Axioms of the Warrior
Warriors of long ago followed time-tested axioms, which helped secure their survival in a
world far more dangerous than ours. Some of the axioms may apply to present day
life. Who knows when the situation may occur when we will need the wisdom of the
ancient warrior axioms?
Avoid ambush when moving through enemy territory by moving on the diagonal. Never go directly
to your destination. Never come back the same way you went out.
Be dead still when lying in wait for the enemy. The careful win over the reckless.
Attack when the enemy is unprepared. Attack at night. Do not attack strong warriors. Do not
fall for baited traps.
When planning an attack, always include a plan for a hasty withdrawal if the attack is
failing. Always be capable of a withdrawal in any situation.
Even in safe areas, change your plans and timetables to avoid treachery.
When making plans for an attack, look at your strength and weakness. Look at your enemy’s
method of making war. Avoid his strength and exploit his weakness.
When estimating a situation in planning a attack, look for the most relevant point in
the situation. This could a key to victory.
When moving through enemy territory, keep your mouth shut and eyes open.
Also keep your mouth wet and your feet dry. When anxious your mouth becomes dry.
Making spit will keep you calm
