DUDE-JITSU - the supple or gentle art
One of the hallmarks of Dude-Jitsu is its ability to meet the situation in a way that's properly balanced for the situation. Dude-Jitsu gives us a full arsenal of tools or weapons, ranging from a slight parry to a full-grown encounter - and everything in between. It's the 'in-between' part that is really the most important element, because this implies an ability to modulate. Kind of like a dimmer switch on a light bulb. It can go from off-to-on, and anything in between. Without Dude-Jitsu, we may never understand that there is an entire world between on and off, black and white.
We're not out to change the world, except by changing ourselves. It's something that we each decide for our self. In my opinion, force doesn't work too well when it comes to improving the world.
