The Martial Unity

Rui grew incredibly excited at this new revelation!

The reason for this was that he had inadvertently come across one of the principles of Jeet Kune Do, a martial art that Bruce Lee himself had developed. The principle of intercepting one's opponents' attacks by moving before their opponent moved.

('How do you combat something that's too fast for you to combat after it has begun? You defeat it before it begins,') Rui hadn't intended on it but had inadvertently stepped in the direction of one of Bruce Lee's principles.

After all, his technique relied on predictions to begin to move ahead of time with perfectly timed pre-programmed movements.

('It's more than just that,') Rui narrowed his eyes. ('My technique entails not just using predictions to gain foreknowledge on my opponent, and not just using that to move ahead of time. The timing matters the most. In a clash, I must aim to move before my opponents move, yes, but also after it is too late for them to change their movements.')

Once the decision-making process in his opponent's head was complete, the moment the brain transmitted a nerve impulse to be sent to the body, it was too late for the brain to change its decision. It was only after this point, that Rui could begin his movements before his opponents began moving without them reacting and altering their original movements.

He had a narrow gap between before it was too late for them to change their movements, and before their actual movements began.

('That minute timeframe is within which I must time my technique,') Rui narrowed his eyes.

that they were able to escape as quickly as they did was because of Gale Force Breathing, and it had probably saved their lives that day. Thus, Rui most certainly did not look down on
