Fight fire with fire
When responding to aggressive opposition
Understanding the Rule
Combat aggressive tactics with equally aggressive responses. Match your opponent's intensity and methods. Sometimes meeting force with force is the only effective response.
What Happens When You Break It
Responding gently to aggression invites exploitation, demonstrates weakness, encourages escalation, and ensures being overrun by aggressive opponents.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Meeting force with force establishes boundaries, deters aggression, shows strength, prevents exploitation, and creates respect through demonstrated capability.
