Principles from martial arts
I have a passion for these principles. When you understand them you can use them everywhere and anytime.
Jiujitsu
At first you will se a trick, a technique.
After some time you will discover the principle behind the technique.
Some will then understand that the principle can be applied in many different situations.

Principles
We divide the principles in Three Groups:
1. The main / Durewall principle:
"With
minimal force
achieve maximum effect
without causing
pain or injury"
2. Six basic principles
Protection Balance Movement
Firmness Softness Consideration
3. Principles
Most principles here are well know in physics, mechanics, bodymechanics and strategy. The unique thing Kurt Durewall did was to put the in to a systematic educational system and use the in totally different areas.
Protection
Protect yourself from attacks/accidents and your body from other injuries.
This principle is important Before, during and after you do a technique. Eyes is the best defense against both attacks and accidents. Always evaluate risks and search for the safest solution.
Balance
The body position with minimum necessary muscle strain
To have balance is quite easy. To keep balance is hard. It is important to practise and use body awareness exercises.
Movement
Move to change the situation to your advantage
Movement is very important to keep balance, to use minimum force and to be protected.
It is so important that even that we have balance, softness and protection as basic principles movement was added.
Firmness
Be firm and decisive in your verbal and physical defense
Hesitation will destroy your rhytm and make your moves loose it´s flow.
Your opponent will feel that you hesitate and that will make them get stronger.
Softness
Overcome opposition Power with minimal force
Ju or Jiu that starts the Word Judo or Jiujitsu is often translated to softness. What it means is that you should use minimum force.
Consideration
Show kindness, respect and esteem for your fellow human beings
Every solution should be with minimum violence and we should treat the opponent as good as possible without risking our safety.
In self defense we do not allow revenge. That means that if you can choose between two or more self defense techniques you should Always choose the one that is most human and least violence.
