Starting from the basic principles of learning the rules of system, understanding the basic conditions for success, and learning the fundamental options available in every aspect of the system, it is possible to devise both simple and intricate methods of achieving the goal of the game. Progression from this point requires the observation, implementation, and processing of patterns to eliminate options and facilitate adaptation to opponents.
A general principle is that simple strategies are defeated by complex responses, while complex strategies are circumvented by simple responses.
- Mentality
- Pursuit of the path
- Suppression of delusion
- Information
- Game Mechanics
- Major aspects (damage, offense/defense, strategy implementation)
- System (depth of game play, parameters, environments, etc.)
- Limitations
- Tool assessment
- Individual attributes
- Strengths and Weaknesses
- Game Mechanics
- Practice
- Execution
- Punishment (situational capitalization)
- Fundamental tools (globally available techniques)
- Positioning
- Assessment
- Fundamental options
- Tool-specific options
- Battle practice
- Option elimination
- Opponent response assimilation
- Risk/Reward assessment and implementation (competing at a disadvantage)
- Categorization
- Pattern development
- Adaptation
- Pattern manipulation (test opponent response with patterns or techniques)
- Tiered option selection (utilizing opponent type for option implementation)
- Free form combat (competing without competing)
There is no specific order for implementation of these concepts; however, the practice must be correctly implemented in order to train in a manner that facilitates strategic growth. If practice is maintained for the entire duration of the pursuit, there will be no limit to the capabilities of the practitioner.
