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 ...

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...

Thank you very much for reading this. This blog is just the beginning. My intention is to raise awareness in you about your InFi —your Individual Finesse or Fighting,  personal style. I'm confident you understand what I want people to realize. Why is InFi such an important concept to talk about and spread? There are two main reasons: 1. Awareness. I want to prevent people from feeling inadequate simply because they struggle to master certain skills that may not be suited to them. For example, an older woman may not be able to earn a black belt in a traditional system with full integrity—not because she lacks dedication, but because the system wasn't built for her. (Of course, in a corrupt commercial world, anyone can buy certificates and black belts—but that's not the point.) 2. The upcoming Percomboo (PCB). The second reason is the introduction of PCB —a program and technology designed to help anyone improve and develop their most natural , style. PCB is rooted in ...

non-traditional kick 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 tr...

You can scoop water, but you cannot grip it or crush it. Water makes no effort to be high; it naturally seeks the lowest point. If you try to raise it or strike it, it resists and pushes back. It has no will to serve what is claimed—it simply serves. Water nourishes all things. It waters flowers, sustains living beings, cleanses, softens, and embraces. Water always tries to come to rest, yet it cannot be stopped until it reaches its final destination. If you place something in its path, it finds a way around. It can bring down barriers. It seeps through the smallest cracks. Water clings stubbornly to some things, yet it only serves: washing, carrying, softening, cleansing, and shaping. It can evaporate or freeze when influenced. It is unbreakable and invulnerable. It has no shape of its own, yet it can take any shape. Water is clear and transparent—it conceals nothing. If undisturbed, you can see yourself reflected in it. But if you stir it, your reflection becomes distorted—just as ...

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...
