Are you preparing for what a real self defense situation might look like? Cutting cake ain’t what it’s like in the movies.
“Speed now illuminates reality whereas light once gave objects of the world their shape.”
—Paul Virilio
“The invention of the ship was also the invention of the shipwreck.”
—Paul Virilio
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” —Sun Tzu
"You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.
You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.
Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands."—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
