistant or instructor. You know each person well. One day, they all wear identical uniforms and masks. Suppose their height and body type are also s...

The original INFI logo INFI is a name.  Behind this name is your skill.  No matter who you are and what you have learnt. INFI is your skill. The INFI Method The INFI Method is the empty-hand branch of SFS and its most unique part. INFI stands for  Individual Fighting —a way to develop your own natural style rather than copy someone else’s. Unlike traditional martial arts, where everyone must move the same, INFI focuses on the individual. Your body type, reflexes, mindset, and strengths shape your path. The method provides guidance and structured challenges, but the solutions are yours. In practice, this means no fixed forms or ideal techniques. INFI demonstrations never aim for visual uniformity—they reveal how effectively someone can solve a situation in real time. The measure of progress is not appearance, but efficiency. The trainer’s role is not to be a model to imitate but a guide, like a road sign or a runway light. They help you find your own way. Progress...

This is my favourite oriental symbol of all time. Why? Because it perfectly captures the essence of how the world operates. Opposites, motion, transformation, cycles—this symbol represents them all. It illustrates how seemingly separate forces are, in fact, deeply interconnected. Their dynamic tension and constant interplay are what drive the world forward. This principle applies universally—whether in the material, mental, or spiritual realm. The idea of separation, of duality, is what allows everything to move, to evolve, and to exist in a perpetual state of change. Nothing in this world is purely one-sided. Nothing is entirely good, or entirely bad. That’s simply impossible. You might only perceive one side of a situation at a given moment, but that doesn’t make it the whole truth. Once you learn to adopt a more objective perspective, you begin to see the hidden balance in everything—even in the most challenging circumstances. You can discover the positive potential within situat...
