InFi

  InFi is your unique fighting ability, your combat style. 

It is your instinctive skillset that can improve by learning and practising. InFi is not a newly invented thing. It is only the abbreviation of the individual's way of fighting if fighting is not avoidable. The concept of fighting is not merely physical but mental and emotional. Therefore your InFi is much more than brawling. It is the way you handle your conflicts.

  Everybody has an InFi style or skillset (even your grandma has it), but everybody's InFi is more or less different. They are different as much as we are all different. The base of InFi is the individual and the universal principles. Hence, the more you are different from someone, the more your InFi style can be different. Your individuality comes from your physical and psychological attributes.  InFi is not about your attitude towards fighting. It does not matter if you are a dangerous combat guy or a lovely Christian peacemaker. It does not matter if you haven't been aware of it till now. It exists! YOU HAVE INFI. InFi is your secret or known physical and psychological safeguard behind or in your appearance and actions. Even someone who has never thrown a punch and will never do it has InFi instinctively. Don't you believe it? Then imagine anybody you know, who is not a fighter type, attacked. What do they do? The action they do is their 'automatic defensive counter-action their natural InFi.  Every traditional or modern self-defence and fighting method comes from InFi. Karate comes from InFi, Kung fu comes from InFi, BJJ comes from InFi, Aikido comes from InFi... InFi is the origin even if you call it 'survival instinct, 'defence mechanism, or whatever. In the Percomboo world, we call it InFi.

  Why does it matter if everyone has it, but we don't use it? The answer is that it doesn't matter. It simply exists. Your InFi becomes important at the moment when you get opposition in life, either physically, mentally, or emotionally. You can suppress it in your action at present, but it is there. You can hide it, but you cannot change it because it is a spontaneous (physical or emotional) reaction. Even though when you are learning karate, kickboxing, or krav maga, you are improving your InFi style, and an unexpected situation automatically exposes your InFi, your actual, personal 'inside out' style. This is why people in a slightly ruled situation - in the street or any free social event - could not represent the perfect standards they have learned. We are humans. Your InFi can remain hidden or improved, and it can be shaped or polished. Studies, learning traditional styles, self-discipline, and many things can modify your original InFi, but they cannot change it. Your way is your way. And it always conveys your personality and unique moves.

  In brief, InFi means your automatic, spontaneous, unique action, reaction, thoughts, and emotions to anything that goes or is against you. The difference between any general knowledge found in books, schools, or websites is that InFi is personal. Your InFi belongs to YOU.
