“Being precise in executing your formal exercises and practice in the training hall may not translate to effective techniques in an actual conflict, unless you have this sincere and exclusive attitude of defeating the adversary. In absence of this attitude you will be defeated.” - Peyton Quinn, Musashi Book of Five Rings: Explained in Plain English
Comment: Precisions is only necessary as to goals. It must not become the dogmatic doctrine of martial disciplines as the results will be catastrophic to life and limb. Nothing in combat is ever precise, it is chaotic, unforgiving and results in the extremes of violence. It is that something that must be avoided yet able to defend and protect is some situations and circumstances. All controllable if one applies themselves.
