THEORY; THEORY; SUB-PRINCIPLE: Ratio

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

The ratio principle concerns the relationship between “Energy and Effect.” 

Ratio 1: As martial artists we want a positive ration of effort vs. yield, with “effort” referring to the energy we exert in executing a technique (which ultimately should be relatively nothing) and “yield” referring to how much we affect our adversary.

The real goal involves expending less and less effort while achieving greater and greater results. We also want to produce a greater effect through less and less effort. 

Ration 2: The amount of power in a methodology vs. the amount of effect. How that power gets delivered to the target. Despite containing the same amount of overall power, even the amount of inertia, different methodologies will produce different results in the adversary.

As karate-ka and martial artist we actually want more yield than power. Energy can be delivered in different ways. It can produce lesser or greater effects depending on how it is managed. The human body is more susceptible to spiraling energy than straight energy, we can produce a yield greater than power if we use spiraling methods rather than flat ones. 

Ratio 3: How much we move vs. how much we make our adversary move. We want to move less and less while causing our adversary to move more and more. 

Ratio 4: Power is relative to time. The same amount of power delivered in half the time equates to twice as much power. Moving quickly to the target accomplishes little if we spread the impact over a long duration. We must not only focus on the speed at which we reach a target, but also on shortening the length of time it takes to impact the target. 

The same force concentrated into a smaller area results in greater power? Reduce the surface area by half and increase the power by two. Focus our energy on smaller and smaller surface areas. 

Ratio 5: Unfortunately, the distinctions between such applications that apply to ratio 5 prove far to subtle to illustrate in words. They must be experienced to be appreciated and learned.

FINALLY: We don not want just one ratio working in our favor; we want all ratios working in our favor. Every principled based multiple defense methodology should offer a positive effort to yield ration, power to yield ratio, movement to yield ratio, time to yield ratio, and space to yield ratio.

  1. This way my colleague Wesley Virgin's biography starts in this shocking and controversial video.

    Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

    THESE are the exact same SECRETS many famous people (notably those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's really because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain seven years ago, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3 in his bank account.

    "I'm so frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've been a part of those those types of conversations, isn't it so?

    Your own success story is waiting to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
