   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...

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 ...

Sweapons (or simply Sweap ) is my personal armed martial art style. The system focuses on six practical and versatile weapons. These are both realistic for self-defence situations and rich in artistic expression and application. This weapon-based style includes techniques that cover short and long weapons, flexible and rigid types, as well as single- and double-handed usage. Each weapon also resembles some kind of everyday object, adding to its practical relevance. The six primary weapons in Sweap are: Stick Nunchaku ( Twik ) Long stick ( Lonk ) Tonfa ( Brak ) Chain Knife Practicing Sweap is both an enjoyable and physically conditioning experience, carried out with a clear sense of purpose and practicality.

Stretch Beyond the Mat: Why Flexibility Is a Life Skill Most people think of stretching as just part of a workout routine—a way to warm up or cool down. But for me, stretching is something deeper. It's not just about physical health. It's a daily reminder of how I want to live: adaptable, open, and resilient. A Daily Habit That Grounds Me Stretching is a daily habit of mine. Each day, I practice specific exercises to help me become and remain more flexible. It’s not about mastering advanced yoga poses or achieving some ideal physical state. It’s about showing up for myself with consistency and intention. Flexibility, I believe, is a key element of successful living. Without it, you can't truly adapt to different situations—physically or mentally. The Flexibility Mindset A lack of flexibility can leave you vulnerable. Others may hurt you, break you, or even destroy you—whether that’s through physical injury, emotional turmoil, or sudden life changes. When you're ri...

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...
