Principle of the Thorn.
This Principle is known sometimes as the “Principle of the Rose”. The concept behind this Principle is basically to strike and destroy everything an attacker throws at us. This is done by using the hard striking parts of our body to intercept the softer tissue muscle, tendons, joints and even small bones of the attacker. A few examples of this would be to use our elbows to smash the attacker hand when he striking, or to guide the attacker hook kick into a Elbow smash against his knee, or to kick the attackers ankles with out foot (when wearing shoes) Other areas to hit are soft tissue areas like the muscles on his arms and legs when he attacking, or to impale a elbow strike into the attackers chest if he rushes in, or finger jag or gorge into the attackers eyes or throat. The harder the attacker strikes out the more he gets damage.
When we look at this as the concept of the rose, a beautiful flower to look at, but if we reach out and grab the stem, it can be a painful experience. Likewise looking at a silat player it can be very beautiful and graceful to see him move, but try to grab or hold him against his will and suddenly you will find that’s you body will be in a lot of pain.
