"To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill."
- Sun-Tsu
Traditional budo teaches three ways to win:
1. To win after fighting
2. To win before fighting
3. To win without fighting
Each way of winning represents a more elevated level of skill. Of the three approaches, the last is the most effective. It is also the least understood and practiced.
