The Ultimate System

For years people have been searching for the ultimate/universal martial art system. Some individuals have claimed that their art or system is the supreme of all...insert hysterical laugh ....with no basis other than their own point of view. However, I do believe that most systems contain elements of truth.

But I also believe that these elements are more rooted in principle than technique.

All techniques should be built upon dynamic bio-mechanical principles.

Unfortunately many systems are guided by techniques instead of principles.

I think that the universal search should be for universal principles that once found can be the basis for combative effectiveness.

1000 techniques are ok...but....a few universal principles lead to spontaneous, infinite applications.
