Many of the 12 contained principles have been used for centuries to gain the upper-hand in arguments, war, and politics. American Karate: Principles of Combat lays out the inner-workings of martial arts, and fighting in general:

•Control the Options and every move your enemy makes is within your favor.
•Learn the benefits of effective Sabotage
•Use Deception to stay one step ahead of your opponent
•Intimidate and lead your enemy through Dominance

Every victory is won with strategy, whether a fighter is aware of it or not. To learn the principles is to learn the formula for success in combat and warfare. Victory is attainable to all those who can apply its truths.
