Street Fighting Techniques and Principals

There is a tendency among martial artists today to maintain a lengthy list of techniques: 100 punch counters; 200 grab counters; 50 club counters; multiple knife, kick, and throwing counters; not to mention the untold counters for more exotic weapons -- a technique for every occasion. The problem with this kind of thinking is that every new situation often requires the addition of another new technique. Perhaps past masters saw a similar trend because the Chinese word chuan fa (kenpo in Japanese) seems to address this very problem. Chuan fa and kenpo have been translated variously as fist way, fist law, and so on, but the best translation into English is actually "fighting principles" (see Translation notes below.)

    That's "fighting principles," not "fighting techniques." Unfortunately, most of us do not study fighting principles. Too often, we study (and teach) techniques rather than principles. Fighting techniques are not the same as fighting principles (actually, good techniques demonstrate the principles). Too many practitioners today believe that "the more techniques I know, the better fighter I will be." In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Moreover, fighting principles encompass more than just our techniques and methods of attack and defense; they also include our opponent's. His direction, speed, distance, and angle of attack frequently dictate our responses.
