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...

Copy First, Create Later: How People Learn and Solve Problems In today's world, there are people with inner motivation — they know what they want and are willing to try the ideas that come to mind. These are the experimenters , the inventors . Then there are others who need to be motivated externally — by other people, by incentives. This second type is more common and reflects the spontaneous reaction most people have when first facing a problem. When a problem arises, the first instinct is to look for examples. If there's something to copy, they copy it — like a son mimics his father's way. Only if there is no example does the inventive process begin. So we can conclude: there's no problem with duplication , even though InFi development advocates creation rather than copying . The truth is that creation works in both ways : First, we copy. Second, we invent. This also explains the popularity of corporate styles in the past. To summarize: I WANT TO DO SO...

“Attain to utmost Emptiness. Cling single-heartedly to interior peace. While all things are stirring together, I only contemplate the Return. For flourishing as they do, Each of them will return to its root. To return to the root is to find peace. To find peace is to fulfill one's destiny. To fulfill one's destiny is to be constant. To know the Constant is called Insight.” -  A quote from one of my favourite—and perhaps the most important—books: the Tao Teh Ching by Lao Tzu, written thousands of years ago.  These words describe exactly what InFi has always meant to me. When I first named it, I thought I was shaping my own individual movement and self-defence. But beneath that, I was really searching for something much deeper: stability and my roots. I would always say to disturbances,  “leave me in peace.” Life never stops stirring. In my own story, there have been struggles, victories, losses, miracles, betrayals, and restless searching. Many times I lost my way. But ea...

Since there is no ultimate truth in this world, there is no perfect style to take on or put on. Styles are born and attached to individuals. As the InFi philosophy says, everybody has a different individual fighting style. Therefore, InFi styles have owners. In short: one person — one style. Ideally, then, there should be as many styles in the world as there are human beings. But the world doesn’t reflect this. There are major styles (trends) and minor styles. Some are popular, some are stagnant, and some disappear. Classical (traditional) systems are always struggling to gain ground, striving for popularity. Hidden traditional methods may even be in danger of extinction. traditional and InFi styles Classical or traditional ways are products—like cars, houses, or fashion trends. People pick them up from outside sources. Classical styles are not people's inborn or self-created ways; therefore, they can be sold. If you pay attention to the martial arts or combat sports world, you can...

Some days ago, I had a conversation with a martial arts expert about individual fighting. After my first two sentences, he said, “Aha, then it’s similar to MMA, isn’t it?” “Yes, in some respects it is,” I replied, “but in many essential ways, it definitely is not.” In columns, I listed their attributes. To make the picture even clearer, I began with the well-known concept of freestyle. None of these are classical styles. I highlighted the similarities to InFi in green, and the differences in pink. Each line represents the same aspect across all columns. In summary, we might call MMA a sport version of InFi—or restricted individual fighting . But we must not refer to InFi as free MMA in general, because the restrictions in MMA are not merely technical. The entire mindset is different. The most essential discrepancies lie in the third, fourth, and fifth lines above—which are not about freedom or limitation at all. Of course, every MMA fighter has their own InFi outside of competiti...

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 ...
