The Art of Timing

Advantage is subject entirely on timing. Solving for the logic of the opponents weakness can be done from the lead position, or while following. Difficulty in this lies in 3 areas: your traits, the opponents traits, and the environment. Having time to solve and process obstacles is afforded to the one that is in control of the fight. This means that being the leader is the natural position of advantage. As the fight develops. You will understand who is truly in control, as even followers can lead the fight. The ebb and flow of combat is a living, breathing creature. Flow is ever-changing.

Understanding the art of timing means you must understand types of people. First, large groups are to be quantified. Then, we refine by using multiple subcategories with more pointed perspectives. Using already existing groups by drawing paralleled can give insight to a persons motives and values. This makes them predictable, “birds of a feather flock together”, as they say. It takes a special eye and unique perspective to do this, and my mentor Kaizenmaster has this special eye. Kaizen opened my eyes, and now I seek to develop what he taught me as I pass it to others.

As I said before, categorizing competitions is an important part of timing, but there’s so much information out there to recognize so it’s also good to categorize competitive behaviors.

This is where I classify things with broad strokes, I categorize things as offense, defense, jabs, and disengagements. This is the beginning of learning to read the chessboard of a fight.
