[edit] Junsado as Combat Strategy

Junsado deals with what changes during a confrontation. One reacts to one's changing perceptions. At the core of the changes, there is ground that you can stand on. Junsado can be armed or unarmed.

[edit] Junsado Principle

Junsado strategy is based upon the principles of change and leverage. Every change has a core force that drives it. Junsado is responsive to those forces by utilizing four primary responses and nine secondary responses to survive and resolve the situation efficiently.

Five Stages of Movement Every movement in Junsado goes through five different stages in a simple flow :

1. Preparation
2. Execution
3. Impact
4. Follow through
5. Finish & Repose.

Your stance, footwork, mobility, hand skills, kicking skills, and joint immobilization skills are critical for combat preparation. (

[edit] Junsado Basics

1. Stance is divided into two fundamental types: full stance and half stance. 2. Hand skills are classified in two types; open and closed 3. Elbow techniques are linear and circular. 4. Take-down techniques are static and dynamic. 5. Joint locks are standing immobilization and ground pinion. 6. Footwork is classified in two ways: offensive and defensive.

[edit] Double Blade Strategy

In two words, the core Junsado combat strategies are perception and deception. Perceiving what the opponent intends is the primary goal. Then analyse and plan your actions. But do not allow your opponent to perceive what you intend to do. Deception comes into play at this stage. There are obvious deceptions and unseen deceptions. Both are good for combat. Sometimes the most obvious deception is the best. Skillful interaction of perception and deception paves the road for your success.

[edit] Primary Response

The primary response is the instinctive animalistic safety response that you are born with. It has four goals:

1. To gain time to escape;
2. To secure the stability to fight back;
3. To establish mental and physical superiority over your opponent;
4. To create the opening for your secondary response.

[edit] Secondary Response

The definition of the secondary response is the actions necessary to end a confrontation. There are simple techniques and complex techniques; single techniques and multiple combinations such as lateral and planar combinations. Some forces are often unified or opposed, therefore you must be able to perceive the condition of the forces to unify or oppose them in 9 different ways

This is just a brief overview of the Junsado Method.
