If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.
The whole key to a fight is throwing the first punch.
Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
Tactics is the art of using troops in battle; strategy is the art of using battles to win the war
There are so many variables that go into a fight, you shouldn't waste your time worrying about the other fighters.
The implication that there was something wrong with the war plan is amusing.
Act after having made assessments. The one who first knows the measure of far and near wins - this is the rule of armed struggle.
When you fight, if it is a real fight, use every tool that you have, use your whole body. Use your fists, your legs, your fingers, your head if you have to, and hit them in every vulnerable spot, the balls, the eyes etc. to win.
When your opponent fears you, then's the moment when you give the fear its own rein, give it the time to work on him. Let it become terror. The terrified man fights himself. Eventually, he attacks in desperation. That is the most dangerous moment, but the terrified man can be trusted usually to make a fatal mistake. You are being trained here to detect these mistakes and use them.
A sniper's primary goal is to eliminate ground threats for U.S. guys on the ground. Is that what a coward is? A person whose goal is to save the lives of his warrior brothers?
The first rule of all air combat is to see the opponent first. Like the hunter who stalks his prey and maneuvers himself unnoticed into the most favourable position for the kill, the fighter in the opening of a dogfight must detect the opponent as early as possible in order to attain a superior position for the attack.
I think the troops deserve the best equipment on the battlefield, the best training, and American armor if they get in trouble.
Artillery is more essential to cavalry than to infantry, because cavalry has no fire for its defence, but depends on the sabre.
I expect the best Anderson Silva. I don't think he'll toy with me like he toyed with other guys, I can explode in and touch his chin, and all it takes is one shot.
MMA was love at fight sight. I felt like I was born to do it.
Cover your selfe with your shield, and care not for cryes.
My style? You can call it the art of fighting without fighting.
Normally, as long as I'm telling him what to do, he wins in a fight.
The more you learn about the science of boxing, the more appreciation you have for man's ability to think and perform in violent situations, and that's what interests me in film.
Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it.
I don't feel that emotion is a good thing to have in combat. You must be cold.
I know since my first fight in the UFC I can beat Ronda Rousey, but of course I have to take my time and put everything together.
It's important to have the right strategy. I can't commit to things or fight like I used to. I can't just bang it out. I have to be more intelligent in training and in fighting.
You know how a fighter always comes into the dressing room way before a fight? That's me - I'm like a fighter.
