Stay away from disputes, the benevolent are invincible.
"Do not impose on others what you do not desire yourself." Martial artists must always remember that martial virtue is the first principle! At any time, never use your skills to provoke or show off, stay away from disputes. Refuse any meaningless challenges, and even turn a deaf ear to harmless provocations, ignore them, or even turn away to avoid them, making the opponent lose interest and retreat without a fight. The reckless resort to fists for everything, while the wise think three times before acting. In this vast world, with clear skies and bright earth, only the benevolent are invincible.
The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to run away
The highest principle of self-defense in combat: The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to run away. At any time, it's best not to linger in places of right and wrong. When there's no need to act, leave! When action is necessary, finish quickly and decisively, then leave! Never fantasize about being a "hero" who can "fight ten men at once" or "seize a blade with bare hands"! Being able to safely leave danger achieves the highest purpose of self-defense.
Act first when necessary
If the other party deliberately provokes disputes and refuses to let go; if you find yourself in a dangerous situation with no choice but to fight, you must strike first. Take the initiative, catch the opponent off guard! Your first strike must be the fastest and fiercest blow, launched before the opponent acts, targeting a vulnerable spot for a devastating attack! Aim to disable the opponent's fighting ability with one hit. Remember: In a dangerous situation, you must never fall into disadvantage! You must seize the initiative! A fatal blow is best, but at least gain an advantage to control the situation, boost your confidence to win, and minimize the chance of injury.
Finish quickly
