Strategic Concepts by Defense Expert
Author: Robert Bussey

"What makes the demand for personal responsibility relative is the fact that peace cannot be guaranteed in any society."

"A good start in de-escalating conflict is to remain level in the frequency, range, and volume of your voice."

"Anger can escalate a situation very quickly, often with negative effects. However, if anger prepares us to act, then we can use it to motivate a constructive response."

"What is defense? It is a countermeasure to aggression, an act of protection from danger."

"My movement is not different for the sake of being different. It's different for the sake of being effective."

"You must remain unshaken in the face of slander and animosity, leaving vengeance in the hands of God."

"In the end, comparing martial arts styles is mindless debate because fraudulent techniques and ideologies are widespread in almost all of them."

"Your learning process should include an emphasis on supreme adaptability with no apathy toward realism when it comes to no-rules protection."

"The real questions, with respect to any style, remain somewhere between its relevance to physical pragmatism and the philosophy it represents."

"Training must be straightforward with emphasis on realism in order to sustain an effective shield against the possibility of evil opposition."

"If training methods are to be truly pragmatic and socially beneficial, morality must accompany them."

"First and foremost, we need to avoid conflict with great effort and remain in touch with the kind of conduct that will promote the highest regard for human life."

"As with past generations, there are today those who fail to be tamed by any moral code."

"I have, on several occasions, been capable of energizing myself to such an elevated state of mental alertness in combat that all physical selections have been dispatched with the highest level of strategic benefit."

"Remember, a committed mindset is important. Our past attempts directly affect your current experience."

"Integrity should be a warrior's personal standard. Having it builds both credibility and character."

"The perception a person has is reality to him."

"Reverse your mental viewpoint in order to generate fresh insight."

"Combat is not meaningful…surviving combat is."

"In combat, there is always an advantaged position. You must be creative in making sure that when the conflict starts, you are not so preoccupied with defense that you cannot think to recognize a dominant position."

"When the enemy is cruel, insane or without conscious, hunt him."

"Seek council, but always be aware of the adverse consequence of imperfect people."

"True, having obstacles stresses us out. But, having a positive plan of attacking those obstacles reduces stress and the inner frustration it causes."

"Taking action is as concrete as concrete itself. It is the tool to realizing your dream."

"If your goal is to get to the other side, then your choice of a strategic game-plan is critical."

"A big part of successful change is to remain relaxed, focused, and solution oriented while maintaining a sense of realism."

"Perceive, recognize, and appraise both your target goal and the obstacle that stands in the way of your accomplishing it."

"Fight to apply yourself unswervingly to devouring your enemy with all of your senses working together on your behalf."

"It is less the actions of the body and more the agenda of the soul. Analyze the course of one's intention."

"When hostility, anger, and dominance are present, honest discussion is nearly impossible."

"The pressure of combat may be very intense. Transform your mind to expect chaos and be able to adapt to it. This frame of mind mixed with repetition and discipline will cause your reactions to be more automatic."

"There is always a line that, when crossed, results in a consequence. Establish the line early and try to keep a safe distance behind it."

"If trust can be established, it should be considered both an opportunity and a privilege."

"Savor, then evaluate good performances so that you may duplicate your victories."

"The core belief system of your opposition should be analyzed carefully."

"Do not attempt to match the attributes of your enemy. Go around them…take advantage of his weaknesses, destroy his best fighting tools."

"Utilize your senses in every part of your material existence. These senses can be sharpened in a natural way within practical boundaries."

"The body is a sheath that holds the emotional, intellectual, and core of each individual soul, and therein lies a man's willpower."

"Utilize basics to engage your foe. Then, employ your superior tactics to solidify the win."

"Loyalty is a cultivated perk, but not necessarily something you can count on. By the same token, those full of spirit who are privileged with a sense of unyielding loyalty can conquer the greatest foe."
