Unified Combat Theory - No Wasted Motion

Unified Combat Theory #

No Wasted Motion #

Rule # 1. Never do anything that is useless. Rule # 2. Never do anything without a purpose. … I’ve seen guys that had multiple black belts in multiple disciplines get their asses handed to them by an untrained undisciplined bar fighter who was well-just a fighter. All the thousands of techniques they knew did them no good,…

Here’s what you should know about techniques…All techniques should be evaluated first on these two overall principles: 1. Economy of Motion - Everything you do must be direct, simple and quick. 2. Efficiency of Action - Every techniques has to work with as little complexity as possible and must deliver as much energy or power as possible into the target, the opponent. … I’ll finish this where I started because it is so important: Never do anything that is useless and Never do anything without a purpose. Anything more or less will likely get you killed.
